Anyone buy a new Noob 2013 Ceramic Sub???

I'm with Rudy on this,,, these watches are bad ass!,,,however after going to a AD and handling a gen,, the reps just don't cut it, period! they are miles off as of now, even after mods they're still too far off..... and contrary to what a certain noob believes is coming in the mail THE V2 IS NOT, NOT AVAILABLE YET! We'll just have to wait and see when it comes out if they've fixed all or most of the issues or have they fixed some and created new ones.
Wait a minute - I thought we were waiting for the new 2013 Noob Factory Ceramic. V1 has already come out and people are saying to wait for V2?
Has there been a comprehensive review of the V1?

i have to agree with this.
the most visible and obvious aspect of all rollie ceramics is the bezel and all these reps fail in this department; the engravings, variable color and sheen of the platinum markings and the cross sectional curvature of the ceramic surface which has everything to do with the reflective properties of the ceramic insert is NOT matched with any rep at this moment.
if any factory can finally get the ceramic bezel properly it will be a monumental move forward in accuracy.
uh...dials are good, pearl is finally good, hands can definitely be right, case is correct dimensions now, nice bracelets and clasp...so what's left?...the sh$%^y insert.
????
Yes that is a crack which was my fault when I removed the bezel during crystal swap and checked the pearl fitting. You do not see it normally, only under close detail like this pic!

Should be here in a few weeks all going well. Have asked the same question to a well known TD and that was the answer.
Also told me to hold on to my money for now, as in 2013 the factories were ready to go to war and that the reps would be taking a "super"lative step up.
Read into that what you will folks, but am looking fprward to seeing what comes our way this year. Think al hold for the Blue/Black GMTII Ceramic to surface after I get a look at the V2 or whatever numbered 2013 Sub. Waited so long on my DSSD getting the works treatment, av got some new faves now lol .

That was me who modded my 2013v1 noob with a gen crystal and a wm9v3 dial fitted with bp markers and hands.
The quality of the case ad bracelet is light years ahead of the bp so let's hope the v2 meets expectation.
Here are a couple of pics of mine.
That's gorgeous!!!! Nice modding!
I will have to try my hand at modding my 116610 with a gen crystal!
My current crystal has reflection artefacts (light circles) and a few scratches!!!
May I ask how much the gen crystal set you back?
I'm dying for one of these, but I'm not wanting to get one and a week later they release the bomb super rep, 1:1 must have, best rep of all time in the universe! EVER. then there I am with my prototype looking crazy.....

c'mon Mitch. You know no matter what you do, the next version always comes out about 3 days after you peel $450 off your wad for the latest, ultimate w/ swiss mvmt.
