NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[M Scott]

Just got qc fro my black dial v3.

:facepalm:

The one on I time's site has the sub dials way thinner than this.

If you look back at the beginning of this thread, you will see a few other old Black V1-V2 dials with thicker sub-dials called V3s.

As I said then, you have to watch Black dial QC pictures for this.

Yeah. Those subdials are ugly. The black dial is just a no go unless you plan on modding.

Gentlemen,

One last time: The "thinner" subdials of the V3 black dial presented on the intime website are nothing more than a lightning effect.

I have talked with Ryan (from Intime), he told me the ONLY change for the V3s (black or white) is the new BEZEL. The dial is exactly the same as the V2.2. There was NO change in the V3 dial....

Don't you think ALL of the TDs would be HEAVILY advertising a real V3 dial improvement if there was in fact a new dial (for either the white or black dial, but specially for the black)?

That being said, those subdials actually look like the V1 - V2 subdials..... Instead of the (imaginary) step forward some people think they made with the V3 dials, they are actually taking a step backwards in some cases....

The thinner sub dials got introduced in the v2.2, so if there is no change then the V3 would be as thin as the latest batch which was the v2.2. if the V3 are like the v1/V2, then it is a change and actually a step backwards

We already know that the Noob V3 116500 dials are unchanged from the "V2.2" version.

It's really very simple if you do a little research...

- The Noob V1 and V2 116500 Daytonas both had sub-dials that were too thick.
- In January 1999 Noob updated both the Black and White 116500 dials with thinner sub-dials which we called the "V2.2".
- The White Panda dial has always been more popular, and Noob's old stock of thicker sub-dial V1-V2 White dials sold out and disappeared quickly.

- The problem is that apparently Noob still has some old Black thicker sub-dial V1-V2 dials that are sometimes still being used in newer "V2.2" and V3 watches.


That's why I say that you have to check your V3 QC pictures carefully to make sure that you don't get an old V1-V2 Black dial.

I completely get your point Scott.

What I am trying to convey/clarify once and for all is that the so called "thinner v3 subdials" from the "intime pictures" is nothing more than a lightning effect.....

Some members appear to still believe there is a "magical V3 dial with gen-like thickness subdials and matte finish" from those intime pics, which both you and me know is not really the case.

Thanks for the headsup ! I might accept this as i like the case .
Will most probably go for an ARF black dial with gen markers ...

You're the case expert. If you're happy with the case geometry, go for it brother!

I fully agree with you, introducing an ARF black dial on that watch would look fantastic.

Please post pics of your finished timepiece, if you decide to go that route.

hi all

one of QC pics of TD ,
I would like your opinion on the thickness of sub dials ... illuminated effect or old dial ? thank you in advance

They’re too fat. Looks like the same dial as the QC pic posted previous to this on page 63. V1-2 Dial according to M Scott.

I’m still yet to see a black V3 QC pic with a V2.2 dial with thinner sub dials.. Every one I have seen has a ‘V1-2 dial’.

The only dial I’ve seen that’s accurate is the one on InTimes website which some are saying is just down to lighting effects.. I don’t buy that personally as his panda pics are taken in the same way and don’t make a difference to the appearance of the dial.

Perhaps the one on InTimes site is actually using a V2.2 dial and every other TD are showing a V3 with the older V1-2 dials. Maybe they’re shifting surplus stock with the first load of black dial orders. They probably sell 100 white dials to every 1 black. I don’t know.

I would refuse personally and perhaps wait until you can get one with this V2.2 dial. Just my opinion.

All of four of the pictures below are Black dial V3 QC pictures. All have "V2.2" dials.

The first three were posted earlier in this thread.

Chasing time. I guess black dials are selling in way lower numbers than panda ones. It will take a while until these fat chrono ones will be depleted.

IMPORTANT!!

Guys with a V3 already received and with a good SEL fitment. Can you please take some measurement taking off the bracelet?
Measuring the SEL of the bracelet in height, thickness and width and doing the same on the lugs of the case.
Could be interesting to understand if the better fitment is a new bracelet or just case machinery.

Thanks!

Thanks Scott. Not sure how but I must have missed these when you originally posted them.
