just bought this one from Sead also. can't wait for it to come in.

Anyone interested in the bracelet? I will not use it, for I am converting to a Nato Strap right when I get it.

Get some pics of it on the nato- I've always fancied a sub on a decent nato!

I think it would look nice on a leather NATO, cordovan or suede. Not sure.

sorry guys, no pics of flush bezel after all that, i cracked it a the pearl! I'll see if any of the dealers can source me a new one, but i'm considering just rebuying the watch and paying attention to the QC pics.

Wm makes a good ceramic insert? The pearl is intact and one of the nicest features of the watch, so hoping to use it.

Edit - just checked watch material website. No insert for the 116610 liste .

WM pearl is better and its only $10. There's gotta be an insert. MAybe you can ask Sead to get one for ya.

WM pearl is for non-ceramic inserts (green lume, no peg in the bottom) - you can glue em onto a ceramic insert so it sits on top, but the lume is the wrong color.

OP, what is the serial number on this watch? I just bought a sub-c no-date from Sead, and I can't tell if it's a Noob or this new "BP" version.

When I bought it, I had asked for a Noob no-date, but Sead said it was a "new version." My serial is: V261246.


V-serial is noobfactory one. Did you get it with the rehaut aligned or just the previous ultimate?
Can you post pics?

Cheers,
Spirit.

I have the one with the aligned rehaut and centered pearl. I'm wondering how that compares to the BP version, and I also wonder how the rumored "new noob" is going to be...

The rehaut on the latest noobfactory one is the best to date. Its just "per GEN". The closest thing we have got to perfetion so far.
...the Sub-C from BP factory didn't beat that, but it has random serial numbers, which is very nice to see on a rep.

In other hand, I know that if this mimics the random serial, it should be more gen like, but I can't confirm if each watch has different serials. We need owners to confirm that on the fora.

I'm tempted to get one to check it myself and review it against the ultimate noobfactory ones.

Cheers,
Spirit.
