Gentleman,
I like to ask a question here because I'm a bit lost. I tried to find it myself without asking but I'm not a Roly guy so better I friendly ask the Roly experts here and I hope you guys are willing to help.
I ordered a Rolex rep for a friend. He's not so into surfing the web and when I told him about the forum, the NWBIG list and my new 'hobby' surfing the forum, he asked me help to order a Rolex rep for him. I showed him a few options (watches that are on the NWBIG list) and he chose the Basel World 2016 116622 Yachtmaster Men in Dark Rhodium Noob Factory Best Edition: http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&produc ts_id=15543
The TD did a stock check, and the makers said that it was in stock so I placed the order. After that, the TD checked every few days but the watch couldn't be delivered because it wasn't ready (?) Now, one month later, it's still not ready and the TD's advice is to change to another factory or send me the money back. This is what she told me:
"Noob still hasn't sorted out their issues after getting seized, some staff not working for them anymore, some parts lacking for the watches, all that stuff causing their problems. China recommends switching to ARF or GMF."
Although I know it's for some people not holy, I did some searching here on the forum and choose from the NWBIG list for my friend because he wanted something close to gen as possible. Now I want to ask you guys, what's the best decision to make here, should I go with ARF or GMF? Only the NOOB version is on the NWBIG list so I'm a bit lost.
Extra comments:
My friend wants to do the Tomrep bezel modification and a bracelet polish, we are also looking into a crystal replacement and he's thinking of the Prof crystal.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
