NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Bobi01]

Wow your cf bezel looks very dull..is it like that from day one? Or it faded away from time to time?

CF bezel faded, noob V3 is also faded. No perfect rep for ceramic bezel, its look great in 2weeks, after that you need to clean it with tooth paste dan soft brush to make it looks great again. If anyone said that V3 bezel not fade,,, just wait,,,

I got a CF Daytona bezel that’s pushing 1 year. Zero fade...

Maybe the luck of the draw? Seems strange to fade over time.

Did you use your watch as daily use?

I have 3 CF bezels on my Daytonas. Absolutely zero fading. Compared to the latest V3 Noob bezels they are in my opinion slightly better. In some viewing angles the Platinum Paint Looks richer and brighter.

TBH.. is pretty much that in day 1. I am not sure what causing fading (maybe simply air + time), the CF bezel has a "nicer" finish on a loupe and apart of the font (which it might be more accurate), I am more happy with my #3

That's exactly what Im saying! You can see on #2 (also a V3) it is much darker. I am not a few months in for both #2 and #3, #3 still looks pretty awesome. One wipe with a microfiber cloth it brings out the shiny again like new - hopefully it won't fade

Noob Panda has still slim subdials, right?

 

[Tony Clifton]

According to latest QC Pics unfortunately yes!

 

[srhoque]

Have 4 CF bezels, oldest is over a year old. Absolutely zero fading. Maybe it’s luck...I also clean them periodically with warm water and a cotton swab. They are also inside a closed case when watch is not being worn. Ultimately, I think al rep bezels (CF, Noob or ARF) will lose the paint.. when that happens is the luck of the draw.

Im sorry for my poor english.
i thought faded is the number at bezel becomes darker because of sweat or dirt, so you have to clean it every times compare to gen bezel.
i agree that CF bezel is zero fading. But what i mean is you need to clean it every week or 2 to make it shine.
pictures with CF bezel after i clean it with tooth paste and soft brush. Pict with no edit and no filter. Light is in the living room, not so strong light.

What i spoted is, when i first time started using watch it went around -5 seconds every day and last few days im on my vacation and i dont wear it that much,only maybe 2 hours in the morning and few hours in the evening so i wear it much less then before and it started to run faster like +5 secs per day which i more like but it is little weird or it is normal?

It’s normal. It will run slightly differently depending on what position it is in. Sitting face up, most movements run slightly faster than say sitting on its side. Extremely good gen movements will be much less difference between positions than say a clone assembled in a basement.

Yeah i know that and also i read somewhere that when the movement is at the end of the power reserve movement amplitude raise and watch runs faster

+1. The watch balance (and balance weights) and the gears are subject to different forces of gravity in different orientation in addition to other factors. You explained it very well. This is why timegraphers give average reading because the wrist is supposed to move in all directions.

I don’t know if this is lighting but your bezel is starting to look a bit too white, stop cleaning that often should be a tad more greyish (the platinum finish). Overall, watch like very good, wear in good health!!

i think is just the light of the flash

I hope so. The Noob v3 bezel looks just like this, washed white under all light conditions.

 

[WenR]

Nope, no flash. I used that CF bezel almost 1year. Wash it often when number gets darker. Bought the CF bezel in oct 2019
