Noobifactory gone bad !!!

[rsh]

I just dont know what to say.....I got this today in the mail ....Sub LV with asian eta

Good God, I am nitpicky but this is ridiculous, a step backwords
Wrong hour hand
crappy as hell SEL fit
date cyclops misaligne
date rides high in the window
even the damn lume in the crappy pearl is uneven

 

[Q5?]

That sucks. What are your plans?

How is the movement?

 

[shandroid]

hmmm, wonder what's going on?! I haven't even inspected mine closely to be honest...

I will now!

Which dealer?

 

[Rbozzmanee]

Yes, please share. Which dealer?

Interesting, this watch may be an example of a factory using whatever is available rather than stopping the assembly process to wait for the correct parts AND an example of lack of quality control.

Some time ago I started a post about many erroneous opinions expressed on RWI and one of the opinions I was talking about is the assumption a factory always produces a consistent product. We are all guilty of assuming the noobfactory will always produce the same high visual accuracy in a sub. In this example, they did not.

Perhaps other members have received examples of noobfactoy watches which did not meet the norm for the noobfactory.

Doesn't look Noobfactory to me. Too many things too far off.
I don't think you got what you ordered.

Its from the noob factory, I am pretty sure guys, correct serial numbers, same dial, bracelet, etc

Option 1
I can send it back and get another one

Option 2 - I can sell it for a loss and move on.....

Option 3 - open it up, align the datewheel, swap a correct hour hand, remove the crystal and realign it, maybe polish the rehaut smooth at the same time, recess the insert and epoxy mod the pearl after shaving the pearl lumen even, oh dont forget polishing the bottom of the dial smooth so it does not stick on to the datewheel.....

Asian eta movement, though it looks gen eta on close observation, I can PM you price if needed jc7

I was really just trying to find out if you were complaining over a cheapie.

 

[kdo2milger]

is it this noob lv?

I think the price should not have relevance to the product you are told you will receive and the product you receive. Would you not agree ?

 

[JC7]

If you were told you would get a perfect rep for 50 bucks then your dealer should be flogged.. In the same breath people should know better and understand that perfection comes at a price... and in this game the price is high and perfection unattainable.

BK's YM sells for what 700.. i could give you the same number of tells you just listed.

As much as it hurts me to say this....

I agree... JC is absolutely right

I understand your point, but imagine youre a noob and you just spent 2 weeks waiting and $150 bucks and got this. What would you think. I already have this POS apart to align the dw, cyclops, swap a different hand in there...sanding the insert, etc. But you get my point

 

[JC7]

understand what you're saying 100%.

I do. If it is supposed to be a NF watch you expect a certain standard regardless of the price. That is like saying "sir, you got 35,000 dollars off the price of your Rolls Royce so why are you complaining the the leather doesn't match?". It doesn't matter a damn what you paid, if you order a RR or a NF watch you should get what you expect regardless of any discount.

+1

Mine look to be fine... Just checked them

 

[MrYesterday]

Very true. It makes no difference that we're getting these watches closer to the actual cost of manufacturing, as opposed to the over inflated price of other models. When they talk up the quality of the noobfactory, then send you something that would make the street urchins on Canal St. laugh you have every cause for aggravation.
