Noob V4.1 seems to have a crisper font and thinner stripe on hour hand, IMHO.

Chanel factory?

As far, as I know, absolutely all APs made at Noob factory.

Anyone else find it ironic how all of these surfaced all of the sudden , after a member picked one up outside the dealer circle ? Now all of the sudden Noob floats a 4.1. I smell bullshit.

To sum up..

4.0 is from the "other" maker then Noob just released his 4.1 version with updated inner bezel lume also.

I love competition..

I opened the case back and everything looks similar. For all we know all these are coming from the same place. In my opinion, the bezel font improvements make this or the 4.1 a must have.

Yes, it smells fishy... First, it came suddenly when a member pointed it out, then most TDs insist Noob is better than surprised new maker (Their reasons why they chose not to carries it), TDs now carries it and no longer feels its much inferior, V3.5 suddenly updated to 4.1 and walala side by side its almost similar... :hehehe:

Ok... Weird... So the "Other maker's V4" and "Noob's V4.1" are pretty much identical??
The other maker was supposed to have a better crown, has thismalso been upgraded in the Noob's 4.1???

Update

Very simple la
Noob factory got their 3.5, pass to X factory
X factory upgrade a little sell it as 4.0
Noob factory continues in their upgrades launch a 4.1 .. Then they do not need to throw all their 3.5 away..

So when they know a new version is coming, they will do the same thing again to factory Y to sell as version 5 with upgraded strap or whatever.
Then a new 5.1 will be out with better lume and date plate whatsoever.

I just hope they do something about the ROOs by 2020!
