Wow stunning piece man! :O
If you have some time maybe you can share some more shots of this beauty ;)

Thanks man.
I would do even a side by side comparison once I get my hands on this new CF version.

Here you go with some more pics. It’s still fresh and has some stickers on so please forgive me. I dropped it off todays morning into my bank safe as I’m away for some days so can’t take specific pics right now but will definitely to a side by side thread once I have the CF.

Now that is a beautiful release from CF. Does anybody know if these will be sold with a gold strap option, or do these gold dials traditionally come with a rubber strap? Either way it looks exceptional

I am not a big fan of the gold rolex sport models but this could be the first one in my collection. Just worrying about the durability of the gold colored coating...

Me too, would like to know the depth of the gold (or whatever) plating in microns.

That rehaut doooo :eek:
Still to big & to fat, and the shape orf the “R” is so wrong ever since

Have the feeling CF use the same font from day one. Not sure if this is the case

However,
you see this only in a high res comparison, side by side.
(& I’m pretty sure no one will recognize in real life)

it may sound a little bit harsh, but i think you should be shot.

Something about clean dial print and crisp markers. Also the gold on Cf look amazing! BTF is more cheddy.
Hope it come with oyster bracelet.

Color of YG looks wrong on Noob

Yeah, that (although it's hard to tell just from photos, because lightning conditions can always chance ... even gen ones of the same model on chrono24 look very different from offer to offer).
And there are several other inaccuracies: for example the baguette markers are flat (at CF there are now nicely rounded edges), the "Cosmograph" font is not correct (especially R A P), the white lines of the chrono subdials don't touch the outer ring of the subdials, the red "Daytona" also seems not fully correct and a bit weak in color ... and overall quality seems to not really get the level of CF (maybe that's just the photos)?!

I guess that's not the "real" Noob ... but some "shadow" of what Noob used to be.

On Perfect Clones there also appeared this "NNF" (New Noob Factory) some months / weeks ago ... but it has the same (or even more) issues, maybe an earlier version:

CF stays on TOP!

This “new Noob” needs to prove that their gold is worth .02¢ Before they receive my money. All of my “higher-end” noob watches plating failed extremely fast. Now in comparison, I have gold/rg watches from maybe 3 other factories and zero issues, even swam in some. So new, new noob buyers, be ware.
