I own a gen 372 and Noob 372. Despite the A6497 with deco plates, the Noob looks absolutely amazing on the wrist. It is so close to the real thing, except perhaps a very minimal difference in the lume, LP color and the poly crystal; even then it could be because of the series difference; the Noob is based on a P-series while my gen is an R-series. Unless you have them side by side, and provided that you don't flip the watch around, it is virtually impossible to tell it's not a gen.
If you have to have the P3000 "super clone" movement, the one to get is the ZF which sports the latest version with the most visually accurate version of the movement. I don't recommend going that route though, since it is a pain in the rear to work on and parts are not available. My Noob 372 has a power reserve of 58 hours and 40 minutes, and keeps perfect time. The ZF is not as close to gen on the wrist.
Finally, when it comes down to price, the Noob is definitely a no-brainer at half the price...
Thank you so much for your input. I appreciate it !
