What, noooo, how could you...nooooo, really; you didn't have either one with you. aarrrrgggggg! :adoration:
Do you think your mate would let you do a three-way comparison review with pics?
gen vs. bp vs. noob v3, Wow that would be incredible! (in French accent).

i did have my bp with me that is why i noticed for the first time that bp lugs are slimmer than gen.my mate is impressed with the bp and he obviously owner of the gen
Just approved my QC images. Looked at them on two monitors. Watch looks good. There were only two things I could spot as possibly not perfect and they weren't enough for me to ask for more pictures and definitely not enough for me to reject the watch.
1) The crown logo doesn't sit perfectly horizontal (off by a solid 120 degrees). I have gen watches where this is the case, so it's not a deal breaker for me.
2) I couldn't see the crown on the rehaut, but the "X" to the left (end of "ROLEX") at 11:59 is in a position that causes me to believe the crown might not be perfectly centered.
Truthfully, I have gens that wouldn't hold up to this level of scrutiny. After about 10 minutes of comparisons (with AlFru's and gen's online) I happily approved.
Can't wait! My heart is still pounding from when I received the e-mail.
EDIT: I was SO excited, that I actually paused Breaking Bad. I'm watching the last few episodes on Netflix (haven't seen them) and this would be the only thing possible that could have pulled me away from that show.

Just got my pics as well. Only thing that stood out to me was the top sel is sitting lower than the other. Is this typical with reps?

I saw the exact reverse in mine. I believe the SELs may have a small amount of play. As a result, whatever position they take as the watch is set down is what you see. That would be a very tiny gripe.
AlFru....hate to keep bugging you. You've already uploaded about a couple dozen photos of your watch but would you mind uploading a pic of how your sels look from the bottom? Maybe a similar angle as the one I got in my QC pics?

Yep. Read something a few months ago about Rolex patenting a system to lock the crown so it always sits straight when closed. However it's not actually implemented in the watches, so even on a gen sub the crown won't sit straight.
PS. Breaking bad is AWESOME you'll like the ending.

I guess my images got un-approved. Something wrong with the watch; I'm waiting on new QC pics now.
EDIT: Did anyone else get QC images than then have them revoked 8 hours later? Problem with the insert? I got one picture each of eight watches and a note saying to wait for new QC pics.

Yes, i've been speaking with Jorden from intime Quality control. He says intime received a shipment of allegedly noob V3's but with Noob V2 bezels and inserts. They then sent out the QC pictures and after complaints have revoked them and are going to contact noob factory to find out whats happening.
Edit: Apparently the entire watch's are Noob V2's
