I'm not sure what else we can comment bud, your dealers pics aren't the best to make an informed decision. It's a $250 rep it's never going to be perfect, hopefully Ale will chime if its another members views that will set your mind at ease. Curious thou, what was the views on Repgeek? I seen your posting there!

Just got my noob v3 from Toro. I have to admit that I am really impressed. Originally, I had orded an AP v3.5 Diver...but lost interested and swapped for the 111 with cash back. Toro was very quick with this process. For the price the finish is amazing. I obviously realize that there are small details that make this far from gen...but to be honest...it looks gen. It is astonishing that you can get a watch for the price...let alone a rep! In the last 5 weeks I have picked up the Rolex SSD and BP Sub C reps and the quality of the 111 noob v3 is really astonishing....my 2 cents.

Hi PAM Consulting Team,

Would need some advise on the qc pics from my dealer. Seems to me that some of the movement screws are rounded top instead of flat top and the swan neck gap is huge.

Only thing I can see is the micro screw@ swan neck is no where near touching the regulator, other than that looks good

Hi kr_

Your watch semms OK

Concerning SN gap. Surely your watch was running too fast, then dealer or maker moved the regulator lever to the SLOWER position (correct way). Since the Noob screw is always short the tip of the secrew doesn't reach the regulator lever.
That happens in all Noob regulated to Slower position.
No worries about, that doesn't affect the correct working of your watch!! If you move the regulator lever until it touches the screw your watch will run Faster and will gain time.

Only if your watch is losing time you could move the regulator lever to the Faster position.

I've searched and didn't come up with a definitive answer. How bright is the lume of this rep compared to, say, a monster or SKX007?

I've seen upside down incabloc on Toro's site as well.

Is that something all the dealers stock? If they can produce the correct shape for a clone (albeit upside down), I'm sure it will be done correctly for future versions. Promising stuff!

In a gen the Incabloc ring Y shape usually is in the side of the regulator lever, but it can be placed in any position without problems.
It is just an esthetic matter
