Received this as the latest Noob 005. Any comments what version or transition model this is definitely?
Thx ALE7575 for your inputThe crown obviously is FAT V3
Crystal is not completely narrow bevelled but good enough
CG is correct but CG pin is a bit protruded
Bezel OK
Mid-case seems a transition model V3 to V4, The shape of the lugs is correct, but V4 usually has better defined contour of lugs joining the case and the distance between the lugs and the cushion shape edge is a bit higher
Dial: I cannot see the lume structure to decide about the version. Seemingly it is old structure, but cannot say it definitely
ALE
I couldn't capture the dial but it is definitely recessed. it is much better than my old 005 sausage dial.
Looks like new h fac to me.
Obviously the stem should not pop out of the watch. You need to open the caseback, insert the stem properly and tighten the screw a bit more.
