Yep, what this guy said ^^. I’ve had two Noob 116622 before, and I have an ARF coming in tomorrow, so I can give a little bit of a comparison then.

So I've read all 2000+ posts, considered all opinions on the recent versions, studied as many gen pics as I can find, made my list of upgrades once I get the watch, started collecting those gen parts.

Ordered a blue faced 116622 NOOB from sead1999 , it comes in and for me its BEAUTIFUL as is. I put an Everest strap on and loving it. As has been stated many times it boils down to picking the factory that has the least offensive features TO YOU.

I don't know whether the gen dial has this violet colour note, but this is a really gorgeous watch!

Thanks, that’s the color most pleasing to me.

I will put a gen crystal on cause I love the black hole effect over dw. Plus a gen crown and tube for the smoothness of unscrewing.

Did your ARF arrive? How does it compare to the Noob and which one do you think is the better version?

Yeah thanks mate,

It’s a quite expensive build indeed but it will be also my last super Franken I am doing.
And with this project I will try to go as close as I can get.
So I am thinking about a gen clasp.
So if anyone knows who’s selling one PM me :)

Damn, could have supported a 16622 build with gen bracelet but 116622 gen bracelet is damn rare...

Anyway, your build will be a killer and you can also mount a nice rubber strap

Would have to say Noob.

ARF bracelet quality is phenomenal, but bezel action, crystal, hands and case all better on the Noob. Couldn’t compare dials as I had different colours.

Either way, both good watches.
