That 'blue' dial is far too purple for my liking. Good to see Noob still does the datewindow better than the gen LOL

Would appreciate some expert input KJ2020 hehe

These actually look pretty good. They are definitely different from the last recent QC posted. Most notably the GMT wheel has been updated with numerals that follow the curve of the wheel. And the datewheel has been changed to look closer to the gen. The gen does have a slightly larger mag level cyclops (or larger font DW, not sure which), and a narrower date window than most other Rolex models. Especially noticeable given the large SKY-D dial. This rep date mag will take a little getting used to, but people have commented that the gen DW font looked fake due to its size.

Here is s gen, note the GMT wheel 22 -24 and the mentioned elements of the DW and date window.

Based on the finishing and overall look do you believe this is a true “noob factory” v2 release or simply another factory which happens to have improved in certain areas while making an inferior dial to the noob gen 1? I fear the question of whether the “feel” holds up to the quality to be expected of noob can only be answered once one of us bites the bullet and orders one. In any case, thank you for your contribution as always, KJ.

Really hard to say bro. I wouldn't say these new dials are inferior, in fact the spacing between the crown, ROLEX, and the triangle is better. It's just the blue color that hasn't been presented well in one lighting environment. However, if it photographs poorly once it will do it again in a similar setting. I've had some blue dials that tend toward purple in certain light and it's not pretty.

Check out these two pics of the same watch

New dial on left - Crown is better and so is spacing

I would definitely grab one of these in black or white if they aren't at a highway robbery price. I'd still like to have a YG two tone black dial on jubilee if they ever come out. Whether they are actually from a re-emerging Noob is anyone's guess. They look like decent quality to me. I still have 2 of the old Reg $158 Skydwellers and I was fine with their quality. Not VSF by any stretch but not DHGate shitters either.

The only really potentially good one that's being discussed here recently isn't available from any TD's yet that we know of. Welcome to the waiting game.

If you don't want to wait, you can pick up a JWF which is a not too distant second choice to the Noob V1, the one you linked at Jtimewatch that hasn't been available since before the raids.

Thank you very much Kj2020!

Now I’m going to search the differences between jwf and noob….
I don’t know if the noob will produce watches anymore….
but maybe also clean factory could release a skydweller….

This is a great review between gen and noob:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...-22-000-vs-398

but only consider the steel…. I didn’t thought that a gen steel was so different from the rep….
the gen steel seems more precious, very better look than the rep that seems too much “white”
….what do you think about?

Anyway It is very pity that no more very good rep of skydweller are made at the moment….

Your perception may have been influenced by the gen WG bezel. It has a different color tone than steel.

904 vs 316 steel on a rep is not noticeable and should never be a reason to choose one rep over another. I never pay extra for 904 unless there is no choice.

Patek Philippe gens use 316. 904 is a marketing gimmick for Rolex, and now for China too. Just a way to gouge us for more money.

I don't need my reps to look any better than this Noob Skydweller

What steel do you think this is?

Check out how many of us were scammed by factories claiming they used 904 steel. It wouldn't have happened if there was a visible difference.

No doubt about 904 vs 316 steel on a rep is not noticeable! …on rep 316 and 904 maybe the same!
I don’t know what is the WG bezel…. But on the photos the gen steel looks better, also the bracalet….

anyway at the moment the only choice is wait aanother good rep of this watch….
Is there some comparison between jwf and noob of this watch?
