Congrats. Why did you pick this over the noob v2 date version? Also, why not the BP ND?

I ask because I was going back and forth, whether to get the BP ND or the noob v2 w/ date. In the end, I picked the BP due to following factors:
- supposedly better lume
- prefer the classic ND look
- renders moot QC issues w/ date wheel alignment, cyclops, or date font
- slightly lower cost

Nice pickup. But for me, I must have the date, although I probably don't really look at the date that much.

Anyway, I don't think one's superior to the other. Both have pluses and minuses. I'm a lume nut so I went with the BP but the noob seems to have a better bracelet and QC so you pick your evil.

for me the answer is simple: tha noob v2 bezel is really poor .. the print of numbers are really far away to original (see print "2" and "3" ) .. Bp is better.

the noob has certainly best material and best crown sharp teeth. for the rest I think it's better to go with BP

Could we trouble you for a lume shot old chap? I have my BP ND Sub C for comparison on a previous thread...

Who are you buying your BP Sub from?

 

[captaincaveman]

From Ryan. Still going through the QC process.

Does Puretime ship their watches regulated? I'm thinking in purchasing one these, very nice watch.

I bought an Everest Rubber strap from rsh with a plan to fit it on my Noob V1 Sub now and again, but am thinking this could be my next purchase.
Av emailed Ryan to ask if a V1/2 noob sub case and strap, could be fitted with a non date movement, dial and crystal. Fingers crossed he takes me up on it, sure he'd sell a few.

Excellent choice. Wear it in good health. I love my BK 114060. The ND sub is tool cool!

This reminds of the 911 vs Cayman - why go against the grain.

But then again different stroked for different blokes.

Enjoy.
