Just Quick Question:

In general consensus as of today Dec 2019, Noob V3 Ceramic Bezel is just good enough out of the box? or Should it be changed to CF bezel?

Thanks.
IMO no need friend,because color and fonts are very good now and you can always order CF in future if color starts to fade...

About to approve QC pics but is it me or do the SEL on the bottom left link look to be misaligned?
And I thought the dial for V3 is meant to be Units per H0UR or have I been mistaken as it's the other way around as my QC pics show it as Units per HOUR?

Just got mine today. While not perfect, I think this is as close as we will get right now from N. SEL decent, major things on face such as hour markers are straight and line up, etc.

Stoked. Thanks again to those that helped educate so I could make an informed decision!

Helps my guy got to pick from a batch of 20 and give me the best he could find ;) Look forward to swapping the face out at some point, band, and possibly bezel, though V3 is pretty good. I love the looks of the ARF, by V6 maybe N will pass ARF cosmetically :p

Took a look under the hood, amazing what’s happening today in the rep world. Look forward to see what other technological breakthroughs arise in the future, exciting times!

Thanks again contributing non-hating members ;)

Cheers

Currently looking at my first QC pictures of my noob v3. I have concerns regarding the chrono hand (slightly tilted to the right?) and the SEL gap top left. Maybe it's just the angle or I'm too picky, what do you guys think?

Angle and too picky. Slim subdials. Nice.

- That is about as good as Noob SELs get.

- The Large Chrono Hand is slightly tilted to the right, but it could be easily adjusted by a Watch Smith. Puretime might even be able to fix it it before you approve it.

- The Sub-dials do look nice and thin. Possibly even a new Black Dial version of the 116500 Noob.

M Scott Thank you for the feedback!
I'm not sure if it's better to just accept it (and get it fixed as soon as it gets a service anyways) or ask puretime to do it (and risking something else gets broken).

I don’t the hand is off. I think it’s the angle. Maybe 0.1 mm off. Wouldn’t change it.

If you are going to get it serviced, then just wait for that. It will be part of the service anyway and very easy to adjust.

@molivio

pretty sure any watchsmith that services rolex will have on the shelf. I can get ARF bracelets but not through a TD here, not sure if any carry it, but can’t imagine it being hard to source small parts like that through a friendly rolex dealer.

Gen for reference.. and don’t forget that a wrist watch looks different on the wrist VS on my 27inch screen! I believe it’s quite an accomplishment where we are now! Enjoy everyone
