NOOB Pepsi GMT 126710 BLRO mini review

[KJ2020]

Not a lot of people probably know this but the GMT has a compass complication as well.

Check the last part of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jTaFmy38xM

HOW TO USE YOUR ROLEX GMT MASTER II AS A COMPASS.
https://www.miltonsdiamonds.com/news...-as-a-compass/

"A compass bearing can also be taken using the red 24 hour hand (the 24 hour hand must be set to LOCAL time, not GMT). When the watch is laid flat with the 24 hour hand pointed in the direction of the sun, the 12:00 marker on the dial will point to the north in the northern hemisphere and to the south in the southern hemisphere."

You can use it to get home after happy hour.

This is a handy feature of any watch, aided some by the watch having a 24 hour bezel whether fixed or rotating. But you don't need to change the setting of the GMT hand. As long as the bezel 24 marker is at 12 o'clock, just aim your bezel marker coinciding with local time (16 for 4pm for example) at the sun. 12 on the dial or 24 on the bezel points to N in northern hemisphere, etc.

Noob is much darker then the SS gen. But it matches the white gold one, I have seen both in store light.

Just go back and review this thread, plenty of references to gen "mark 1,2,3" apparently with varying shades of red/burgundy.

Enjoying

Looks like an MK1 insert. I didn't like those at first but I bet they become a premium like the flat 4 Kermit inserts.

So my favorite watchsmith found that my jumping hour click spring is indeed broken. Since the watch failed to work right out of the box (hour hand sticking at 10pm every night), AND knowing I followed the setting instructions in the sticky to the letter, I will assume it came to me broken. He's going to source me a ICHS movement and new hands. He does amazing work so hopefully even thought I'm pouring even more money on top of my $700, I'll end up with a great looking, functional piece. Fingers Crossed!

I wish they would just do a nice Navy blue and Cherry red.

Lol yup

Far right for me (that's quite unusual for me .... )

The complete part is the "GMT wheel"

The part that breaks is the "Jumping hour click spring"

The click spring probably costs less than $5 to make and it has turned thousands of $500 reps into paperweights.

My China partner asked but they won’t sell the part only. Dam!

Can get movement but it’s not Cheap and supply is limited, so wait times could be long.

Anyone know if ARF gmt movement will fit noob case? Incidentally, I managed to get gen hands installed on the noob CHS movement

There is a member who had a VR3185 fitted into a Noob V10 case, so the ARF should fit as well.

Hey guys, I am searching for a disc date wheel to swap the factory's one because it is too left justified.. what kind of genuine disc date wheel can fit the BLRO? Thanks in advance..

A gen 3135 DW is the best option. It will have to be glued onto the Noob DW, or even right onto the DWO if you don't want to save the old DWO. In effect the gen DW becomes a DWO. There is a lot of room in the case to do this so the gen DW won't have to be modified to fit and can be re-claimed later for use in its gen capacity, or in a 3135 based rep as a DW.

Here's a great shot of a gen. Wonderful color, I'll take one please.

Do you have any info what might be the cost of the movement and wait times if someone wants it?
