Noob v9 just appeared

[Joshj]

I say the forum setup a go fund me page for smoke. Every time he approves QC pics for someone they donate £1

Theres that 10 year reunion coming up. Need to impress those losers from uni/high school/pre school

LOL
dude… i understand what your point is but you should wear that watch for yourself and not to impress others
just my two cents

Good write up.

I'm waiting on the ARF for the LN date. The SD43 was the deciding factor - if their sub is this good, then its a winner: The build quality of that really does make my Noob v7 feel like a fake. Its not to say all is roses with ARF - they have some regular QC issues - on the SD43 there are many instances of the hands not being put on straight - which is probably all down to one idiot in the factory who doesn't give a fuck, but its not 100%. Though on the flip side, you have Noob building watches with a parts bin approach and the TD's don't really know what they're up to either.

Case shape / crown guards whatever - to be honest, I just don't see it that much. And I think most people here don't either .

Thanks. I am waiting for the 126600 arf myself. Really curious to see the build quality.

I don't think that's such a good ideea mate . If we put smoke in charge of QC approvals , tds are dead

smoke really is the king of subs tho. I’ve been on these forums for 2/3 years and he’s always been No1. These factories try it all but he has our backs. I’m awaiting QC from Toro of the Hulk V9 so as soon as I get it I’ll let you know.

[freediver]

yup, people like smoke are the driving force pushing factories for better quality .Sometimes though ,he is obsessed with lugs and cg's lol
As an average buyer like myself dial and insert would be more important, but that's the diversity we all talk about. What is very important for you could be minor for me

For those who don’t want to wait for Noob or ARF to get their shit together, I’ll be putting my V6s Hulk up for sale today/tomorrow

[PhilRRS]

so can I post QC pics?

 

[Joshj]

PhilRRS Yes post QC but must ask a question such as “is this V8 or V9”

 

[Joshj]

Hi Guys,

What’s your thoughts on this? I’m thinking it looks V9 but not 100%

 

[Joshj]

smoke any chance I could get your input?

your the King of the subs.

Also Id love to hear everyone else’s thoughts. I think there’s something wrong with the insert at 20. The 2 has some damage no?

 

[Joshj]

Is there any way to tell from the spring bars?

 

[Joshj]

I’m no expert but what do you think of the lugs and SEL? Also the date wheel and Insert?

 

[dmdio]

Hi Guys,

What’s your thoughts on this? I’m thinking it looks V9 but not 100%

I guess that the 2 on the 20 has a little damage.
I can't say that it is a V8 or V9. I'd wait smoke 's opinion.
Which TD have you bought it from? I'd ask for more pics in order to see the 20 number in other pic. This "damage" might be just a little dust...

 

[roro6263]

This is interesting but im really looking forward to the 114060 ND !

Me too!

 

[muiramas]

Insert filling looks bumpy - not just on the 20 - also 30. Looks like a paint job.

 

[roro6263]

They both are real.
v8 = v7 but in 904l
v9 = v7bracelet made of 904 + updated midcase and the bezel

Yes, thanks

 

[Joshj]

Rejected the watch due to the damage on the insert.

Awaiting NEW QC
