I still believe it's pretty good and closest to the 1st version

To me it looks like the GMF is better. None of them are right though.

great watch..great movement..dial looks decent and the red looks good ( still not as accurate). I would marry the Noob insert to this VRF watch and make it an MK3 pepsi. Noob still has the best insert..but it's not worth paying the big price tag for an insert. The GMF insert looks great but the poor design and transitional line doesn't cut it for me. I don't have the VRF watch but the transition looks bad (speed bump)..also the insert engravings look like they are starting to fade already..or is that just the light..take a picture of it in the sun or true light

Noob numbers and transition are great. But the colours are still ass. Wrong is wrong.
Hopefully ARF / VRF / GMF will get it right, or Noob will improve their insert, construction and not have that dog of a movement inside.

out of interest, are the crystal & case the same as on the black VRF variant?

maybe great colors but transition on 18 between blue red is bad

some were good..some bad...unless you have eagle eyes.. you can't see it (look at the first picture)... plus my eyes are trained to look at the overall insert at a glancel..and it stops at speed bumps and transitions because it has a rough texture and literally a line that separates the two colors...obviously...all of these colors are still off

this watch is like the hulk and batman..too hard to replicate..no one will get them right..

noob and gen batman

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.

Does anyone know if the VRF will take the Noob insert? If so where can you get hold of one. If it’s a no can anyone recommend a provider who can tidy up the VRF bezel to look closer to the Gen? I have one in order and want to get the bezel sorted as they aren’t the best IMHO

A Noob insert is $668 on Puretime - it comes with the rest of the watch. That is the only way.

There isn't really anything you can do to a VRF / GMF insert. I've tried applying an overall dark lacquer, and then a paint mod to the numbers, but it wasn't as good as I hoped so took it all off.

I bought 2 bezels from noob, about 60€ (not trust dealers). Here is GM a cheap version with 316L steel and bezel from noob watch. Looks pretty good.
