The sad truth is Noobs gold can’t be trusted. All of mine had plating issues. I’d rather them wrap them and charge a little more than to spend $700 on a watch that starts to show wear in 2 months.

Sucks too because a RG Daytona can be so amazing.

Have to second this post, unfortunately Noobs gold is terrible, even if you have them replated, the base metal underneath somehow doesn’t react well to gold plating

I personally haven't bought a gold rep. It seems to risky with the plating and also I don't want to get stabbed in the UK..

Have you ever think about re-plating on your watches?
I am also curious about gold reps

Getting it re plated will still come off. I think the best method is gold wrapped from what I've read.

They look like gen on this photo, for example unless they have corrected the green one, the sunburst are not individuals.

Most likely theyre gen on the photos, they just used them to show which nee models they will be releasing. They also made some Blanken ones.

I assumed you mean Blaken? Can't say I had seen it on youku yet unless they are A7750s (we are talking about 4130 on this thread). Pls do share photos or links if you have them.

Despite what I said previously about my issues with Noob’s gold, there’s no denying they look stunning in this video: https://youtu.be/-7aa06jBkuI

I haven’t studied the visual flaws of these models yet, just speaking in general.

The sunburst on the chocolate dials aren’t great but the watch itself look really good! I have a YG Arf Daytona with no issues with the plating but always been skeptical about noobs.
