Just received QC pics of Sub 16610 from Trevor - Suggestions?

[Quest100]

Guys....no one picked up that this is not a NOOB sub ???? WTF ...OP, tell him to get you a noob sub if you want that. this is not a NOOB

I was just going by what Trevor said on his website "Made From Noob Factory"

Ok, so I'm new when it comes to Sub replicas. I have been wanting to pick one up but wasn't really excited about the $500-$800 price tag for some of the REALLY nice reps like BK's and TC's. I decided to start off with the noob factory version from Trevor with the Asian ETA 2836 clone movement. He just now sent me the QC pics and I was wondering if any of the experts here could critique them for me and let me know if I should give him the go ahead to send it. Any help/comments/suggestions would be great! You can increase the size of the pictures by clicking on them. Thanks!

I would reject it. It has the wrong green sticker on the case back!!! 116610!!!!!

:hehehe:

a sub is a sub, you picked a noob sub for like 148 or whatever it was last I checked, this is not that watch. Wrong dial, date window in eta position, overly magnified Cyclops, decent watch but not a noob sub.

Based on the OP's initial post/question I don't think there would be a massive issue if this isn't a noob sub. It looks decent quality.

Looks like the same crystal from the new BP's. if it is a BP maybe it even had the new improved pearl from the new seadweller

I was told by the dealer that this is the new set noob factory sub. I guess there have been some recent changes?

 

[rsh]

no that is a lie, this sub has been around forever. It is not the first time a little white lie is told to a noob to move stock. By the way, I think the BP factory DOES make a sub, if I am not mistaken Mary at watch international sells it is a 42PO sub.....it is better than this and I think probably better than a noob sub.

The crystal does look like it has AR on the cyclops. Bit of a mystery what the source of this is.

The AR made me think BP right away.

I actually quite like it. Nice tidy lug fitment, great rehaut.. Like you said, unless you want to spend $500+ for TC, this definitely fits the bill.

No rehaut engraving? Nice!

Yeah it does look good. Is that AR on the cyclops? Certainly looks like it. I like it.

i just hope it doesn't have that square date like the saed 16613's

Can't be bothered to read every page, but I do hope you have given Trevor the green light on this sub as it looks great, nothing wrong with it whatsoever.
