New Sub up on Toros - Noob V2?

[Capt. Obvious]

Yeah I'm not really bothered with the movement. I don't think ppl are gonna want to open my watch.
But I still don't like those hour markers, they're a deal breaker.
I think a Hybrid version like BMW's is still best...
... One day, when he decides to sell it to me...

Yeah it does, but if you buy a V1 now, it'll most likely have a 2836, due to an "alleged" shortage of 3135 decorated movements.
To be honest, its near as damn the same thing, and for $80 less, I'd take one.

To be further honest, do you really want them taking your perfectly serviceable 2836 and stamping and painting it to make it look really nothing like a 3135 anyway? On a closed case back watch? For 80$ more?


It can't make it perform better, but I can see a million ways it could make it perform worse.

 

[Capt. Obvious]

Agree

Thats my point mate, I'd be far happier with a 2836 and $80 to spend on something else.

Wishful thinking never hurt any1. but alas i think this dream of yours will remain just that .. a dream.

Well I ordered a V1 yesterday from Sora, and he has confirmed that i will be getting this watch.

I guess it will be here next week, so i'll upload some photo's on arrival.

Hour hands look a lot better, which is a shame as I also ordered some BP hands (also for AlFru and Capt.Ovious), anyway i'll wait and see.

So what are we calling this V1.5 ???

Interesting Description :-

Noob factory is the Best !!Another the Ultimate supereme rolex, V2 316F version,updated to blue superlume!! Used the genuine watch as sample !!! The pearl is the same size and level as the genuine,the lume dot size and the circle steel of the dot is closed to the genuine !! double AR'd cyclops ,the same as the genuine AR!!. External Dimension is 1 : 1 against the Genuine... All Parts are interchangeable with Genuine except the hands.

Seems to confirm it's V2, but perhaps not such a massive leap forward.

Ryan had actually announced at the weekend about the C and LV both now being available with the 2836 at the reduced price. Wonder if he realises its got new handies!!! lol

proto dial = 300m
v2 noob dial =300m

Gen :-

V2 :-

V1 :-

That's a pretty major tell, and quite a step back.

 

[Aldo69]

Am sure live1 mentioned about there being a couple of different gen dial configs?
Av actually lost track now with whats right or what it should have hahaha

 

[live1]

yes correct there are 2 gen ceramic dials these two are both correct infact lol,the v2 dial is cool.

My V1 proto as it is right now (minute hand wound out the way)

Looks like a step back on the V2 compared to gen pics on the Rolex website.
How fcuking hard can it be?!?!
Am sure they do it on purpose!

 

[Aldo69]

V2 hour markers are even worse than V1 Dukes ;-(

hmm it says steel of the lume dot aka marker surrounds are updated ?bad pic maybe ?

 

[Aldo69]

C'mon, even you can see the rings are HOOOGE lol

 

[live1]

i can i was being sarcastic lol

 

[Dukes]

Hmm, like many things i guess we're being too picky.

It looks like the hour markers and low shine bezel are the biggest tells. Pearl and hour hand seem ok.

What are our best options for correcting these ? Gen is out, as dial will cost >$500 and Bezel is even more. What about putting the markers off a standard BP or Noob anyone know if that has been done ?
