Hello,

For all of those wondering the same thing as me. How good are the Noob Subs. Here I will compare a Noob Sub that is offered by our Trusted Dealers to a gen Sub. Please bear with me I'm no expert but do know some stuff about watch, I worked at AD once.

Genuine Rolex Submariner. (Not the same model but close enough.)

Noobmariner offered by one of our Trusted Dealers at a great price.

Now the two compared.

So to sum it up (or if the image is too small) this is what I found was not necessarily wrong but was not the same as the gen.

-The metal around the hour markers
are too big

-The letters on the rehaut are a little too small

-Rolex cornet looks off compared to the gen where it is stretched

-Crown look a little too small

-The crown guards look too small also

-The numbers on the bezel look too thick
(But maybe its the picture quality.)

-Pearl looks good, but the metal around it is too big

-Correct 2.5X zoom on the cyclops

Oh no how do you fix the pictures!!!!????

Narikka just posted that all the noobmariners are sold out, so I guess your inquiry doesn't matter

Also you are comparing two different generations of Submariner models based on your pictures, so there may be a few issues with that.

I am too a little since Google has a bajillion Sub images. But this has been discussed at length as well. The Noobs will get you 90-95% to gen. They need a new pearl/insert and a CG trim. Not bad for $100. The Noob dial is actually one of the best. If you want to get to the 96-99% gen, you have to go BK and the price goes up significantly.

I agree but I only use image over 10 Megapixals. But it can't be 95% gen because it (sometimes) does not contain parts. But do you mean thats how good the rep is.

Maybe I missed this from the beginning. We are in Off-Topic, so maybe this is some sort of test..........

Not sure exactly what you mean about not containing parts, but the 95% comment is based purely on outward appearance on the wrist.
