Noob V6s 116610LN - First Impressions

[retrospex]

Well, I literally just got this in the mail and immediately found a REAL camera (read: not iPhone camera).

Everything was packaged nicely and sent promptly thanks to the efforts of Angus and the PT team.

Edit: this is the 2836 version

As we can see so far, under direct (led) lighting, the V6s has all the polish and shine you'd expect from one of Noob's top tier models. The AR on the cyclops shows much less blue than the v5, slightly better but not quite that gen blackhole effect.

Fingerprints galore... I know

The bezel insert looks superb. Beautifully finished and crisp, the font colors are leaps ahead of the last silvery interpretation. Don't mind the spots in the pic, everything is spotless after one wipe.

I am by no means a pearl expert, but this does the job quite well. Also you can see how rich the bezel finish looks with some light shaded.

Slightly more light in this pic above. The bezel turns and clicks VERY nicely! I'm really impressed on how nice this feels. Virtualy no wobble and the right amount of firmness as you adjust it.

That clasp! I don't think this needs much explaining

I'm also including some pictures in more natural lighting in a moment.

Wow looks amazing, received my V5 yr.day! By comparison they look identical.

Thank you for the pics!!! Looks fantastic, how's the clasp feel to operate? Does everything engage firmly?

Thanks again!

Ok, so here we are with some natural lighting thanks to some good sunlight coming in today, I think this is where the V6s really comes to life. The "high-scrutiny" lighting never really does full justice to any watch, rep or gen. These following pictures are in indirect contact with sunlight through the window.

<--sorry if slightly out of focus

In this setting, the AR on the cyclops really does get rather close to the gen's blackhole effect. Not perfect, but certainly pleasing to look at. Magnification looks good to me.

I am very happy with the SEL fitment on the V6s. I've been through a few different noobs before, including a BK v5. This tops the charts with fitment, props to Angus and Noob!

Looks like the TD's are gonna get bombarded with orders once CNY is over

And finally, these last couple pictures are in natural lighting but a good distance away from the window (maybe 20 feet compared to 5 feet from above), a rather neutral daylight setting without any strong sunlight contact.

And the grand finale...

Overall thoughts:

This is by far the best Sub-C on the market in my opinion. I've seen the JF reviews and it too is a strong competitor, but there are certain finishing touches that I think noob has a better handle on.

The finish on the bezel and the paint color has this looking spot on. The cannon pinion height is a nice detail the obsessvie will be pleased with.

The SEL!!! On the wrist this just totally separates it from the v5 and previous models. This was one of my strongest pet peeves, and I'm very happy to see the improvement.

Cyclops AR - well, it's not gen. But it's also not the blue monster of yore. I find this to be tolerable. A gen crystal would be sweet.

Bracelet - Excellent. Not much I can say that has not already been said. The clasp looks gen and works perfect.

CONCLUSION: you want a fantastic sub-c? Here it is.

theres a lot to like about that watch, to me it's the best version so far from the pics. A few small things like the aplication of the overlay could have been better but what can you do, it's still the best ceramic sub as I see it

thanks for the brief review and pictures was waiting on someone to share some personal pics of this new V6S, might have to purchase this after CNY !

The v5 is a great model, especially for the sale price! I'm confident you'll enjoy it as I enjoyed mine.

Thank you for the pics!!! Looks fantastic, how's the clasp feel to operate? Does everything engage firmly?

Thanks again!

You're welcome! The clasp feels great; engages firmly and snaps securely. No complaints.

Rehaut looks pretty wokky I hope it's just bad angles in the pics.mine should be here soon can't wait to see how it compares to my v3

 

[markiemark]

Superb! Is it just me or is the rehaut a bit wocky?

Wokky as in off-center? Not more than some gens I've seen that are also not perfectly aligned. A good example would be when Rolex debuted their rose gold yacht master on rubber. Their show model was aligned similarly
