Still can't decide wether I should go for the green submariner from ARF or Noob V9, heard there was a ARF V2 out that.
Anyone got their noob v9 shipped from Chazing recently? I placed an order for the noob v9 black on July 12, and haven't even seen QC yet it's been two weeks. Anyone else ordered around the time experiencing the same problem?
It could be out of stock? I emailed before paying, and confirmed it was in stock. I would not pay unless they said they have it as I know noob takes a while to replenish stock.
When I worked in Mexico at an electronics factory (Dell, Cisco), the police would always crack down whenever there's a change in local government. The outgoing guys wanted to get their last grab. The new guys coming to establish their authority. There was always confusion as to who the "taxes" go to. You would get two different sets of policia coming in every other day. Maybe it's the same over in China.
I just hope production quality won't get negatively affected. Not sure how operations at Noob goes. Hopefully the police don't disrupt the lines. It's not in their interest since they still want good product outgoing so they can receive a consistent cash flow. If this police thing is true, then I'm guessing shipments are delayed until the right people get greased. And it's up in the air as to who the right people are if my speculations are true.

After a running battle and very long wait, One of the 2 orders i made with different TDs finally sent me QC pics.
I had asked for a refund today then all of a sudden got these pics. I know i shouldn't, but i would love an opinion if its a v8 or a v9. im told stocks only arrived today. I have asked for more pics of the SEL but have been told no.

You must’ve ordered way before me? Was it Chazing you ordered from bro?

I’ll take that as good news, maybe mine is just around the corner, or maybe I’ll be getting QC of your rejected watches lol.

patience is very important in our hobby!!!
this one has the v8 lugs.
your TD was obviously waiting for the new batch to not disappoint u.
but now that u wanted a refund he was kinda forced to send u pics from a v8-lug-watch he still had in stock!
PATIENCE! your money is safe at our TDs, let them try to do good work for u!
btw: nobody knows how the lugs of the next v9 batch will be. im curious too.
i wouldnt change the TD now(was it chazing?). write him u understand now that he was waiting for better batch, wait, and post here (with question: has this the good lugs?) your QC, if it isnt good u still can get refunded.
now your TD knows how important the lugs are for u, but if the new batch has "bad" lugs, u wont get good lugs anywhere!
obviously that good batch is gone now!
Is it only the lugs that look V8? This TD assures me lugs are fine. Will not send any further QC pics. Told me not to be picky, QC is only for seeing the model.
To me it kinda looks like the rehaut is off a touch.

rehaut alignment doesnt matter. its an easy fix. and its good enough on this one. no problem.
if u can live with what u see: accept it.
its a v9 with v8-type lugs and near flush SELs.
but anyway, its a nice watch. cooldaddy has near flush SELs too, and u see how he loves his watch.

has nothing to do with andrews QC. its the batch. hes QC opinion is just inside a batch(hes not overlooking the different batches).
and as far as i know andrew isnt intime or chazing -> so he never had one of the good batches!
