Noob Factory Returns After 3-Year Hiatus, New DayDate is coming!

[ToxicManChowder]

Apparently you haven't read the Wall Street Journal article on the subject. No problem, I'll be happy to enlighten you. The naming rights to ‘Noob’ were transferred to a Swiss agency in 2022 as part of a merger, which in turn sold them to a Kazakh agricultural cooperative for an eight-figure sum a short time later. However, the Kazakhs had little luck with their plan to sell frozen kale with the brand name ‘Noob’ via Amazon. They went bankrupt and the rights now went to a dubious Macedonian underwear influencer, who sold them to a Swiss company called ‘Rolex S.A.’. What few people know is that Rolex has a massive overproduction problem and fears a collapse in prices. To get the unsaleable watches – mainly full-gold day-dates with diamond sticks – out of the warehouses, they are now being marketed under the brand name ‘Noob’ through a Chinese wholesaler called Puretime. Ingenious, isn't it?

okay, this! Made me ROTFLOL. Glad I wasn't holding a drink at the time!

It’s great Puretime just added PayPal too, it will be easier to order this once it’s made available

Wasn't the last NOOB was the 3rd "incarnation"? The original Noob and the 2nd coming Noob was dead a long time ago.
So is the NOW noob run by the 3rd dude (it's about time right now that he finished his jail sentance)? or the 4th iteration of noob?

 

[Rx4Time]

....so this is noob factory v4, shortened to NFV4?

I'm curious to see how they compare to the standard bearers like GMF.

Thank you
I learned something today

 

[suppish]

Fonts look a bit thick no?

 

[antonygr]

my dealer say "The NOOB factory has been producing in small quantities"

 

[Db9s]

Noob is going to get more iterations than Fast and Furious franchise at this point. Also the same boring story.

Why a Day Date? It has been done to death. Why can’t they prove they are THE noob by making a fully functioning clone Sky Dweller?

This is nothing to get excited about. Same story rinse and repeat.

The multi million dollar name, Noob. No quicker way to part people with the loot than this brand lo.

Would be interested to know in how far this "new" Noob factory is tied to the old Noob factory.
Are there some of the same stakeholders involved? Or is it merely a marketing ploy of someone who just took (read "stole") the name? We've seen that happening before and without further information I'd tend for the latter scenario.

My sources say it's fake noob.

 

[Db9s]

My sources say it's fake noob.

All the fake noobs always start with the easiest releases. Unlike the OG noob.

Just a new cash grab off a name that’s meaningless when Clean, APSF, PPF. ZF, VSF already exists.

 

[peterpl]

LOL - Noob I reckon I bought the Noob submariner like 10+ times from their small interations.

Wasted so much money and these days the VSF is so close.

Noob better make an almost perfect DD for me to buy one.

 

[muiramas]

Noob were a trash tier factory when they disappeared. Their subs were a joke and the only thing they had going for them was the Daytona - which was, let’s be honest, crap compared with every current version. It’s interesting, but I’m not expecting anything great from them.

The lug profile is wrong. 2836 movement? Really? At least come out with something impressive like a VS32555 or even a VR3255. The crystal and cyclops are not impressive. What are they really banking on? The name? It doesn't mean $***

Alright thanks for the input. But if we let the movement aside. What factory would you recommend right now? Would like to get one but the topic daydate is pretty much confusing. Thought i give a shot with QF. But i am really unsure.
