Good review... IMHO JF is the closest to gen. But I guess I am the only one here...

Surprisingly the OEM strap does not fit as well as on Noob case. I'd get the Noob version over j12 with two exceptions, all day long.

Good choice. The 2014 Safari is a better one than the 2014 Navy, Noob or JF.

Anyway, I'm not gonna argue again why Noob is better for 2014 Safari and Black Theme. Already exhausted my points.

I have a couple of questions:
Are we sure the Noob and J12 dials are the same colour? J12 always looks darker to me in pics. Same with gen. Anyone seen side-by-side?
Where do you guys get AR cyclopses?

I received one of these over the weekend. The color contrast and details are sublime...strap a bit rubbish but I will keep it as is for now.

Im about to pull the trigger on a Noob Black Theme 2014 with SS bracelet since these are selling for a great discounted price (368$) compared to JF selling at (698$) nearly twice as much ! Juste before buying it anything i should be aware of apart that the 7750 is a ticking time bomb. The price difference is big so I was guessing that the Noob would be way worse but when comparing the specs they look alike

The question I have is: is this review still true despite the changes and updates from the noob and j12 factory.

I want to get a safari and am contemplating the best version from today's current version.

Great review btw

Up! With the 3126 the review is still accurate? Just doing the follow up of cy0811

The cown is still inline or they corrected this flaw?

JF has updated the pushers and crown to be more correct. Although the pusher guard shape is still off.
But I don't think Noob version is still available, so the only option is JF now.

I know the thread is old 1+ year but I wanted to give credit to OP for a nice review + some members added interesting informations over the debate which is better noob/jf?! In the end it's always the question which flaw is less bothering you personally.

I have a Noob 2014 Safari, love it. Now I am buying a Navy from JF (apparently). The 1st one has been working perfectly for 2+ yrs. No issues whatsoever and the only thing what has been bothering me is the blurry cyclop. Everything else is really well done imo.
