Hope i did not made a wrong choice again?
I'm totally newbie, but read a lot in here (btw thanks a lot Alex7575 for your awesome work, it provides me with a way to learn better than I would have collect by myself in years, many thanks for that !!!).
And finally choose to buy, as a very first rep, a 111N from Noob-Factory.
So I guess it is indeed a very good choice, don't doubt on it.
However 2 versions do exist, one with 2497-2 asian mvt, and the other with 2497-1 swiss mvt.
The asian one is totally out of stock right now, so I decided to go to the swiss one, which is very expensive (+170$ additionaly to normal price), and which has I guess 2 drawbacks:
- low-beat mvt (not really a drawback btw: simply not the same as the gen),
- no incabloc at all.
In my opinion (which is, one time again, the opinion of a newbie so I am not sure to be right), I guess the asian version is a better deal than the swiss one. Because you'll get a high-beat version, very close to the gen one, and 170$ less expensive. So with a little bit of money, you can send it to a modder, to make it being highly close to gen watch (inclabloc bettering, ...etc...).
On the other hand the Swiss-mvt one is probably more reliable, but basically low-beat. So to make the watch being close to gen watch, this is probably the whole mvt you'll have to change to go up to a high-beat version...
So if you went to the asian version one, you surely make a very great deal. If like me you went to the swiss version one, I guess the deal is less valuable, while you'll get a very pretty watch you won't be disappointed by. At least, that's what I am expecting... should receive it in few weeks...
Cheers,
Steve
