[jamztio]

And gentlemen, here it is! (although it's not final, but still...)
From Angus' post over on RG.
Should be ready in 7 - 10 days. Preorder is a possibility.

FC version come first. Before the SS Version. Nice.
But the dial is not ready for the 44mm's

ok so im hooked on all three, whats the best way to preorder?

 

[peterpl]

Not from Noob? Thats good. More competition from AP Makers. Noob had 100% market share. More makers the better for us all.

 

[Winterhude]

Wow,

curious to see the final product. but for now there are many flaws.

that will be next year my friend, as the SS version is not even ready.

the Factory has bought a Genuine item for replicate, but no news how they went with it.

and the v1 of the dark version will be DLC not ceramic.

Looks like the FC is in progress as I hoped haha. The structure looks OK, the FC pattern looks fine but that's just 1/3 of the watch so finger crossed. Besides not in a rush for any V1's this time.... Tempted to go for the kill immediately it's out, but I will hold myself and be patient ....

You gotta be joking on the pre order right?

There's no dial, and we don't know what movement that they will use since its not noob, so question mark on the movement,

Any idea on the price tag?

 

[yngchrn]

again this pre order.... thing.....

 

[sharrkey]

again this pre order.... thing.....

Pre order in half a rep, but if a joke if you ask me. What we see so far is good, case is thicker thou, but no dial yet and movement!!

the forged carbon looks better than any other fc he has in his site

 

[daz1201]

FC is the worst 1 of the 4 if you ask me ...I'm sick of this sh!t material

 

[yngchrn]

yup the FC looks good

 

[slaughterer62]

The FC on this looks very good, much much better than the recent GP FC re-issue and maybe better than the V3 Diver. I cannot see the tach ring well enough to compare with the gen. The dial and hands should not be too hard to manufacture. The pusher guards look well done, but the mounting screws are stripped, as someone pointed out: these need replacing with proper SS or Ti 5 screws.
I am pretty sure Angus will refund money committed to preorder if the final product is not satisfactory and if he does a pre-order. The pre-order money should then accelerate completion of the project.

how do u guys knows this is not from noob?

Yep, most of the hardest parts like the case, the pushers and the guards are already done. Now the dial remains. Movement-wise, I don't expect any decoration at all other than the rotor. Of course it's best if they found a way to decorate it. So far, this is pretty exciting even if it's still not a whole watch.

Hopefully some forum of movement decoration

how do u guys knows this is not from noob?

its from the Zf factory Pec same ones that made the V3 FC diver

 

[PecMan]

thanks sharrkey .
i dont remember if noob has some f carbon cases , or will this be the first?

 

[sharrkey]

Noob factory is working on the other 3 44mm Roos, Ss, Rg, and dlc coated Ss( ceramic look ) no word of them making FC, I suppose this FC 44mm was a natural progression from the FC V3 Diver that the Zf factory made! Seconds @12 movement was always a problem to source for other makers as the noob had exclusivity on it, thou this doesn't seem to be the case any more! Same supplier I don't know, hopefully a new movement supplier that will give us a more stable movement, as the current seconds @12 is still a crap shot.
