NOOB V3 116500LN announced! Whats new?

[mchulst1]

First time posting, got my QC pics today. I think it looks great. SEL fit looks perfect to my eye. Did notice one of the holes the spring bars in the SELs are recessed into looks a little gouged up but not sure if that’s the light reflecting off of it funny. Looks great otherwise. Runs +6s/d.

That looks a superb example to me!

Wouldn't worry about those marks you mentioned, just adds authenticity imo.

You might wanna ask for a QC of the stopwatch reset to see if the hands align correctly though.

it does look superb indeed. Maybe the light but the "daytona" on the dial looks red not orange which would be good news

He also sent me a short video of the watch in operating the chronograph, and it on the regulation machine. In that video the sundial hands looked aligned perfectly.

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm if ARF bracelet fits into NOOB v3 nicely without any additional modifications?

Thanks

Totally agree! looks superb to me as well especially the clasp!

Looks fantastic, actually. Making me jealous because I've just now rejected a panda per its QC pictures due to terrible SELs and a somewhat bad clasp. May I ask what TD yours is from? QC looks very well done tbh.

Placed my order on 10/21/20, very responsive to emails and messaging on WhatsApp.

Have been looking at gen dials for a while now... I tend to belive rlx might be platinum plating the subdials rings.

This is the epitome of wrongly used QC pics.....

One of the best watches we have seen in a while, and somebody is looking for flaws that clearly don't exist....

I guess it goes accordingly with someone with a username "I need help NOW" lol. I guess it is pure poetic justice.

Quit the witch hunt, and go enjoy your watch dude.

Sad to see this reply from someone who was asking for the same QC help just a few weeks ago...

Gentlemen,

Just got QC pics for a NOOB V3 Panda, and wanted to consult with the experts.

Would be great if I can receive some insight regarding the typical inquiry areas: V3 Dial/Bezel? Bezel alignment? SEL gaps? etc.

I fear the bezel might be slightly misaligned towards the right (clockwise), and I fear the SEL recession is a little too much. I see a considerable gap between SEL and the case (adjacent to the bezel not the lugs). The bezel printing also looks somewhat "pale/dull" but I think that is because of the lightning used.

Any callouts I should be aware of? (Not certain if it justifies a rejection, or if things are within normal "tolerances")

Thank you very much for the help and feedback!!!!

Just got my v3 panda from InTime. Is it normal for the watch to have loud ticking? I have $100 automatics that make less noise than this thing. I can hear it from across the room. I don’t even want to wear it.

 

[ManuelCalavera]

anyone know if/when the gray dial (white gold) version will come out? I can't find it on intime...

No that is definitely not normal. I can hear a slight ticking sometimes, but that about 10-15 centimeters from my ear.

Sounds like you need to have it serviced

 

[thinwhiteduke]

That’s not normal at all. I held my Noob 116520 with sa4130 right up both ears one at a time. With chrono running. No ticking at all!

 

[SuperLory]

mine are silent like really cannot hear anything and winding is buttery smooth

 

[ginopino]

Someone with V3 and good SELs can take off the bracelet and post SELs code and CLASP code?

thanks!

You need to check the amplitude of your watch.

Give the watch 50 (gentle) winds of the crown and monitor it over a full power reserve and observe how much time it loses.

You might need to send it for a service and may require the pallet fork to be repaired or replaced (if possible).

Thanks for the helpful reply.

I actually did this experiment two days ago and it lost ~3-4 minutes after 24 hours. This is extremely disheartening since i spent almost $700 from InTime on this and it cannot perform to the same accuracy as my $100 Seiko.

I have contacted Ryan about this but he has not replied yet. The QC pics seemed good and showed the calibration was within range. I'd hate to bring this in locally to pay an additional ~$200 to have it serviced.

Have you tried calling the free-toll support ? It's in your damn rights to be in within COSC for fark sake.
