Super nice. I just ordered my noob v2 SD. Trusty is running a special- we'll see how it looks when it actually arrives.

And... after reading this many stinking pages- you may be right. I can't keep up.
Still- Awesome price for the v2 Noob, and I'm a happy camper. It just showed up today.

@ Nikkorbot - that fast? I ordered one as well from Li at JTime for same price. I can’t wait! What’s your first initial review/impression?

Deeboo- I received my QC pics on Monday 9/16, verified and approved the watch that night, and literally received it via DHL on Friday 9/20. I'd call under 5 business days pretty fast. Andrew at Trusty just rocks!! The close up QC shots had me worried about the SEL gaps, but- in reality it's pretty tight and I'd chalk it up to lighting/shadows. Lume colors are the correct blue and consistent. This SD has so much more presence than my Tudor Pelagos. It's really quite the bargain and just spot on- and I'm just loving it.

So- this one is the 116600, and I think I did get it right- the Noob v2 was the last version of this Sea Dweller at 40mm. The Noob v8 is the Sea Dweller Deep Sea.

Whoa nice! Man, i’m stoked. This truly is a great bargain. Although it looks to much like my noob v9 sub, i’m sure i will enjoy it plenty. Hope my QC comes out as good as yours. You can’t beat $238! I like the fact that there’s no cyclops so never have to upgrade the crystal haha

I am very happy my pics are still there, such an amazing watch, I kept it for almost 9 months, the only rep I had for so long without modding or being a TC.. fast forward almost 4 years ago I am left with 2 reps only (TC with gen parts and 16613 with many gen parts) and 5 genuine watches 4 being Rolex... such a journey that started from here and the affordable love for the watches!

Pics pls. And I still think this v2 is the best Out of Factory Rolex rep (if it still has the 3135 movement)

So the v2 is out of stock and I only see the v7 with SA3135 on Intime page. Has anyone bought this v7 and what are the improvements over the older v2?

Thank you for putting this together!

I am newer to the forum and have been looking to purchase a couple of watches. Having a resource like this is very helpful in making an informed decision.

Thank you for all of your help
