Noob 116610 V10S
- Thread starter XLR8R
- Start date
Ok watching more of the video the reviewer made a great point of why many factories have been releasing subs. The reason is the parts factory start doing this open source thing so that it’s really easy to put together a sub just by outsourcing the parts. And he thinks that this v10s is not made by the real noob factory.

None of the factories (Like Noob, ARF, ZZF) actually make the watch (this is teh case for all watch models). They design and then outsource parts manufacturing to 3rd party suppliers. Its doesn't make any commercial sense for Noob to make them because there are others who can make really good dials, bracelet or case or pins etc who have better economies of scale and expertise/tooling to manufacture. Noob/ARF gets these parts from such supplier and assembles the final product (watch). Such practices have been in effect for a while and this is one of the main reasons why reps are cheap because of the factoryline approach and machine produced parts. The reason as to why ARF makes excellent dials or bracelets or Noob makes the awesome 4130 movement is because they have exclusive relationship with skilled suppliers and not necessarily because they make it themselves.
Coming back to the video, I can't understand the guy at all but whenever he is holding 2 watches side-by-side, I can't seem to tell much differences (for both LN and LV Hulk).
Edit: Went back and watched the 2nd video link again. The bracelet clasp seems to have improved (assuming the left side watch is the newer one
). The coronet is a bit wider and the amount of coronet bottom protruding out now is more gen like. Pearl color is pretty white as well.

First of all thanks for tagging me with real Rolex experts. Well, it seems to me that giant woke up finally, after a long nap. And ive seen some major upgrades. Dial looks much better imo, case is best so far (smoke will correct me if im wrong), rehaut is improved, crystal looks much better, they made black whole finally although im not sure its correct 2.5x mag.
Hands also looks better, at least to my eye. Bracelet finish as well. Dont know which movement is in the house. Oh and Hulk dial looks excellent to me with new round hour marker. All in all I think this is a Noob comeback when it comes to Sub. My 1.5 cents

LN insert have good engravings, with a Spongebob mod is perfect. But in all the rest the sub Noob loses all comparison with competitors. The perfect sub LN and LV for me today (excluding gen parts) is:
Noob case + ZZF dial and insert + ARF bezel and bracelet. Movement wich one you prefere ;-) it is inside the watch

Agree with you, but movement “must” be VR3135. There is no comparison here
Also, if you are keeping Noob case, I would keep Noob SEL.
Thank you for tagging me, but the other guys you mentioned with tags are all more knowledgeable than me and it is a courtesy for me to refrain from repeating what they have told you.

Did I say noob makes the parts? I said the parts factory starts parts to public so it’s very easy for a party to put together a sub. And the price of the so called v10s is significantly lower than the v10. Being a native Chinese I know what this reviewer is talking about. I’m just the translator, no opinions.
