Maybe it's the Marketing that cost the extra $20:biglaugh: more like a Noob factory relocation fee:facepalm:

I think you are right sharrkey !!

Anyway, let's hope all current replica chinese industry problems, custom issues and authorities pressing finish with 20$ of price increase in each replica!!

Thanks

I am not sure if anyone noticed this. I was checking photos of the incabloc on the net with my noob 111n.

Obviously the incabloc is wrong, as there is no 'Y' shape to speak of.

Interestingly, another object caught my eye. I have no idea what is it called. Looks like a spring for the incabloc, gold in colour.

Please refer to below images.

The direction of the gold spring seem to be different between the gen and noob 111n.

Not sure if the gen have it all set in the same direction or not? I am guessing it does not matter. It is just a shock protection device.

I check a few Gen pics online.. all showing the the spring opening facing away from the needle.

Need expertise from ALE ...

Thanks for this observation
Usually the gen and the most of the reps have the Incabloc spring instaled like you are indicating in the gen pic.
But this has no importance because it is the shock absorber spring of the Incabloc system, and its position has no inluence on the shock absorption.
In the same way you can change the position of the spring if you want.
No worries

See the Incabloc website to get more info about that:

My QC pics:
I got a very few pics, should I ask for more tagged pics ? (my pics are not tagged with the order number). Also this is my first TD deal, and yes I know QC pics are not to be discussed but looks like this thread is an exception, with that said:
this is what i think:
Panerai "I" is misaligned, bit lower than the rest of the letters, I have asked for straight up back pic. So i have a better view of the letterting and the Swan neck screw gap
Swan neck screw looks ok from this angle.. thoughts?
Also the CG pin looks recessed (dont seem to be normal) thoughts?
the CG roller ball is also not visible
do I have the right to ask for more pics and at better angles for my satisfaction ?
any feedback or input will be highly appreciated,
Thanks.

Most of the Qc pics that I'm seeing the crystal is what seems slightly raised, even mine are the same, I'm not that concerned as I have a crystal press. Suppose time will tell, I'll hopefully have mine by Monday will know better then.

Sharrkey is your crystal press the same as below

What are the steps to press the crystal?

Will take a couple of pics of it when I get home, it's nothing fancy, just bought it to replace a crystal on a Hublot.

Best to check out the serial no, that's what I've been doing, none of the Qc pics that I've seen match mine.

Quite a few seems to have the I not lining up 100% but remember these are macro pics so in real life I doubt you will know the difference(if your wanting perfection here it's Gen you need to go), Cg pin is recessed on the underside no worries there mines the same, hard to tell on the swan neck screw till you get a better front on shot, but from this angle it's ok, as for Cg roller ball you will need to get a better pic of the Cg

Swan Neck Noob V3- NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Hi friends

I'm going to repeat this matter another time

NOOB FACTORY V3 version HAS CHANGED NOTHING IN SWAN NECK OR IN SWAN NECK SCREW.

The current Swan Neck devices form Noob have the same defaults as previous versions:

- Lack of tensile strength in SN spring
- Bad shape of the end of SN spring (near the support)
- Short micrometric screw

Then, if you have or not gap IS a MATTER of LUCK, like in the previous versions.
That will not affect to the running of the watch and it will be visible only with lens.
PLEASE don't expect from the PAM 111 N V3 from Noob any improvement at this regard

Therefore DON'T REJECT THE QC PICS OF A NOOB WATCH DUE TO ABOVE MENTIONED FLAWS. This was always the same in the Noob SN, and in this NEW version NOTHING has changed concerning Swan Neck and screw.

Nowadyas Dealer are taking the movement QC pics from an angle which doesn't allow to see the Swan Neck gaps, because they are affraid of the massive rejections. That is not good for us and maybe it will turn into an increase of prices in the future.

We will study, of course, the pics and we will discuss about above mentioned flaws, but IMO it should not be a reason to reject a Noob watch.

If you don't like these issues from Noob, BUY an H maker watch !!... or better a gen !!

Sharrkey, when you have your watch and try to press the crystal:

Could we have a little tutorial from you ??
Even in a separate thread if possible

That would be very much appreciated, because many people are interested on this subject

Thanks for your kind cooperation

Who did you order from Fordystar? If Toro then if it's the same shipping as me, mines already in the Uk and winging its way to Bonny Scotland, and it was shipped on Friday:popcorn:
