Noob finally releases true clone GMTs

[KJ2020]

Price is lower than their 2824 timebomb, so it looks like they finally got a clue.

So the big question is why no Pepsi?

I guess they update these 2 first because ARF is releasing their Batman too.

Would be nice to get a new Pepsi by Christmas... my alternative was buying the Noob and VRF Pepsis and swapping the inserts (sell donor watch)

I'd really like to see an acceptable batman out of the box. I'll be keeping an eye on this but eitg tempered expectations.

I am really doubting between this new Noob black GMT master V11 or the ARF?

I would take the Noob if it does in fact have the VR3185 installed. Noob GMTs are pretty good for caseset, dial, hands, crystal, etc. The Noob LN insert looks OK. All reps have flaws of course but the prospect of an OOTB solution is enticing. The ARF LN has some great attributes - caseset, bracelet, hands - but the movement can be problematic and the crystal is not always able to be swapped without a reduction in date magnification. Also there are many reports of insert paint failing.

Can you Mod it to a Franken. ?

Noobs have been able to take gen bezel, insert, crystal, crown etc in the past. The VR3185 can take a gen dial and hands so that's pretty much the whole deal.

There's a Noob based Franken for sale now in M2M, which would have needed more modding than this one will because of movement differences.

Yep. This is what I've been waiting for. Love the look of the Noob Pepsi, but not paying that crazy price for a time-bomb movement.

Of all the flaws in rep watches, having one that only tells the right time twice a day has got to be the biggest tell.

Hopefully Pepsi is next, it should have been released like the day before yesterday.

Indeed. If it doesn't come out soon, it will look more like Noob is trying to continue price gouging for their exclusive insert. Watch them keep offering it only with the timebomb at it's current price. I won't be surprised, it's a cash grab for them.

Case Noob is better than ARF for you?

I think it depends on which model you want to build bro. Noob CGs look closer to gen 11671x's.

But you could really get away with using a Noob for either.
