Which Noob V12 or V11 ?

[coolestrock]

Im hoping some rep experts can help, i bought this second hand and there is a dispute which version it is , going by the clasp code its 1NQ which comes back as a Noob V12 , its got a 3135 movement from what i can tell with the back removed. I was told the serial number going around the inside near the number 6 is wrong for a noob v12 , (the serial looks like its 63K8V748) , and that the crown around the inside at 12 is slightly off , which it seems to be. Trying to ID the different noobs is impossible for me to tell, i just dont want people i dont trust telling me its something its not, and i know more people on here will hopefully ID it

Thanks

I have no clue , what does it mean to have double engraved rehauts , im new to learning all this , sadly when I bought this, while I knew about different factories , what I didnt know were different factories making the same watch and having various versions, knowing it now I thought I'd better check this watch as it's way over my head , if it's not what the clasp code says it is I won't by second hand again

Well if you buy second hand, then just do it in the m2m section here. There are RWI staff that check those sales, and you always will get what u pay for

7K is V12

14 is V11

Thanks , I'm always learning , if buying this was a mistake then I guess it's at least I'm learning new things.

Does the 7k refer to the letters and numbers on the inside by the 6 position , in which case mine says 63k , is that right , if so what version is 63k , if not where do i look to find either 7k or 14 on the watch

You are completely right - this is the serial number which is engraved there.
Well, I am not sure which factory uses 63k in the beginning. You can search the TD sites and lookup photos if you really are interested finding "your" watch.

Can anyone shed some light on the 63K code , feels like I'm in a journey ID'ing this watch.
is there anything else that IDs a factory , is there an SEL code , does that require taking the bracelet off

 

[derjenigewelcher]

SEL Code is model code, 116610.
Go for the serial. browse model pictures on homepages frmo TDs.

I spoke to someone on Facebook who has a noob V12 , he showed me pictures and his hulk is the same 63k engraved around the inside , so it appears I've got a noob v12, engraving , clasp, SEL , all seem to be right.

Thanks for helping , no more buying on a whim for me , I need to be more careful
