Yachtmaster Grey Dial 2016 by Noob

[gtac01]

Received mine and it looks great but it has a few issues. The wobbly SELs for one but I will try to use the tutorial smoke shared to improve that.

The two other issues I do not really know how to solve:
1- the bezel is a bit lose and I would like to make it tighter.
2-the rotor is a bit lose too and it seems like it is hitting the case when I shake the watch, I know how to tighten a rotor on a normal movement but on this A3135 there is no central screws, any tips on how to tighten it would be appreciated.

Are they all coming like this ?

Current batch comes with wobbly SELs and that wobbling causes a space between SELs and case in time. Pretty annoying and Noob kinda screwed it up this time.

Looks perfect, which TD ?

Perfect??? Onestly, I wouldn't accept it...

Because of the misaligned crystal? Or did you spot something else? I am usually not too picky with QC pics

Crystal and indices on the dial, the 12 and 9 seems crooked to me.

just got mine! has experienced a problem. sounds like something is strange with the watch, like the rotor is loose? it is a NOOB with SA3135. has several sub with SA3135, but has never experienced that rotor rattles like that .

Hey, I have the same problem as you, did you find a way to fix it?
I checked inside and nothing is detached. It's just the rotor that rattles and hits the case but I have no clue how to tighten it since there is no central screw.

I heard that Ken from chazingtime was aware of recent watches having "movement problems", i guess this is it ?

I removed the rotor and put it back properly and while I was at it I tightened the screw that holds the automatic winding part of the movement and the problem is still there!

Apparently several people with SA3135 movements had this issue, not only Legendeen and I.

While searching for a solution I found this thread:

https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?sh...cillating-weight-problem.354903/&share_type=t

I was going to send it off to my watch smith for service put from reading this thread I think its is not a fixable issue...

Beautiful, may I ask if this is the Noob A2824 or SA3135?

Although I have ordered sa3135 already

Mine fell off the wrist yesterday after a link screw fell out (checked on arrival and re tightened only a week ago)

Freak accident but then got run over on metal deck. Heads ok but need a strap - are noob bracelets available ?

Only other option I can think of is a grey NATO.

Are you able to send some more photos of the dial ?

Thanks! It's beautiful. Wear it in good health.


Both the blue and rhodium are beautiful pieces, go with whichever that you like. Noob did a great job on both for the case and bracelet. But if one is going for the blue, i reckon it's a must to get a JF dial and get it swapped, as well as a Datewheel. The blue on the noob is just wrong. Whereas the rhodium is good to go right "out of the box".

Is Noon aiming to release the lady YM, same model?

I would be keen on the 37mm too.
See if anyone can chime in.

I had the same problem with a Tudor bracelet. I used Loctite[emoji768] Threadlocker Blue 242[emoji768] to solve the problem.

Wasn't Smoke like "the" Rolex expert whom everyone referred to and consulted with?
(I'm not a huge Rollie guy)

And I see from his post a few weeks ago that he is now banned?!?
What happened there...?!
