NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[Cheeps]

To address a few things :

1. Those are clean or CF bezels that are in my hand. 2. There are v2.2’s next to the v3
3. there is no wear to the bezels in the v2.2, it’s just bad lighting and reflections
4. Gen glass would be best, there are a few around eBay.

i am curious though, how are people finding gen hands? I can’t seem to find blue lume gen hands anywhere, maybe someone can recommend?

also, I wasn’t criticizing anyone’s take on how they want to collect or nod their watches by saying these are flawed as reps, just pointing out that it’s a luck of the draw if the one your TD gets is better tuned in terms of movement and how the SELs line up. Same goes for Arf. Clean bezel still is the best I would say, and can post more side by side pictures to the gen 3 if you want more?

Gen hands are terribly hard to find right now. I’d open a wtb in the parts section if I were you, I got mine this way.

Thank you for posting all your hands on experience and all your great pictures.

I think a picture like the one that I photoshopped above with the Clean Factory Bezel over the V3 Noob in the same focus and lighting would be a great help.
People tend to focus on the "UNITS PER HOUR" font and a few of the numbers around that area of the bezel.

Can you tell me who is your TD?

Yes please tell us =)

So V3 with clean bezel, and you're good to go??
No further mods required??

Could the senior members please weigh in..


Thanks in advance

Been wearing my 2.2 Daytona CF bezel with smarty end links & leather strap. Loving every single minute of it. My advice? its a rep, it will never be gen so wear it for what it is. Stop worrying about every single TINY error which you won't notice on the wrist.

Very well said. Such a beauty, But for the black dial, you will really notice the fat sub dial.

I swear I saw MScott 's post saying that the new black dial is thinner now?

Yes, this forum is full of nit-picking small details that most people will never see on the wrist, and some larger details that only some will ever be able to see.
But all of these sharp, magnified pictures are just making it more interesting for some to see just how close these Replicas are getting to Genuine watches.

Unlike the White Pandas, they are still thicker then Gen and the silver still too shinny.

Yes. Black one dial is wrong.

If you have a gen and clean bezel in hand, could you post some pictures in the clean bezel thread where I posted the comparison shits with the rep bezels. Thanks

Totally agree.

Would you mind sharing the source for the end links pls?

wkim8732 wise words!! Let me also say the watch looks amazing on that set up. I wanted to do something similar but then I went the 116519 route.

M Scott i completely agree. However, as you said I'm one or those who's trying to see just how close we can bring the rep to the gen.

Therefore, besides the bezel change on V3, what other mods can/ should be done to make it more gen like??

Thanks in advance.

Arf dial and arf clasp

 

[Sm786]

Is the clasp that much better on the ARF?

 

[ginopino]

Is the clasp that much better on the ARF?

YES - this was asked at least 1000 times.

Noob is obviously wrong you can tell imstantly on comparison when on arf it is hard tell

I've read quite a few posts that the ARF clasp is better, but what is better about it?
