Right, but he has contacted two dealers who claim to have access to a noob v4 005. I was never even aware of a v3.

Perhaps it's just been released? I am skeptical as you are

With the well-established fact that the V4 case was never even proven to be stable on the PAM111 which was its release model, I seriously doubt that claim. However, it is also possible that the dealers are just forwarding what the current Noob factory management is telling them, because they know V4 is somewhat popular even in its unstable release.

Yeah. I'm just curious what they are actually selling, despite what they claim it is. I still think an HF V2 is a good deal at $200

I bought a noob 111 V3 a few years ago and it is still my best looking watches by far, better looking than all of my gen watches (1k-4k price range)

I had the gen and the rep. No visible difference, even the weight by holding them in my hands (not on a scale of course) was spot on!

Thanks!
I just sent funds for a New York Boutique Edition. I still plan on getting a Noob 005 in the future.

622 is so underrated. It is 47mm however but the case is slim and does not look huge. Its cheap enough and no need to mod it.

No mention of the VSF 312?

Agreed. It's very nice and feels great on the wrist. I still think an closed case back is closer to a gen. 243 etc !

Well a closed caseback will always reduce the number of possible detectable flaws by 1, no matter how good it looks because a movement has so many points of comparison, like the Y-incabloc, the Cote de Geneves finish, the number and size of jewels, the finishing of on the teeth on the gear, and others. Of course, the caseback also has a number of features that can be done incorrectly but the factories have demonstrated that they can do that part already very well. :)

005 or 111 out of the box.
Noob 243 is the best IMO but you need to quiet the rotor.

Good for you. From my experience, 7750 is loud.
Keep that watch!

Would you say that the Noob 243 is the most gen like out of all the Submersible reps currently on the market ?

005 is the way to go IMO. I have a 111 and HAD a 005 ... should have dumped the 005 over 111z

There are a few submersible super reps, but in my opinion, Noob 243 is tops.
Love the chunky 1950 SS heavy Case, it "feels" more gen than the others I had previously owned.
