1932polo Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Is the BP version is better (more accurate) than the BK? The search function isnt working for me on here so cant find any comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van_damme1988 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 As I do remeber, Andrew was offering ceramic bezels for both 116610 and 116613 for $25 i think. Just have a look at his site, in rolex accessories section i think. I can PM you link when i get back home if you still need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbig Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Which edition You will choose for buying black submariner ceramic. From Andrew or from PT http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10407 or http://puretime.co/product/submariner-116610-ln-black-ceramic-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/ thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Andrew as well as Josh sell the latest bp ceramic sub which is in my opinion more accurate than the noob v1 except of the glidlock issue but with some luck you receive a working one. But if you can wait some more time do it and read the reviews about the noob v2 which TDs are starting to sell at the very moment. It seems to be more accurate than the bp and for sure much better than noob v1. If you can't wait go for the bp sub from trusty or josh and enjoy it since its very very nice and take the asian eta it works buttery smooth (imo at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbig Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks sputim, I saw noob ver2, and I think go for it Which dealer do You suggest? Edited August 7, 2013 by zbig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I usually deal with Andrew but he's not in for the noob rightnow so I suggest to go with toro or puretime..both are TD's so no worries at all! Nevertheless I would wait for a review about the noob v2. A lot of members already ordered it so its only a question of short time until first reviews pop up!

zbig Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) some problem with ver.2. Date is not center position. too lefty so, I will buy from Andrew. In his sub bezel is black in other dealers is grey or go for this one: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_328_329&products_id=5775 Edited August 7, 2013 by zbig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 So go for andrews sub c bp with asian eta. I own this one and i can more than recommend it! Let us know what you have chosen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beone21 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 It seems the noob version was a bit overhyped and the BP wasnt so bad after all. Qualitywise the noob wins it, but I have a BP with noob clasp and I am a happy camper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks neat! Love my bp aswell but definitely need to upgrade the band..do you have noob v1 or v2 clasp and does the band fit the sel as nice as the bp does or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenking Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I am ready to pull the trigger and order the BP 116613 with wrapped gold mid links. Connie(king watch) told me that has been fixed the clasp slipping issue but can supply me a noob tt bracelet with clasp. Needed to buy it the noob clasp or isn't nessesary?

sputim Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hmm I bought mine about 3 months ago and there the issue was not fixed. Maybe it is now but you can never go wrong with the noob clasp since the quality is better anyway. Post some pics when you receive it! The bp is a keeper thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenking Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Connie confirms that the BP clasp issue has been fixed. Alternative can supply me the Noob 16613 bracelet as spare for $60,it worths to buy it?Hmm I bought mine about 3 months ago and there the issue was not fixed. Maybe it is now but you can never go wrong with the noob clasp since the quality is better anyway. Post some pics when you receive it!

sputim Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ok thats good news! Hmm I am pleased with the bp strap..nevertheless the noob must be a bit higher quality acordingly to a lot other members. Never saw it my own though. Moreover I am not quite sure if the SEL would be that great with the noob strap on the bp case..So my advice is to try the bp strap first and if you feel like you need a better one try the noob..many TDs are able to source it for you! And please add some pics when you receive ur baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfm67 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi all. I've been following this thread and was about to pull the trigger on BP with noob clasp from puretime. Could anyone tell me the difference between this selection and BK's sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipw1999 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hmm I bought mine about 3 months ago and there the issue was not fixed. Maybe it is now but you can never go wrong with the noob clasp since the quality is better anyway. Post some pics when you receive it! The bp is a keeper thats for sure I have a BP with noob bracelet fitted. The BP bracelet was OK but I could tell the noob was superior in more ways right out of the box. First, the BP feels less finished as the edges are sharper on the bracelet and some aspects of the clasp are intolerably sharp. Second, when closed, the fold-over part sits much higher and results in the clasp floating further away from the wrist. Very ungen-like. Finally, while the glidelock did work and ratchet to different positions within the clasp, it did not have the positive solid action of the noob bracelet and was more prone to slipping if, for example, you opened the clasp too quickly. The noob fits the BP case perfectly. Just slightly recessed from the lugs and the brushed surface matches the finish of the BP case. Zero lug gap or play after I wrapped some 2.0mm gen-sized bars with a single layer of cellophane tape. As we all know, lug gap issues are an obvious tell that plague many v2 noobs. Mine cost an extra 85 USD from my dealer. It's not cheap but well-made bracelets never are. A super oyster from Yobokies or Tungchoy for a Seiko would cost about the same but would not have the highly convenient glidelock clasp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray04 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Noob question. I hope it isn't annoying. I thought toro bravo was a trusted dealer? But he's not on the td link anymore does anyone know why? Also I bought a v2 sub Ceramic from him. Do different dealers have different qualities in there V2?

stratcat Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 These are excellent reps right out of the box. Honestly, it's VERY hard to notice any discernable difference. This is the nicest and most accurate rep oob I've ever had. Not sure why you would pay a premium to BK for this. To each his own. Great rep, though. I really had a hard time telling which is which.

sodall2doo Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I am wearing an 116610 BP purchased in the last 3 weeks, totally amazing watch other than the bracelet clasp ......

sputim Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 just ask a dealer to sell you the noob bracelet only. just keep in mind andrew and josh don't sell noob stuff as much as i am aware off. But pretty much every other TD should be able to source it for you. enjoy your bp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
