I've bought and scrapped 3 sub-c's so far.... Man I don't want to get screwed on one of these... I don't mind modding it... but the others were garbage that looked good in pictures...

I just ordered another BP Sub C. But you know how they keep releasing new versions. They fix one thing and totally screw up something else that was good to begin with. They do it on purpose to keep us buying. Imagine if they made a perfect one ? You'd never need to buy again.

Hold off until the bezel has been updated. That is the same as the old noob version.

The pearl is much better though.

Wrong hour hand too. Although that's an easy mod.

I'm sure there are some experts that can chime in with some more though.

Good point!

But Ryan's is the new noob v2 correct? and supposed to be miles ahead of the bp sub...Im not going for the bp maker, hell even Sead told me it's not good in so many words.... I'm curious about Ryan's prototype...

Correct. There is a massive thread about it over at RG.

One of the dealers (Josh I think) shows torn down parts. The pearl is stunning and the LEC almost invisible on the crystal, but the insert is rubbish and they somehow put the hour hand from a DSSD on I think.

The BP looks good but all I see is people moaning about how badly it is assembled.

Ryan's isn't the noob V2, it's the new noob V1/prototype. The V2 is supposed to be released in the next month or so.

Angus is the dealer that posted the review of the pearl and bracelet, etc., but as others have said this still needs the bezel and hands fixed to be close to perfect. You won't see Josh/Andrew selling these watches as their relationship with the noob factory is not so good.
