^ Its because your holding a solid gold case. Our reps are plated so the difference is weight is causing you to feel like your holding something else. Happened to me with a AP ROO Gold Themes with sold gold bracelet. It felt quite different - like 1/2 a kilo different.

I know the difference. In weight between gold hen and rep plated ;) I'm talking about the actual construction and feel of the watch itself

Oh ok well my friend has a gen 44mm Novelty Gold and when holding it it felt exactly the same as my rep except slightly heavier not much as its on rubber. That was the same feeling and general consensus around the group which we passed around each trying tell the real and fake. 8ppl at dinner that night and everyone pretty much felt like it felt almost the same.

Like I said above only the full SOLID gold gens I can feel it straight away and because of the heft it does feel of better quality.

Gens have heft. Reps do not.

Rose Gold was updated as well, but a long time ago. You look like you have the updated version.

The only schumi with the dial color close to the gen is the quartz version. It's weird that they could get it right on the Quartz but not the higher end ones.

The strap should match the dial at least.

Looks like they released the Noob Schumachers on Puretime. Same dark dials, in fact the older batch that Jf released before the plates on the movement arrived. Disappointing to say the least, but I'm actually happy since I ordered all 3 new JF ones that all have a lighter dial except for the Blue Schumacher. While the Blue Schumi still has a dark dial on the newest JF it's actually grey now and doesn't have that diarrhea green tint to it anymore. Very happy.

All this waiting and Noob releases this bullshit? They must be out of their mind. What the hell are they smoking?

Wonder if noob will ever make any AP better than j factory at this point.

Even their Rolex releases have had some controversy lately with mis matched parts from older versions

The old Noob APs had better date fonts too. These 'new' ones have the same date wheel as JF uses.

Almost looks like Noob bought out old JF stock and is reselling it. I just got a new JF RG Schumi and it's dial is medium grey like my titanium one - still not as light as it should be, but way better than the very dark grey/greenish dials from the A7750 and the first batch of A3126 versions.
