That Noob looks nice KJ2020 share when get yours ..Hows the Blue insert compare to gen? Plan on any mod to it..

Only other pics I have

Just noticed that the bracelet is 904L steel. Going back and checking TS and Perfect Clones listings, TS say this is a new BP model with 14K gold wrapped bracelet and 904L steel, whereas Perfect Clones say it is 316L steel with 18K gold wrapped.

I have asked for the 18K wrapped bracelet, so if it has 904L stickers on it I will know that it is the possible GMF/BP bracelet.

How much is the bracelet?

It was $439 delivered.

Aston .. This watch showing is NOOB ?

Which watch are you referring to? There is a Noob posted and there is a "BP" posted, which looks identical to the GMF. The BP/GMF posted is the one with the 904L stickers on it.

Just rejected QC on my first Noob. I'm OK with the way Noob "wrapped" a sliver of gold on the SEL sides. I believe I can touch that up to blend in acceptably. Hassle, yeah but pretty minor in the big picture scheme of things. I rejected this watch for pearl not centered and SEL gaps, especially the one at lower right. You can see the springbar in the gap. Looking at the bottom of the bracelet, there is NO ROOM to move that SEL over at all. At least the Noob rehaut letters aren't etched all over the place willy nilly. I can make this one work if I can get a decent one.

KJ2020 I wouldve excepted that watch...learning slot here hows the gold color compares to BP or VRF?

 

[KJ2020]

Gold color is a little lighter than gen and about the same as BP and ARF. it's more YG than the OG VRF. It works for me, mine will never be in proximity to a gen.

I'm probably harder than others on QC but this is one watch I don't want sloppy flaws on.

I heard a lot of good things about BP two tone wrapped bracelet.

Where I can order it? Which TD would sell bracelet only and around how much?

Thanks in advance.

Any TD can source a bracelet only for you.

The PC listing is old (just like for the watch) so I suspect you will see the 904L version. TS Watch has more updated info I think.

I think I might be rejecting it and asking for a refund then if it is the 904L version with the 14k gold, as the bracelet on my ARF is already 904L and has gold side midlinks and SEL's. Not going to spend all that money on something that could be the cheaper GMF bracelet.

Agree, that was my thinking when the "wrapped" version watch I was shown looked identical to its $500 cheaper sibling. You really lucked out getting an ARF like that, I've not seen another one.

Just got an email from my TD to say they have got the bracelet and will send me pics of it tomorrow. Hoping it doesn't have the 904L stickers on it and is the thick 18k wrapped version.

A few people have asked for comparison pics of the gold from the BP Wrapped vs VRF Wrapped so I figured I’d post in this thread since it’s pretty active in discussing differences in the gold color.

A few notes:

-Comparison is taken from the spare links of my BP Wrapped DD40 which is the same Wrapped gold used if you ordered any BP Wrapped sub. The other is a link from my newly acquired VRF 116613 sub.

-Pics were taken under direct light and in shadow for comparison.

-No filters or touch ups were used.


Now I will let the pics speak for themselves enjoy

Guess is safe to say most if not all of us want the gold tone to be as close to the gen TT. Looking at the comparison is the VRF that more orange gold in real life or is the picture that much more saturated than it really is? I'm trying to build a nice one, possible gen xtal, dial, dw , maybe spongebob insert. Wonder how much that's gonna cost me?

 

[Zenrolex]

Which one you like better Versaceboy54 ? Maybe you can post pics of both those watches

 

[Pelagic]

Check this out not so solid midlink... This is a gen 18k midlink.
