Wait! What? Your clasp makes sounds when you’re not wearing it? Yikes!
What next? Oozing green pea soup?
Have you talked to an exorcist?

Ahhhh, seems like Noob is gone forever then. I wonder if the guy who replicated the movement also got arrested, and i wonder how long it took him to replicate the movement
I could be totally off base, and incorrect but I do not think the movement maker got arrested. Noob does not make the movements, but they had the contract for the unbelievable 4130 movement. Question is did another factory pick up the contract and start developing the rest of the watch. Too soon to tell, but nothing is done overnight, it would takes months to develop a new Daytona.
Wishful thinking, but would be amazing if Clean Factory can pick this up as they seem to be the premier Rolex rep maker at the moment now that it is rumored VSF is out of the Rolex business.

Hi All,
Just recieved what I believe is supposed to be a V3, but looking at it I'm really underwhelmed by the bezel printing. It just doesn't have the strength of colour as per my gen. Is this normal for a V3? If I sourced a CF bezel would that be better?
My gen for comparison;
Thanks!

People change bezels even on the V4 ( me being one of them ) and they're miles ahead of the V3. So yeah, that's the way to go. Not exactly like gen, but better than stock Noob:

Lol, what I mean is that the clasp is not very tight and always has the clicking sound.
Sorry for bad english
Folks,
I'm a lucky man three times. I could buy a Noob 116519LN dial from InTime before the raids, a brand new Noob 116500 rep from Toro Bravo's during the raids, and get Master Nikz19 to service and mod my Daytona (movement service, dial swap, translucent crystal gasket, bezel and hands lume). This wach is my first and only precious Rolex :thumbsup:.

Do not buy. If any V4s were floating around, I think our TDs would know about it.
And I hate Aliexpress, I bought something for my daughter a couple of months ago, the seller shipped it to another location (or gave me fake tracking #) and Aliexpress wont refund my money as it shows shipped. Ridiculous, and I am done with them.
No people say that they have V4s on Aliexpress. Luke me saying I have a bridge across the Hudson river to sell you.
I always wonder what “the contract on the 4130” means in the Chinese rep industry. I guess the organized crime manufactures have long and complicated manufacturing and supply lines they have to honor just like in any other powerhouse Chinese manufacturing industry?
it’s just hard for me to picture that there is some manufacturer out there that is refusing to make 4130 reps because a rep maker/integrator that doesn’t exist any more has the IP under contract.
Is there ANY PLACE I can get a noob daytona from anymore? I've contacted like 10 TDs but no luck...
