Noob Factory Issue?

[nauticatom]

So dont shoot me, but I got this back from a TD I was looking to place an order with... Ill quote it, bad language and all, this in response to an order I placed for a 243 Noob V2..

Hi Sir

Factory called to inform that the stock of this watch below is not availableAM 243
**ONLY the H factory PAM243 are in stocks.


The factory Noob has no stocks at all.

And they are rumored to be closing down soon. Thanks.


So there you have it... Hot off the presses from a TD, dont know if theres much weight to this, but its certainly interesting... I guess if anyone with more know could check into this, be my guest.

I think we would have heard that they're closing completely, but there has been that movement shortage as of late.... anyone more informed case to comment?

The Cartel who pushes H-factory watches (a.k.a. two specific TDs removed from RWI) have been saying this for months. It's not true...lol.

Lol

Cartel? interesting... I've ordered noob watches from this TD before, never had a problem.. I typically dont buy H-Maker watches, lesser quality... I wonder what has changed., maybe someone can make a sticky on something along these lines? That's why I said dont shoot me, I literally just relayed an email from a TD who ive bought a bunch from. Sorry if its something well known to the regulars.

OP name the Dealer man! We all know anyway but say who told you this.....

 

[nauticatom]

its Andrew from TT, I cycle my orders through Trevor, Puretime, and TT.. He was next in line... Breitling from Trevor (still stuck in transit), 187 and 299 from Puretime (done), and this was going to be his 243... Guess im dealing with the wrong TD?

You should present the name of the TD to admin team so they can deal with it. And perhaps they can clear up some of the confusion and rumors.

 

[nauticatom]

I already did name him,... I re-submitted the order through Puretime, hopefully the admin team or a mod, could post this... I rather spend my time looking through the technical stuff like what you work on marlin, rather than cartels, conspiracies, and bad deals... But I guess there's all of that in any hobby thats out there...

 

[mitchbaria]

Andrew and Josh are no longer td's here for this kind of dishonesty to push sales.... now while I've used Andrew one time in the past and many here have it's these kind of things that make so many members here simply loathe them...... I think we all agree that Andrew doesn't need to do these kind of things to sell his watches,,,,unfortunately it's seemingly a habit.....
OLD HABITS ARE HARD TO BREAK! :cheers:

Do you guys honestly think H-Factory is inferior to Noob? I think some of both are great. The PAM 299 from H is far superior, but the PAM 111 and 390 from Noob are better.

My H-Factory PAM 089 is one of the best reps I own for sure.

I think BP Factory his 3rd place. I know we all have different experiences, but sometimes Noob has silly QC issues in my opinion. Of lined Crystal Cyclops comes to mind quite often.

 

[RobbDizzle]

its Andrew from TT

Oh. Well then. That kinda explains everything....

Noob factory will close right after the release of the cartel diver v4. Mark my words! Lol

 

[ALE7575]

Noob and H maker competition is harder and harder

These comments are typical from dealers working with each maker

Puretime will say Noob is perfect and H maker is making bad products
TT and P.Clones will say H maker is the best and Noob is near to closing.

That could be neither nice nor smart but it seems to be a regular practice in this market

Anyway no need to be offensive with any dealer or maker. You can just say your opinion without personal attacks.

Nowadays, Noob reps are usually better than H maker ones. This is a statistical matter. No doubts.
There are few replicas made by two makers where H maker is better than Noob in general.

Regarding PAM 299 I'm afraid you own PAM 299 N H maker and you have not seen the PAM 299 K of Noob. I was really impressed by the quality of Noob 299.

That said, I admit that I have many H maker reps and I like them

+1. The 299K from noob is my Go to Rep for Daily usage... Keeps good time, and it doesn't have any glaring rep issues. Its unfortunate that there is this issue of sorts between the factories & the TD's. it muddies the water for an already difficult process. Thanks for all the info guys.. Now back to figuring out if I can get a 243 from noob or not... Waiting to hear back from PureTime, since they seem to be in noob's pocket. If not, I could use some recommendations for a 24mm PAM that would go with my Velcro Dive Straps (have both Gen Black / Yellow & Black / Blue).. The 299 doesnt do so well with it. looks out of place.
