Strap change only took one day. Approved! Hopefully it will ship out today/tomorrow.View attachment 92869
Congrats! I was hoping that I’d got mine before I traveled but it was not to be. Still a few more days before I head home. Can’t wait!

your words are very convincing! I just got my first rep Noob Pam111 last month because no TD had 000 or 005. 111 is nice but looks a little plain on rubber strap. I think I need a nice upgraded leather strap give it a more elegant look to make the dial pop more! Think I'll buy the XF sausage with rubber strap keep this one for more the daily beater sporty watch.
Anyone have any comments about the rep crystal? My noob has magnification blurry look when viewing the dial from and angle. Wasn't sure if the Genuine is the same or I should upgrade to a better crystal?
Came back home and it’s waiting for me ...

Of course. Depends on where your mind is at. "Uh sir, my face is up here..." :tongue:
Puretime said only had 2 left so I grabbed one of them. Mine should be arriving in a day or two. I’ll try and take some pictures of my sausage “dial” that is.......haha and post them up. Hope I’m not disappointed. Will be nice to compare it to my recent purchase Noob 111 V3/V4.
Got mine from Perfect Clones. Ordered first through Trusty, but was sold out. Somehow PC had them. I know they aren’t TDS here, but they have been excellent to deal with. I prefer PP, and from the start had no issues.
I think with a new strap it’ll be next level. Loving it!

You could have, I just asked them to swap from the leather to the rubber. It was the same price.
Next time! Still learning. For some reason w PC, I didn’t know if it was an option. Thanks
Thanks for the pictures, but can you take some more pictures to confirm if the lume is flat and slightly recessed or is it bulging out of the cutouts for the markers? Thanks.

It’s not usually an option per se. But with pretty much any brand rep that has multiple straps if you just ask the TD to get you the one you want they will. Sometimes it might cost a bit more but not a big deal to get the strap you want.
Under a loupe, I can see the cutouts and the lume is slightly rounded but not bulging out of the cutouts. With naked eye, it does seem ever so slightly bulged but it's an optical thing.
Will try again with the photos

It should be bulging up a bit right? Hence the name sausage dial. I’m supposed to get mine tomorrow, I’ll try to take some macro shots when it gets here

Congratulations gentlemen now that we have this pics it is obvious this is the most accurate zero out of the box. The points I base this assertion are:
Case design and construction (look at the bezel!)
Lug attachment position
Crown thickness
Crown Guard shape (including pin finish)
Excellent Case Back engraving
Supernice dial with clean (almost flat) lume application
I'm ordering one, as a final note, the only mod I will do to mine is to service the movement.....
