Looks really nice! I’d buy it immediately if it had a more reliable movement. Enjoy it!

So I got a gen crystal installed with an aftermarket gasket and the magnification seems too weak. Any advice on where to get a better one?

You need a taller gasket. Find out what height yours is and go up one level higher. If that makes the mag too strong, it can be shaved down an intermediate height. Clark's gaskets on Ebay are gen spec and should work in the Noob.
It's also possible this happened because your gen crystal is 1.8mm thick instead of the 2.0mm the Noob is. The solution is the same unless you change the crystal to a 2.0mm.

These are gen photos
This is a different watch also from 09/2019
This is another different one also from 09/2019
Not sure about the month for this one because the seller doesn't say about it
However, this one is from 03/2019 which has maroon like color.
I believe there are only a few batches that have dark red or maroon which were sold around Feb-Mar 2019 and noob tried to copy this batch.
My friend has gen, I showed Noob photos to him and he said the color is too dark. He bought a gen on 05/2019
So from what I have been seeing, the recent batches don't have a dark tone bezel anymore. but I personally like a darker tone bezel. It looks better.

Hi Guys
my findings on owning the new noob pepsi on jubilee is not great , all the hype disappeared with single figured DW numbers left of centre hence the amount put up for sale, bezel I admit very good but colour is too dark, even on a sunny day.
Movement feels ok but tick tock time bomb,
bracelet always the biggest disappointment on most reps for me, they get stuff ok on the watch then only do a half arsed job on the steel, take the jubilee smooth up and down the bracelet , left to right sharp edges awful !
clasp just ok , looking forward to the ARF models , so thanks to all the modders and watchsmiths who tinker and franken watches that will pass for gens,
out of the box reps , well a few , we buy rep watches to pass as gens imho , touch feel, BRACELET WEIGHT, DETAIL CASE, DIAL HANDS ETC,
That's why TC watches are sort after job done
what a hobby LOL

Anyone know if any TD could source me a blro bezel insert only? The one on mine has some numerals which haven’t been filled properly. It’s eating me up inside looking at it.

I still like mine
Watch looks stunning! Have you had any issues at all with the movement?

Good to know.
My next rep will probably be a Rolex GMT. I really think noob nailed this one but the movement has kept me away.
But seeing yours has me wanting to scratch that itch...
