Wonderful so last version is Noob v2. 2. Can you post link of a seller of this version ( from intime or puretime ecc ecc), the last Noob version? Is there danger to buy last version then received old version?

There’s no danger now no, these sell very fast and are often on pre order at the factory. you’ll get v2.2

I believe this would be true for the White 116500 Panda because it is more popular, but not necessarily for the Black Dial.
I have reviewed and compared over 30 White dials and about 15 to 20 Black, and the last 3 or 4 Black dials have been the old thicker thicker sub-dials.

Noob may even be digging out some old stock Black dials just to meet demand?

Lucy has the 2.2s

I emailed two separate requests to Lucy because you and many other speak so highly of her work, but I have received no replies in over a week. I guess she is just too busy to even take any new customers.

Keep being persistent and she will respond back. It’ll be worth it I promise. I just received my 2.2 from her and I love it.

Obvious tell? LMFAO. Common man. The picture you posted the lighting is quite obviously in a much brighter lighting environment and the picture above is in a car in the rear seat. Very very different lighting conditions. This is a very very good rep and the color is almost spot on.
I was in my car in the rear seat on my way to the with my sunroof open at 9am.

By the way it's an S-class and I have a driver. Iown several gen watches now, including a gen of this watch in champagne gold variant.

So I doubt anyone will call it out.

Even I have many friends that probably have the Gen version of this watch.

The only "tale tell" sign that something is not right with the noob 116519ln is the weight and the fact that it is missing the easylink 5mm comfort extension link from the clasp. But neither of these things can be noticed while it's on my wrist.

Furthermore I replaced the oysterflex strap with a gen strap just because I could, but I don't think it's necessary. The noob strap looked pretty good.

Even the bezel engravings on my noob 116519ln looked much better than my noob v2.2 panda.

If I could though, I would still go for a gen bezel and crystal. Just because...

Isn't this the same on the ARF clasp?
I'm not sure.

I was thinking about buying an ARF panda for parts.

I wanted the dial and bezel for my noob panda.

And I wanted the clasp for my 116519ln.

I thought the ARF bracelet had the extension link.

Here's my 116500 on a business trip to Hà Nội with me. It's acting as my backup on this trip, so I've got it in a travel pouch.

Hi Everyone, i need your advise on these 2 watches

both are noob but i can't say if they are 2.0 o 2.2
The problem is that pics are taken at different angles and distance so i can't say...
I know indexes are not right and bezel too is not aligned, i've already refused both, but i want to understand if there's a way to check a v.2.2 watch. Sometimes it's difficult to compare to the pics in the first page...
