The transition line is unacceptable. Was planning to reject any GMF where it wasn’t perfect. Seen some good examples. What is noob doing if not gluing two pieces together? They can make a two color ceramic insert?
Are you worried about noob’s movement? I’d prefer incorrect hand stack for reliability, so wish that was an option with noob.
How’s the jubilee? I’m more into oyster but will get jubilee since it’s model correct and I have plenty of oyster already.
Yes, I was going to go with GMF and buy a Noob insert, but you can't get a noob insert alone. I was going that route because it would be cheaper..trust me I am not trying to go over $1000 for a rep. Thats when I swapped over to the Noob and GMF dial, just because the markers bothered me on the Noob and I can buy the GMF dial, fat on the 12 and 18 markers, but really can't see unless you have a gen on hand. Im not too worried about the time bomb movement. I don't plan on messing too much with the hour hand when swapping time. I have a gen Batman and I never used the time zones. I've used the bezel or my iPhone to tell different time zones and simply..you forget sometimes..
The jubilee bracelet is good. You have to soak the clasp in baby oil over night, as it is tight, but once done..smooth like butter in the action. Very comfortable and well made.
Now, the VRF and ARF are out with their new movement, I can hear the angels voices in the background....!!!!!. I've contacted a couple dealers on the movements already but none can source them alone, yet. But i have a hunch that these new movements may be able to just drop on in..in fact ive seen a guy here who dropped a gen movement into a noob and he added a movement holder, don't quote me on it..
the ultimate rep Pepsi would be...
VRF base (with new movement), GMF dial (because its the only one available, mine had terrible lume applied), rep hands, Noob pepsi insert (best available right now), and gen crystal..It would be the white gold version. If you have to source the jubilee bracelet then it puts you in the noob pricing.
Or wait until VRF or ARF comes out with Pepsi--took ARF over 2 years to even come out with a GMT..and VRF (batman has a terrible insert).
Or Noob watch, gen crystal..GMF dial, and look to drop in the new VRF movement.
Options are very open and new at this point..
