New Sub up on Toros - Noob V2?
- Thread starter cubicle_monkey
- Start date
Guys my sub is excellent to my eyes....
Quality and feel is Gen like.
The lume is strong. i would say it borders Superlume.
Not so strong and lasting like the Explorer II from Noob though..
The metal and the bracelet are very nice, i dont bother the SEL gap..
It has the same feel with the Noob Explorer II again..
When you touch it, it feels so smooth, like its almost coated, with some kind of soft material..
Also, as mentioned, by another member, the bracelet and clasp, are very enduring.
They don't get easily, desk or wear scratches.
The only drawback FOR ME, is the bad magnification len. It's too low and left.
And finally the bezel is turning quite easily (this happens in Gen also i think)...
Its really a pitty to make such a nice piece and mess it up on the cyclops.
If there was a way to fix the cyclops, i would be very happy.

If they are smart they just release a separate improved insert. Then everybody can buy this 2nd batch version with incorrect insert, and replace it afterwards. Everybody is happy and they earn $25 dollars extra per watch.
At least with my 1st batch V2 Hulk: Not true, in real world. In real world comparison the font in the recent inserts are clearly a hair too thin, rest problems aside.
Mine just got in, I would say it is very GEN like. The Date wheel only slightly left in person (see last picture), and the bracelet is fantastic.
So about the new bezel insert from the noob factory.. somes members were saying that the insert is done, that angus have it but is waiting on current batch to sell..
Well IT IS NOT TRUE!! here exactly what angus emailed me about that (and i know him very well for years)
i quote: " I don't have a sample just yet but i heard the maker is working on a new insert but I dont know when they will release that bezel, hopefully ASAP
The new insert won't be sold as a part for months but only with the watch now
"
I was really curious to see that new insert, and order one, but it seems like we won't be able to just order the insert, but the all watch, not sure if i gonna keep mine like it is (installing gen crystal, BP hands, and hour markers) or just order the updated one depends on how good the insert is.. But i am very disapointed, i though that this insert would come soon, but apparently no, and no way to just order it, what other solution we have for this insert problem???

QC pics on 9th of august, watch arrived yesterday on 19th, after triangle without customs problems via UK. I am very pleased with Ryan - it was my first order from a TD.
The watch... is STUNNING!
Before, i had the Noob Sub "Ultimate" and loved it very much. Now the V2 is a completely different world. The quality in my eyes got even better. The watch looks and feels just awesome, i am very happy.
The date is very slightly left, but i can live with that. Next to do, is to waterproof it properly and get it ready for the ocean. I would like to retry the pPPP mod again, but since now i didn't find the right color shade for the platinum paint, as here in Germany you just can get Model Master enamels (wich also are from Testors - but in my eyes are not the same shades).
All in all - i'm a happy guy!

Can't take out the watch since arrived in the afternoon. The bracelet is quite comfy.
The Lume just OK, not as good as Exp II.

I done handful of watch regulation, this movement came with Noob does not seems solid and it built rough. I feel it is fragile too.
My noob v2 from ryan from the first batch. Looking at the pics my numbers on the bezel dont seem as deep as yours.
His is definitely the second batch cause the DWO is aligned left. The engravings do look deeper than my first batch as well
It's hard to tell such a minor difference I depth from a picture. The lighting and angle of the lense could effect your depth perception or create an optical illusion.
I do have a question. I thought the exp2 and sub-c had the same.lume on the gens. If that's the case, why am I hearing that the lume on the sub-c is not as good as the noob exp2. Shouldn't it be the same formulation? Maybe they are using a different dial maker, but that would suck!

Not sure but it is definitely different... It's as bright when fully charged but it takes a lot more to charge it and it doesn't last as long. More green than the explorer as well
