NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[r0b9502]

I am a bit late to comment on this topic, but from this picture below, every rep version is wrong everywhere as compared to the gen. The R fort mistake is a non issue as (i) compare the islands, they shrink to a dot progressively (ii) it looks like the engravings in the gen have only the floor plated and not the walls, but in every rep the walls seem painted.

I had actually wanted to order the panda when the new Noobs w. functioning chronos came out, but they were out of stock. So I ordered the whiteface with steel bezel (black painted engravings). If M Scott has a similar picture for the steel bezels, I for one would appreciate seeing it!

Can someone please tell me which version this is? Is it the new V3 with updated bezel. Also i cant quite tell, if the dial has the thinner sub-dial rings.

Hello, it's pretty that .... it comes from where?
I look at one at Puretime but can not say if it's the same.
:notworthy:

It is a new V3 with the correct (for a V3) updated "V2.2" dial.

- The 3 6 9 markers all look straight to me but the 3 is strangely a little low.
- The bezel is slightly misaligned to the right, at the top 60 triangle.

Compared to other QCs and the V1 and V2s markers are misaligned atleast from my own behalf i wouldnt risk it.

Is the subdial looks thinner now? It seems like to me.

I think that they are using same dial comapred to the V2.2 with bezel and minor sel update. You can see SELs are littile bit better compared to V2.2 still not as good as what ARF offers. From my own behalf ill call this watch V2.3. It doesn't deserves the V3 i guess.

Hi guys! So I'm getting increasingly frustrated. Already rejected 2(!) watches, the first one being a V2.2 and the second one having a misaligned bezel. Just got QC pics from third watch, and AGAIN a misaligned bezel. Not as bad as the first one, but still... Everything else looks ok to me, SEL's, movement good readout too. Don't really know what to do, how many times can you usually reject a watch? Don't want to be an Ahole but its still a lot of money. Would fix it myself but never done something like that and apparently these bezels are quite fragile. Does anyone know someone in NL (preferrably in or around Amsterdam) who could realign the bezel? Thanks. I'll include some of the QC pics.

this seems to have fat counters!!!

Haha really? I don't think so... But thanks for making me even more insecure about this watch haha... The bezel misalignment isnt even that bad but my ocd would drive me crazy if I walked around with it like this.

Accept one with less misaligned 120 you would not notice that on the wrist trust me,i had 3 arfs and all three had flaws and the biggest and annoying flaw was Wrong SEL recesion or SEL shape with lugs

This one is the least misaligned of the bunch, but 120 still quite noticable don't you think? If I accept it I definitely have to find someone who can pop off the bezel and put it back correctly.

Base on your #508 post in this thread. As I noticed, the sub dials really get a lil bit thinner and the printing on those sub dials looks a lil bit thicker now which is better IMO.

The Bezel is slightly misaligned at the top 60 triangle. The sub-dials are fine.

Reject it until they get it right. You may have to wait a bit longer to get it right, but that's what QC pictures are for.

You are seriously recommending this watch be rejected based on this photo?

That is absolutely not what QC pics are for

Do you think it's acceptable? The bezel is clearly rotated clockwise a bit. I've seen some people on this thread get lucky but I'm starting to think it's an exception to find one WITHOUT a misaligned bezel.

Sorry, you should not be rejecting a rep based on this. Accept it and sort it out if it bothers you. I made a tutorial for this, you can resolve it fairly quickly with some cheep tools.
