Is the bezel insert (silver paint) better than the sub-c v7? Or is it the same crap under low light?

The Sd4K doesnt suffer from the same dull bezel numbers as the v7 Sub. Its not as bright as gen but definitely not dark like the v7 subs. This is a great out of the box rep without requiring any mods imho. Doesnt have cyclops either so removes the requirement for the black hole effect like on the subs.

Paradise! (SE Qld)
i would recommend you to buy the 2836 more reliable, also we don't have in this case date window centering issues
My God this is a conundrum, I spent ages trying to come up with the right movement and you’ve blown me out of the water, how the hell are we supposed to make the right decision in this Topsy Turvey Rep,world, I thought I did good with the 3135??

The 3135 is the clone version of the gen movement and must be serviced as soon as possible to avoid reliability issues. Once that's taken care of its going to be fine. Also worth noting that the 2824 is a super reliable movement out of the box but does not operate like gen.

Hence the 3135 is considered super rep out of the box.

If you don't care about movement so much then get the 2824.

Mine is at 6 but can only view it from the edge of the plexi not from the front as your photo shows, however I would say a very minor flaw for a rep?.

Thanks mate. Do you also have Noob V2 3135? Strange... yes minor flaw, but in the middle of everything ;)

I read that you can spin the crystal (to align the LEC at 6) using a sticky ball.

Ps. Here is my old noob SD4k v1.5, A3135 (basically a v2 with incorrect fat hour hands)

Wow, looks great!

I do have my doubts but will try, thanks for your advice. Guess, this might rather work for the case back - but xtal seems very strong. Anyway, will give it a chance and report :)

Even at GEN’s the crown is often misaligned

Accept it. As the post above said gens LEC are never perfectly at 6 either. You can hardly see it anyway so this is a non issue.

I think only the A3135 is classed as super-rep (or was it only NWBIG?).

okay, because of the movement i guess.
There are no flaws execpt the color of the bezelmarkings?
Think I gonna pull the trigger on one with A2836

Honestly this is a super rep. Who on earth is going to take off their watch and give it to someone and that person is going to say "hangon your hands turn the wrong way when the crown turns". LOL

The stem height is also not noticeable unless you are a fellow geek on these forums that know the intricate details of the watch. 99.9% wont know and the quality of this piece no1 will second guess it. Its a super rep for sure.
