The two 12 o'clock markers, the right one is higher than the left. Seems like a common defect as seen on some other QC pics.

You can push it so that the dagger touched the screw. However, you will need to recalibrate the watch timing. Only do it if you have access to a timing machine or a watchsmith that can do it from you. Also to open the case, you need proper tools. So if you do not have the tools, better dun do it. Get someone with the right tools and skills to do it for you.

Actually the Noob looks green from pics. But gen is also quite green.

These watches are as gen as a rep watch going to get. Worth the wait. Somehow, the noob factory does not like to supply these watches to cartel. So to get one is not so easy.

Isnt the size kind of small compared to the gen? Totally inaccurate and I am wondering how are they going top cover the gaos between the movement and the case.

Both are H factory. The edge of the inner cutout for the CG is rounded whereas Noob is more angular. Also Noob has a thicker and more yellow font on the dial.

The SL SSD has a slanted lugs. Seems like the CNC is not calibrated properly and lugs are slting to the right at the top. I have one in hand it is very pronounce when you see one in the flesh. Stay clear of the new SSDs, unless you can stand slantedcase/lugs.

Is this a noob or h-factory?

Looking good... Suede strap looks very nice as well.

The rep fairs poorly in this case. I had 2 of these, one white and 1 black. There is a huge gap between the case and the lug. Until they release a better case, I do not see any point modding the rep.

Looks much better than the 359 proto posted. No CG yet. Not sure if they will screw up the CG just like 359.

Send it back and asked for a new piece. Wait a little bit and it will be less trouble for you later. But whatever the dealer tells you, they will probably simply replace the dial and send it back. Do not accept this type of slip-shot quality the dealers send out.

Real alligator skin is really visually different from the rep leather. Love it.

Sweet, is that a gen AP hornback or custom piece?

Definitely not as bright as sandwich dial. But for sausage dials, i cannot be happier with my 005... Glows even when you enter a building during a sunny day...
