Hey if anyone intetested in noob parts give me a shout. Once I get my noob dial back. I'll have crown, dial and bezel assembly for sale. I have the rep assembly with me. Just not the dial and crown
Do you think the new insert would fit on the original Noob V2 from 2008? I'm still wearing my original GMTIIC. I PM'd Angus over on RG about buying just the insert, but he isn't sure if it will fit since mine is so old. He says it is a risk and might not work out. Just wondering your thoughts.

Honestly Im not sure. Probably since it's gen construction it won't. Worst case scenario is too glue it.

Just received my QC pics from PT. My concerns are the datewheel and bottom right of SEL. Please advise. Thanks.
And the edges of top+left+right of the date window look rough too...I'll request for another one...
Here is the pics from the second watch. Rehaut engraving is once again off. If you all say accept it, I will. Thanks again.
It is not bad. The rehaut is a very very easy and inexpensive fix if bothers you. But is not always centered also on gen. SEl looks ok, the datewheel It's difficult to tell, but surely not too off like the first one. SEL and dw are two issues difficult to fix, keep in mind. Rehaut is very very easy, for free or few dollars by any watchsmith.
Yes please share real world pics and wristies. Here are a couple of pics of my original Noob V2 insert. I tried to capture the sunlight reflecting on the insert numbers. They sparkle in the right light. Keep in mind this is stock from 2008. Do the new inserts do this?
I just received qc pics of mine. The dw and SEL look good but the rehaut is just slightly off (crown@12 is slightly left of the marker).
Is it worth rejecting the watch for this? I know gens have this too from time to time, but just wondering if it's worth rejecting the watch outright for this or not?
