Noob V4 Daytona's

[Stuvetjee]

incredibly enough these two tones go (relatively) cheap on the market despite looking f class

Well eventually these go up in a couple years. Def. sleepers.

It's lovely but just 'not for me', I prefer a SS Daytona.

How does the build quality compare to your Noob Daytona?

Yeah its strange, ihave seen that to, you can/could buy a two tone Daytona for 16 000-18 000€ But a ss one goes for 25-30 000€ its crazy..

I had my V3 serviced immediately after I received it : it was not working when I opened the package coming from China.
After the service, the watch behaves perfectly, I even had the chrono running for more than 12 hours, and I use is regularly.
If the chrono or anything fails in the future, I'll just get it serviced.
The cool thing is that all movement parts can be swapped with GEN parts, so it's quite easy to repair (but it can be pricey for some parts).
You also have the option to buy another Noob (V3 or V4) to have another 4130 movement in case you need parts and the GEN are too expensive.

If you don't mind me asking what service did you have done? I am curious so I know what should be done.

It's a good step up in build quality. The marriage between the moving parts like the crown and tube and the pushers are to a far greater tolerance and butter smooth. It's nicer to unscrew and wind, it has an aura about it that the Noob does not have. Put both in hand and you instantly know which is the rep and that's not just the weight, it's the finish and how solid it feels, like one piece instead of a bunch of parts, hard to describe but it's really nice.

Congrats on your TT Daytona. I know exactly what you’re trying to describe. I have the gen 116500 white dial but only wear it on special occasions. The noob is my daily beater and I can tell the difference even when blindfolded. Everything about the gen is buttery smooth to touch, wind and even the closing of the clasp has a haptic feel to it. If only we can all buy SS Daytonas at TT prices.

If only.. lol.. as above we could buy TT and plate in SS.. or that would be silly but more realistically you could buy TT and convert it with genuine parts, once you've sold off the gold parts you would be way ahead of the game if you didn't mind having a genstein (for a lot less).

On RepGeek, they’re saying Noob is closed down for good. Is that true?

Very nice to know, thank you for responding. Do you have a special watch repair you use or do you just go to any jeweler?

I doubt it, but on the other hand VSF is opening in a week. Maybe they will pick up the rights to the A4130

Probably the last pair of Noob V4 to leave the factory several days before the raids. Thank you Li @ Jtime

I received my QC today and I think I should reject it. Too many flaws, isn't it?
