Given they are not back yet but there are literally dozens of new factories popping up which must mean it's open season again, I think we have seen the last of Noob and VSF.

If you didn't get a VSF Sub (or a Noob Daytona), it looks like the boat has sailed. I never got a TC..

Owned several tc’s, you’re not missing out on much lol

I changed an existing order for a VSF 116610 due to VSF's uncertain status. If and when VSF replicas are available again I'll reorder. The hobby continues....

Their 116519 is fucking spectacular dude, one of my favorite reps

This. To say Noob made no good reps is complete nonsense. Their Fifty Fathoms and JLC Navy Seals Divers are also the best released.

It's true that Noob recent releases have nothing in common with some of old Noob's glorious reps, but on the other hand replica's overall quality is on a higher level today.

Anyway, it seems we won't see how Noob evolves in a long time, same for VSF.

Yeh possibly, but its now on its way to Nik, to overall and get it all corrected 100%. I was wishing mine came correct like yours.




Now that will be one fine looking watch once it’s been plated by Nikz. (get him to nano coat it to protect the plating). Once yours has been plated by Nikz you can put it alongside a gen and it’s impossible to distinguish between the gold colour.. Nikz plated my 116613 and I’ve been been sat with 2 people with gens in the last 10 days and there is zero difference to the naked eye…….
can’t wait to see it when you get it back

China doesn’t give a shit about threats from American warships let alone a Swiss watch maker telling them to stop making reps but who knows mate, The situation is too deep For me

My understanding is that Chinese buyers were being scammed. VSF/Noob watches being sold by chinese ppl to chinese buyers as gens. Am I wrong?

In France a lot of cases of peoples having franken Rolex sold as genuine. Cases and parts were VSF and movement was genuine. One of the biggest watch collector was on tv blaming Rolex on selling movement for being put on fake cases with fake parts. must be one the reasons l’association des horlogers suisse targeted VSF.

Interesting. How does a TC compare to a 16610? Are they not comparable build quality (for a rep)?

A few TC haters here and there but the fact remains he made the most accurate (NWBIG) rolex sub for the 5 digits. The KH dial is/was amazing. Quality wise VSF is on part with TC for their respective models. I own 3 VSF subs and 2 TCs and have had rquite a few if each. Won’t be selling these ones now as looks like they are gone for good.

Does any other factory besides CF and VSF make a 114060 No Date Sub with CORRECT CGs?
