I purchased from Chazing. 7/5 payment confirmed. No updates as of 7/13. I'm guessing the factory is releasing stock slowly and I'll just have to wait my turn...

Being a new member, I think alot of people forget we're talking about 500 dollar reps, not 9-14 thousand dollar gens. Of course the gen is more fantastic, it's genuine. I love my v9 because it's so damn close and worth way more than 500 dollars if these MINOR differences which half of you guys basically fix, I would say we're doin pretty well in the rep world if the DEAD GIVEAWAY is a bezel insert color, especially when you feel and wear this 480-500 dollar watch. I understand I'm new, this is the first automatic watch I've ever owned, my best watch before this was a G-shock. For being a replica, and what we paid, it's worth its weight in gold TO ME anyway. The fact that these differences are so minor and we're paying $500 not $12,000 dollars is still SO amazing to me, even almost a month after owning it. IDK. I mean no disrespect to anyone, I really appreciate the guys who can pimp these things out, and know their reps inside and out. Just offering my perspective.

Thanks guys! (Plz don't flame me)

I'm relatively new as well and I couldn't agree more. I can totally understand and appreciate members wanting to mod their watches closer to gen. I just don't understand those that say how terrible reps are because they're not perfect to gen and would never buy a v8, v9... Etc. It's a $500 watch, nothing else in that price range will even compare to the level of finishing these rep factories are putting out.

I don't think anyone's forgetting anything. Generally, you'll see people complaining about things which are wrong because of silly little errors which would not make the cost of the rep more expensive if those errors were not there. Secondly, the comparison with a $500 fake vs a $10,000 gen is not apples to apples - that gen cost less than $500 to make.

Your V8/V9 is where it is now because of criticism, feedback and wanting a better likeness to the real one.

I just saw on eBay a "genuine Rolex" bezel insert, but it looks like the numbers are painted on, isn't it supposed to be engraved and filled? Not just painted on, this is a hulk bezel adversited. Did the sub just paint the numbers on at one point? I don't get it. eBay seller has good feedback and wants $600 for this thing. I'm not buying it, just figured I'd try and get to the bottom of it. Was the Kermet bezel insert different from the hulk bezel insert? Or is the hulk just double green on insert and bezel?

Thanks.

FWIW, you are looking for a good value for your dollar just go ahead with a VRF MAX 116610. It is a very nice piece, at under $400. Parts are from both BP and Noob combined.

So are you saying the vrf is better than the v8 from noob? I'm looking for the hulk version and saw some comparison arf vs noob v7 vs gen but couldn't find any comparing to newer noob versions.

Go with the VRF MAX Hulk. Maybe add gen crystal and enjoy as is.
