Crooked 12 on that second one , But have seen gens with it worse ! You want the GMF dial in anyway makes a bigger difference than the tiny bit of red in the 8

easy fix

Such a beautiful watch. I love the Jubilee bracelet but worry about the longevity of it. Other vintage jubilee watches I have had have stretched over time.

Watchfinder has a video showing the Noob Pepsi. Again, don't know where they get the idea that it costs a thousand pounds, but I must say, the Noob didn't look that bad under their macro shots.

Lol if only Trusty Time could start getting someone with that voice to narrate Trusty's videos haha. Whenever I see these videos I just think wow, the reps do a good job.

As for his comment about a watch having a soul... well, I understand that. But there is something to be said about modifying/Frankening it... it can actually become more meaningful, IMO.

I've learnt to totally ignore what others have to say about people like us who buys reps. I watch the videos just to see how well the reps hold up under really close macro inspection, and I must say I'm usually rather impressed.

I'm starting to think watchfinder is taking commission from the rep factories. This is the 3rd rep they are "promoting" already.

Hi, just tuning in. Just ordered this beautiful noob pepsi (my first GMT ever).

So I have some questions regarding franken/modding..

Is GMF dial really better than the noob - and why? and is it worth sourcing?
Is GMF insert better than the noob (hence the red color).
Does a B25-295-CAR-V1 fit the noob?

Gen hands, gen dw and VR3186 is ordered.

Hope some of you competent guys can help me.
