AP Tour Auto 2012 Project- InTimeWatches X Noob Factory

Anyone notice the grade of movements in these watches? 
try manually winding it. My movement sounds like its rotor is touching something inside. I have 6 other ROOs and i know its not the same.

Mine winds fine but I do try not to wind if power reserve is gone, I prefer to wear on wrist till it kick starts and set the time after! I have noticed that the seconds@ 12 is jumpy thou
It's easy enough to open up and check that the rotor is securely attached

Thanks Sharkey, i always tighten all the screws in all my reps, rotor is secure too. I just noticed the overall quality is noticeably lower than others. Noob factory is cutting back i guess.
Ryan pls remove me from the list.. moving to another state is expensive! :-$

Mine should be coming in today. I can't wait. DHL is so freaking fast that it's gonna spoil me when I order EMS from any other TD lol. It shipped out Saturday and it's gonna be here Wednesday.

Got mine today. Before I evaluate any rep, I always switch out the strap, and clean the watch. Then I put it under loupe.
Those who missed out on this LE are going to kick themselves, as it is the best AP rep I have ever seen.
Positives:
1) crisp black/white seconds dial
2) correct darker navy colour for blue sub-dials for second and 30 minute totaliser (as opposed to Navy Themes)
3) beautiful dial with silver outlines for Arabic numerals, again correct tint navy blue.
4) beautiful tach ring, with matching white background to dial and crisp indice print
5) well-cut case screws, with no sign of stress at factory
6) hands beautifully made and set
7) well-etched case back
8) smoothest sec@12 movement I have ever seen, no seconds stutter, smooth, easy winding, good reserve <== this is important, gents
9) beautiful DW black surround
10) a crystal that seems to be clearer than most any other ROO.
Only thing I can say is negative:
1) pusher/crown (although better than Navy Themes) could be a tad darker (but can be improved with dying, so no sweat).
IN CONCLUSION: RYAN + NOOB = TOTAL SUCCESS
Let's make Ryan chief design supervisor at Noob, then we will have better AP reps.
Thank you for this rep, it went beyond my expectations by a very long distance

Slaughterer you check the Watch under an Loupe
But don´t check it under an Microscope then you´ll see the Flaws
But that´s not a fault of Ryan that is the prob on Factorys.
So i must say all your Points are so far right, but when you check it under Microscope you will notice many many things.
If some People interest i can make some Shoots
But all in all the Watch is really Perfect! But an good Cleaning is important! Then the Watch looks minimum 20% better...
The Crystal is clear but dirty can see it if you Build it out.
The Bezel Screws are same as ever, not at the right hight.
But easy to Fix...
The Tachy Ring was dirty too... After Cleaning it looks really Great... The Dial is one of the best Ceramic Paint i have ever seen in rep AP
The Printing is another thing...
Strange is that the Painting on Dial was made on the Complete Dial.
So the Second Dials are Printed a little to far the Paint is on the Dial too...
But with the Naked Eye you can´t see that
So i must say Thumbs UP !!! This is the best AP ROO rep i have ever seen

Well, China is a having a problem with air pollution, so maybe that dirtied hop some samples--I noticed only one piece of dirt under loupe (because I like to see what is there). My bezel screws are perfectly and evenly sunk. I am in a phase of ecstatic exuberance with this rep.
I'm really looking forward to getting mine. Still looking for a source to get a gen strap. If anyone has a contact please PM me.
agreed! Mine arrived today.. I love it! I'm up to 7 ROO's.
It's become an obsession

Merry Christmas to everyone, The Tour auto 2012 is available for sale to other dealer now , but don't worry , that's my stock because some people screwed up my CC processor, Paypal and many buyers can't pay for that. So I want to let more buyer have chance to buy the watch.
Sorry about the payment method issue :blue:
i have tried to make the watch to be perfect as possible, so buy it with confidence
