Hi All,
I have two issues with Rolex GMT MASTER II NOOB V10 (pepsi):
1) the date most of times switches not straight and the date is observed not fully aligned, but only part of it is observed.
2) today when i used the hourly wheel for correct date set (31 days switch to see the date correct, fully aligned), the hourly wheel it is not “clicking” anymore, but still works. Do not know exactly how it will affect correct time continuing to go on.

How to fix this issues and do you know places where this features could be fixed in Moscow?

thanks in advance!

Well mate, I m sorry to say, but I think the timebomb movement blows of. You have to get a new movement. Sorry mate

Hi Mate, and could you please advise the right solution for this? I should replace it with the same mechanism and will still have the same “risks”. Or there are better option to replace it with similar one but better?

Take the SA3186 movement. There are threads in this forum. Just search for SA 3186 or just for 3186 movement.

Vasillis Noob v10 is still the best GMT case out there (my opinion). Best gen like brushing on lugs and best rehaut polish and the bracelet SELs are amazing. Everything inside the watch is junk though. The fix that you want depends on your budget. If you want the best long term solution (reliability) - get a VR3185 movement and corresponding hands and send it to a Modder. That case needs a custom movement holder to fit the VR movement. Your Noob dial will also need to be modded to fit movement.

If you want a “quick and dirty” fix, get the CHS timebomb movement fixed. I don’t recommend because that movement is just not worth it, lots of issues.

Swap CHS to ICHS

Or sell it broken. The case set and insert will sell easily, maybe $150 off original price if in great shape.

The Pepsi insert, V10 case and Jubilee bracelet are what seals the OP's deal potential.

So true!! Many will take the Pepsi Insert+Bezel if OP decides to sell ;)

Hmm maybe I keep it and make a build out of it with a vr3185, @srhouque my buddy, I know you took the v10 case for your Batman did you used an adapter ring to fit the vr3185 btw ?

Hey Mate - Keep the v10 case and build a Pepsi. Yes, you need a custom holder for the V#3185 in Noob case.

Let’s do it, but the problem with the Pepsi is that I didn’t found a good insert, it’s easier on the Batman.

The Noob 126710 Pepsi insert is very good.

I have the noob v10 pepsi insert and I can say it’s not good, noob lost there quality over years, I also think the noob case is not the best quality you can get (it’s sharp like a knife, it feels not gen like). I know the brushing looks nice on the case, but that’s it, it feels not like the real deal.

A friend of me has got a brand new Pepsi 3 weeks ago, I really can tell you it’s far away in real light from a noob insert and the noob quality at all. Btw the noobs are completely overpriced.

Hi mate, and could you please specify is the VR3185=ICHS movement and is is better than 3186? I’m from Russia, Sochi city so I thing we do not have modders in town who could switch the mechanism. Are there someone in forum trusted who can do this modding? I could send it via DHL on something to get this work done. And also where can I get the parts for VR3186?
thanks in advance!

The VR3185 is a superclone movment means it is a CHS for sure, sams as the SH3186 in ARF and the SA3186 in GMF, all other noob A series movements like A3186 and A3285 are the Basic 2836 modified to CHS, but these are no real clone movements, they also called the timebomb movement.

Best CHS GMT movements on market:
  1. VRF3185
  2. SH3186
  3. SA3186 (too new if real reliable)
Rest CHS movements are junk

PS: of you want to swap a VRF3185 into the noob you will need to make a custom movment holder (ring), you will need a new stem (crown) and new hands that fits cal3186, your noob hands will not fit to this movement.

Thanks a lot Nooleex!
few more questions, I need to get the GMT watch to get the mechanism, crown (stem) and hands? And also should build a custom movement holder (ring)? Are there options to order this elements from e-bay for example? And also on what criteria I can guess that the watchmaster would be capable of setting all together? Sorry for such a stupid question, but may be there is an answer.

p.s.: maybe someone trusted on forum can handle with these for renumeration of course?
