I had noticed a thing here as in my previous V6S compared to another V6S I had here at home. Inside the bracelet hole to pass the spring bars there is a burr processing that is not removed from machined.

In sub V6S with recessed sel that i has this burr was not present but in the sub with sel flush this burr was present.

In this case it was hard to remove the springbars from the bracelet, while the other sub with sel to a recess the sprigbars was off smooth like butter.

After I had removed the burr inside the hole in the springbars it flowed perfectly and the sel were low now.


I had I noticed this burr processing is also present in this YM with sel flush bracelet, and that its springbar is hard to remove, as the old sub with sel flush.

So I will try to remove the burr, because the bracelet of YM with recessed Sel (like my old V6S with recessed Sel) hasn't this burr.

Ok let me know how it goes.

Dunno if the difference is good visible on the pics. But here's a try:

left rep crystal, right gen crystal

It looks like you change the second hand .. And bolded the yacht-master writing after you install the gen xtal ..
And that's great

Ah nono, that's just due to lightning and filter. Just changed the crystal to gen.

I have ordered a Yacht-Master too. But there was someting wrong with the SEL. I have asked for a better example, but now they switched the bracelet.
1st pic is the one who was mounted on first place, 2nd pic is the new bracelet.
They are not the same.....The crown is different. Which is the good one, whta to do?
Thanks a lot for helping.
@smoke maybe?

Pilworx, look at the oval in the crown.
Is this a noob bracelet, of maybe JF, its different from all noobs I've seen. Maybe it's a gmt bracelet?? I don't know, but it's not the same as in the first pic.

It's not only about the difference, it's about the question: is this the right bracelet!
Is it a Noob and is it from the 2016 Basel model. I think it could be a piece from another manafacture/model.
Thanks for helping though.

yes it's noob, yes, it's the right bracelet. this is not the hobby for you. save your shekels and get the real deal if you are so worried about that 1 micron. you will find minute differences on gens too. you keep getting your dealer to switch out watches for things that only you can see and they will be refunding your money and you will be going through the same thing again with another dealer. i don't mean to be abrupt with you but there is so much of this type of behaviour from noobs like you that pretty soon the dealers are going to nix this entire qc pic thing and then we all are going to be receiving the watches blind.

Pilworx. Show me the difference between noob and JF.The crown is obvious different from all Noob 116622's i've seen.
This is how I can learn, dont call me a noob. it's childish bro, just help me if want to get rid of noobs. We are here to help each other.
I just don't want te get screwed paying a lot of bucks for someting which it's not okay.
As far as I can see it's a JF bracelet, I just dont hope it's one, or maybe worse; a bracelet from a cheaper or older version.

calling out posters who are bemoaning microscopic illusory problems on rep watches is not childish. this is becoming a plague on this forum.

Here is a better pic. It's all about the question: Is it a Noob bracelet of the latetst prodcution, or does it is another manufactuer like JF of maybe a cheaper version?
Does anyone recoginze this style of crown? It's 100% different then all noob's on the forum. Also the innerclasp engraving is different in thikness, I don't post that pics yet because Pilworx will get an heartattack.

They are both noob.the tds are getting pissed off with forum members refusing watches for things like that.now the tds are saying 1 watch only you better accept of take a refund unless the issue is blatently ovbious .a refund takes 30 days .soon tds may even go as far to say no qc pics at all.the noob v6s has 4 different flip lock logos.I've got 2 noob ym both logos are slightly different. The clasp and sel codes are the same
