Yachtmaster Grey Dial 2016 by Noob

[innocenti]

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

Have a grey nato on the way so will see how it looks but really would prefer a bracelet.

I can't decide between the blue and the rhodium... So I think I'll get the Noob rhodium and try ordering a separate JF blue dial stand-alone as well as the red seconds-hand, so that if ever I get sick of the rhodium I'll swap them out haha.

Does anyone know on what basis the JF Blue
Dial is better than Noob ?

Yup it's been discussed before and I also did some research. The Noob blue dial has way too much purple in it, whereas the JF blue is more accurate, has a deeper blue. It's beautiful. I will insert some pics from TD, I'm sure without me saying which is which, you can tell Noob or JF.
Noob is more purplish.

Unless im mistaken Ive had a look at Toros site and his Noob looks
Blue to me ?

IMO if Research is based on photograph alone
Then its probably not accurate enough.

Nope it isn't just based on photography. It's a fact that Noob's blue is a bit more purplish in hue. But noob's rhodium/grey is fine.

Am waiting on mine as well.

There's a separate thread for the other platinum dial yachtmaster, that's beautiful as well. But the consensus is that Noob has a better rhodium/grey dial and for blue, you could get a Noob SA3135 and get a JF dial to swap it.

 

[Robb]

It looks im just not going to buy nothing until manufactures get it right with Yachtmasters & explorer issues
One has good this the other has no good that.

Great info hear. Thanks everyone

If the Blue dial on the JF is better than Noob why select Noob
My advise from TD is to stick with 2824-2 or 2836 and JF is fine
I think when they make the whole buying process
Easier to select then I will buy it and many more.
