Yachtmaster Grey Dial 2016 by Noob

I'd say it would be hard for the maker to fill the second hand lume with exactly half lume. Yet it looks full on a normal image. I agree it's the date bubble.

bracelet is flimsy...? noob as of late have been great at making very gen-like bracelets, what happened with this one?

My bracelet is very solid, after a lubrication treatment is even better.

One thing that I've noticed is that the crown of the clasp seems glued (I declined the previous QC before choosing my actual because there seemed to be an aura of "loctite- super attack" around the crown)

How did you lubricate the bracelet ?
And which oil did you use

Siliconespray or vaselinaspray or something else like these if brought into contact with soap and water will be removed.

I use a fatty oil for car competitions from Motul. This deposits a protective film of grease that is resistant to water and moisture, and also is one unlocking locked parts.

I should clarify the "flimsy" comment. It feels flimsy when I held the gen in the other hand. Without that direct comparison you wouldn't notice

The 'flimsy' bracelet is one of the very easy tells.
It was the first thing I noticed when unpacking the watch.
I have many gen rolexes so people don't expect me to wear a rep. Without telling it was fake I showed three people. All of the three immediately said there was something different/weird with the bracelet.

If you focus on SEL, datewheel, fonts etc. this watch is very good. But the overall appearance is way off. But only if you own a gen or are familiar with it.

I don't say a rep must be perfect. But when someone is turning down a rep by looking at very small details, they should know that the 'feeling' of this watch is not like original at all.

If you compare side by side this would seem obvious

So noob case + jf bracelet for the best option without modding. Noted.

Exactly my point. For modern gen Rolex owners it's an instant tell.

Has anyone managed to capture an image of the dial looking light grey? In the lights of the ad in Dubai it looked a lot lighter almost silver at times.

The dial does look quite light grey in some light. However, it is quite a difficult photographic task to capture it and at the same time defeat the reflection from the non AR crystal.
Best I can do

I have worn the genuine in the Amsterdam airport and the color of the dial was dark, just like in the first photo below of my noob:

Cheers guys. Just wanted to see how close to gen the dial is under reflection.

The rep dial is not that close to gen.but the main issue is the case has the wrong rehaut engraving for the rhodium ym being a new rolex release. That's why I got me the blue dial version and adding one of my jf sa dials. So it's period correct
