Noob insert is still king. Well, a flawed king, but king nonetheless. If only they do a proper batgirl insert..

Wonder if ARF will ever make one. Or maybe CF will take a shot since their bezel inserts are great.

Let's keep praying.. :praying:

V9F hasn't come out with theirs yet right?

Completely agree. Noob is king. Looks and feels very close to a gen Rolex in terms of overall aesthetics. cyclops is decent (not junk like ZZF) but swap in gen or black-hole aftermarket and it’s good to go.

I have this exact Noob GMT but the Pepsi bezel just seems too dark. Even in your pic, it seems too dark, is that just me???

It's not just you bro, the Noob Pepsi insert changes color pretty drastically in low light. It really needs direct very bright light to look right.

Thanks! Was there any changes from when the released this newer version last year to now in terms of the bezel color?

No change in colors at all. The newest batch predominately has a much worse transition point at 18. The red goes up to cover nearly all of the oval holes in the 8. There should be no red at all in the 8 holes.

It’s too something. I don’t even think that it’s too dark as much a sits just too brown. It could just be semantics (brown and dark) but it’s definitely too much of something.

Yup colors are rather off still, but it's still the best ceramic pepsi insert we have.

Although I must say that after the first batch, the red color is much more homogenous and uniform. The earliest batches has a gradation in color from the inner diameter to the outer.

Yes, will contact them tomorrow. It still have "on hold" Norway.

IDK what the best approach to dealing with customs is in your country but in the US we don't try to negotiate after a seizure. We avoid all contact and don't admit to anything. Good luck, I know firsthand how much this sucks.

Don't answer the door if it's delivered by a couple of guys in blue uniforms, lol.

Sorry, just kidding bro. Seriously IDK what to tell you, customs are different in every country. In US if a package is seized and inspected that's it you won't ever see the goods if they're not legit.
