these look great but the movement ruins it for me. sadly I'll pass until there's an "s" version :p

I know its been discussed but there is some nice sunburst coming from the blue and even the black dial. Photo via a non TD:

I'd say hopes are high for updated versions to come as the V1 is damn solid compared to what we've been subject to choose from when dealing with SD's.

Noob will not upgrade this movement for several years if ever. It's stable, reliable, inexpensive, and is perfectly configured to perform the functions needed by the Sky-D model. A high beat version would necessitate redesigning a custom ETA clone since the DG high beats have such a poor track record. This model will sell well to the target Chinese market and Noob will milk it indefinitely. Same as they do with the 2824 CHS timebomb when the other factories have moved on. There's too much profit in it for them to have any incentive to change.

It's not ARF. It's Noob if it doesn't tend to purple in harsh light, otherwise it's BP. ARF blue DJ dials are much different shade, having some turquoise hue to them and much closer to gen color.

This is a Noob

Yes indeed


Yes it’s almost perfect.. Only thing that annoys me of the sky dweller is that it lacks the flip lock clasp.. I can’t understand why it didn’t provide with it.

On the other side if you want to see it as a dressier piece it would deserve a jubilee but the 22mm mades impossible to fit any..

That does look great bro. And guess what - we may be in luck. We need verification from someone who has one in hand KSwatches but the previous versions that I have used 21mm bracelets. This makes a lot of sense really, that way nobody has to make a special 22mm bracelet. Noob, the worst of all price gouging cheapskate factories would be all in to take advantage of this shortcut. Woohoo! Let's hope they disappoint us again, this time to our advantage.

It is quite possible that it is a Noob, problem is that I have too many watches and never note which factory they come from, however it is a nice one ......
