Just received information, that my delivery of V2 116600 got confiscated by customs ( hope there is still one in stock (V2)
Oh no! What country you from and what shipping method did you use (dhl/ems etc)?

Both are basically matte
Remember that gen has different batch variations and my one is a few years old....so UV exposure will also have an effect on matte/gloss balance.
It’s very hard to compare such dynamic dials using pictures....which is what I keep telling people on the JF15400 thread [emoji6]

AFAIK there was a V7 which had recessed SEL like a Submariner but after that batch sold out, they went back to the correct SEL height as the V2. This was a quiet fix from Noob drowned in the noise of the ARF 126600 with its 904L goodiness and over-all higher quality; super-rep level replication in the very first attempt.

Can't say, I haven't seen a new SD4K on here in a LONG time. Can you link me to the TD where you saw it?So the latest V8 is practically the same as the v2?

This is the one i found on puretime.
The rep pearl is quite different but I don’t find it ugly.
I’ve tried the sharpie paint mod but it makes your watch look home-made. Lol.
Sponge-bob mod looks very good indeed. I’ll give it a go on the Noob SD4k.
Crystal:
Looks basically the same. Clarity is comparable. The gen crystal has a slightly more blingy raised edge.

Bezel:
It’s hard to compare bezel teeth because my gen has been polished and looks MUCH shinier.
Hands:
Gen are slightly more 3D and perfect looking but rep are very good indeed.

Conclusion:
The noob SD4k 116600v2, A3135 (not ETA version) is definitely a SUPER-REP IMO. Just stop reading and get one! With a sponge-Bob insert mod, the rep is just as good as gen. I will keep the gen since it’s a short lived/discontinued model and I’m sure it’ll be worth more in years to come. For day to day wear, I’m happy with the rep.
Hope this quick comparison has been useful.

The end link shape and recess is shockingly incorrect. Avoid buying this version.
just rehashing an old post...is this version still avail and is this it?
