New Release: Noob Skydweller

[Stuvetjee]

Just noticed this new release by noob of the Sky Dweller. According to the description you can change the month indicator with the bezel which is a nifty feature, unfortunately not gen in any means... i like it from first glance, dwo seems thin.

Interesting release, I'll probably grab one to check it out. The adjustable month indicator is a nice plus. The date window is wider than previous models which is good. It's thick as hell at 15mm, that's as much as a 7750 Daytona and this ones 42mm so it's going to be a tank. The clasp logo looks like a DHGater, wtf.

Gen is at 14.10mm thick, so im suspecting its the little ''rim/trim'' you see at the back where the caseback meets. All that for the ugly deco i believe...

I don’t know 9f I’d just to buy 9ne but I’d like to see how this turns out.

Rehault is bad. I'm wondering how they did the bezel month change mechanism and how did they "waterproofed" it

 

[KJ2020]

I emailed Ryan to confirm the GMT wheel is functional. It should be at this price point but there were previous models where that wheel was fixed. If that feature works I'll order one.

There will surely be other color dials and TT FG RG to follow. This could be another major breakout release from Noob, like the SA4130. Despite some minor flaws.

This watch is, even with my basicbitch knowledge, a bit to complex to do a very good rep. That being said it doesnt look half bad if you got the crave for one.

This is a step in the right direction, I don't think comparing it to the SA4130 is really the way to go, the SA4130 is just a perfect 1 to 1 movement clone.

I think this is noob's way to ask its client-base if the sky dweller is something we want, developing a clone movement of this would be ground breaking and I would snatch it immediatly.

Bro Sky is as much wanted as Daytona, at least blue dial is. I dont think they have to ask about it

Maybe they want to milk out their test builds before releasing the full-on clone !!

 

[tbtheone1]

the question is, can you take the deco plate out and put a thinner caseback on to fix the size? As you can with the daytona? Someone drop some knowledge on me

It won't ever get any better than this. It took them 8 years since Rolex released the model to get the GMT wheel and the month indicator functioning, proper size hands, and a respectable datewheel. Rep factories are never going to attempt to replicate the 9001 any more fully - the ability of the calendar wheel to double flip a date in a 30 day month, the automatic month indicator change, the Ring Command bezel are all beyond the scope of a rep factory's capability to implement. What Noob has done here is a generational leap ahead of previous offerings and won't be equalled or surpassed any time soon, if ever.

I get it that the command ring is just on another level of complication, but also know that when the replicated the daytona they spent millions, maybe they can do it again? who knows 5 years from now il be waiting

They would be a lot more likely to try the YM II first which also has the Ring Command bezel with fewer complications. But I'm not holding my breath, this release checks a lot of boxes.

Been waiting for a decent enough version of this since it’s release, if the GMT works I’m in

would love this clarity too

It can be done with recent 3D scanning and modeling. The only issue is compiling the parts into a single movement which increase the cost and time resulting on major extra $$$.

I was really hoping for a white dial Skydweller! Hopefully Noob has this in the works along with other versions!
