Indeed bro. This one is very nice, but I can't handle the yellow strap. With a black strap this one kills.

I think if you are desperate, is possible to buy this dial or even the watch and swap it with a noob DiW right? You might need to trim the dial like the ARF dial?Indeed bro. This one is very nice, but I can't handle the yellow strap. With a black strap this one kills.

And it’s 15mm instead of 12.5mm (Noob).

Yep, this one would have to come home too if Noob made it like the others, with SA4130 and slim. Or like you said, find a good existing Noob host and mix and match parts.
I think the more I look at it.. I don't like the noob style font bezel..Yep, this one would have to come home too if Noob made it like the others, with SA4130 and slim. Or like you said, find a good existing Noob host and mix and match parts.

Haha bro, there's always something not quite the way we like it. I wish Noob would make the Barichello. I REALLY love that piece. I finally committed to buying the DHGATE quartz 41mm abomination version and now I can't find a listing for it anymore.
Me too bro.. Skeletonised 4130 will be my End Game haha. I got the VRF Pirlo and I really like it. Rumour has it that ABD is working on the skeletonised 4130 (you can see it in his Insta with various dials). I won't be surprised if Noob will work on it later on when they want to milk the 4130 as much as they can (can't blame them). I think the issue will be the price, judging with this release it is not cheap when people can say a FC AP diver is roughly the same as as a SS one, how DO noob price this at over 200+ USD premium?Haha bro, there's always something not quite the way we like it.

At the moment noob has the exclusivity of the 4130 of which of all of us favours, so I guess we don't have much choice..

Noob is unscrupulous when it comes to price gouging. The V11 BLRO GMTs are still priced $200 more than the BLNR and LN counterparts AND the BLROs still have the 2824 CHS timebomb movements while the others have the VR3185. It's a double middle finger, all because of their exclusive BLRO insert.

I agree that Noob prices are way higher BUT look at it like this. $800 is a lot in the rep world, but not even a spec of dust in the overall watch world. I said it before and I’ll say it again, where else can you get a fully carbon case with a working automatic chronograph for just $800? I think (and I could be wrong), the cheapest swiss in house chronographs are from Maurice LaCroix and Ball. Maybe Tag as well. Those start at around $3000. Those are not carbon and are THICC. Might even be hand wound mot automatic. Of course gen is gen but honestly I don’t mind the increasing prices in the rep world if the innovation is there. Now if we have to pay $800 for the same subs we already buy then thats an issue. But paying close to or even more than 4 digits for reliable custom movements and innovative designs, I’m all for it.
Well.. The other side of the argument is, OMF and WWF version are around $460ish mark with A7750, so whack an ETA 7750 on there and you can have it a Swiss Chrono for less than $800 if you have to be Swiss...
The Gen argument is a bit hard to compare with when rep factories have different overheads. Rep watches beats value for money for kickstarter projects as that's a bench mark in the "mass markets" with value for money..well at least they try to argue about it anyway...

Thats true. But they are pretty thick and not available with Carbon or Meteorite. But yes there are even cheaper alternatives available.
Saw this on one of the Chinese sites and thought some on here would like. It's the diw case combined with the meteorite dial. Think they make a nice combination as was a bit 50/50 on the standard meteorite dial with steel case but this got a wow factor to it
