TDs continue to list reps that were last seen years and years ago, so the existence of a listing for a rep and an "In Stock" note means nothing. It's always best to contact the TD and ask whether a rep you're interested in is available.

Having looked at the Daytonas, I’m pretty confident these aren’t the old Noob Factory, nor a batch of old Noob parts put together - this seems to be an altogether different factory using the ‘Noob’ name and non-Noob parts.

New Noob, if you will.

After seeing a two recent QC posts on another site for a NOOB 116610LN for an awesome price and great GL from some vets I tried to order one.

I paid and waited and waited for QC pics, finally was told it was unavailable.

So, I do know Steve is unable to get any more of these models. I assume they're old factory stock, that maybe were once RL'd?

^ I just ordered a new BTF Dial so I can franken this one. I have no idea what the real deal is; I only know what two different TDs have told me by email, which is this:

Please note that Noob is out of business. According to the news on the market, this watch is made by the all the same parts which Noob used to source to assemble their watches. That is why it is regarded as a Noob's watch since the watch is made of parts from the same suppliers.

Hmm... IIRC, Noob never did individual sunbursts in the subdials, so the dial on that one doesn't appear to be Noob.

I read that somewhere too... my main problem is the font though - I can't handle it so I ordered a BTF dial from Steve@theOneWatches

Somebody should get ahold of Tony to clear all this up.
Actually, Zhāng "Tony" Chow called me last week, during Easter, super early for me as I was sleeping it off. I saw the Guangzhou prefix, squinting on my phone in the darkened bedroom. Thinking "oh no"
Tony Chow was adamant that the New Noob is the Old Noob and rock solid " goode quality" , same same as before I heard him screaming. Not as much as a hallo or good morning John.
Order from my website he proclaimed, ship fast he promised, no need wait he urged, speaking rapidly. Chewing gum and chain smoking.
With that out of the way he wanted me to put in a good word for him "mak-e me TD on LWI" he wanted, kick back $$ for you, flee money. Good Deal for y.....
"I have other call, call back, Eddie Lee call me" I heard him say. He hung up.

The call lasted roughly 40 seconds.
