The NOOB Sub C is coming!!!

[jcagara08]

meh.. I bet they want it to be overhyped again like that of the explorer II for more sales, BP sub c and DSSD is quite good enough IMHO

 

[pilworx]

brutally disappointed.
fat hour hand....really?
same poor ceramic insert.

 

[John71]

dial look good, ceramic bezel lots of work

 

[Rich_IX]

It always amazes me how they can replicate the tough things, and overlook the easy stuff.

This is so true!
I wish they would take an effort to deal with the major issues like the fat hands and bezel instead of things people cannot see

Guys don't you all see the big picture?

- BP sub perfect dimensions... horrible misprint on the dial
- Noob sub c correct dial print... bad pearl
- NEW noob sub-c great pearl... fat hour hand

All these factories are actually owned by Rolex. They are purposefully making these great reps with one major flaw in order to drive us insane and ultimately go gen!

You all are still living in the matrix.

It took the rep forums 9 or so years (from the first 2003 no-lugholes gen issue) before a visually 99% accurate 16610 became available in 2012 through a modded sub with TC case and V3 bracelet.

Don't get your hopes up for a 99% accurate 116610 in less than 3 years from its gen release. Enjoy what you have right now. If it still displeases you, one can always go to the AD.

So the question remains: who has the best sub? :hehehe:

+10000.

Good point, Arcadia! Think of all the 16610 reps before we got our super rep. MBW, Euromariner, Fakeymariner, Noobmariner, sprinkle in a ton of B.S. other reps...then we finally get WM9, then that goes away. Then we get TC.

Strap in, this may take some time. Also, everyone needs to stop belly-aching about the fat hand on these subs. That's probably the cheapest and easiest thing to fix! Get a new hand set from Helenarou, and have a watchsmith install it. Done. You're out like $40 total, and you've fixed a tell. I'd rather they keep screwing that up, and fix the things that simple mods won't help.

 

[pilworx]

if the hour hand is the cheapest easiest thing to fix then why can't the freakin factory fix it in the first place...jeesh.
i mean really, this is ridiculous, they come up with a brilliant new pearl but stick it on the same lame poor ceramic insert?
i agree with the multiple versions theory mentioned above and can see it's really just a ploy to get chumps like us to buy more watches.

 

[PecMan]

many of you guys here , i guess at least 50% can afford a gen sub and with out pain in the pockets, i would go gen if mine didnt hurt

 

[mfernico]

But gens aren't illégal and therefore no fun!:thumbsup:

I can't agree more, but we know this industry, and it is what it is. I'm just saying that as far as flaws go, at least it's one we can easily fix ourselves, as opposed to a major flaw we just have to live with (i.e. no easy/cheap solution). That's all I was trying to express.

They probably bought 50,000 units of that shitty hour hand, and are just trying to unload them before spending the coin on a new allotment.

AD :thumbsup:

Ughhhh to order the BP or wait that is the question!!!

They could put it on 50,000 deepseas if that was the case.

The current noob is better than the BP right now. Much better quality.

It's humerous how split people are on this debate. Hopefully this NOOB combines the best of BP accuracy and their quality.

Wish I had a :hold my breath: emocon

 

[offroadfreak]

After what i red here. BP maker's submariner is actually closest to gen. However quality check is worse. So it harder to get a good one. You must check:

- glide lock
- reglue pearl (to be sure)

I would love to have a BP sub with noob dial and pearl.
