Lovely watch panarai!
@ck TC will come out with some decent 16613 parts soon. Have already seen some pics of it. If you are not in a hurry you might want to wait for it
I am going to use a serviced Y3135. Otherwise TC movt. All depends if I am going gen with the dial.
And the hands I have now are for the gen movt. so only fit The y3135. If i use Tc movt. I will have to buy new hands and DWO.
I will use the TC as a base. Maybe gold plate the bezel assembly myself ( a friend of mine is goldsmith) or buy the one from TC/janeto , already saw it but not out yet. But first more money ;-)
Hi Guys,
I am working on a TC 16610 to 16613.
The progress is going slow.. very slow simply because the funds are not there at the moment to collect all the right parts
These are the parts I bought so far, according to their sellers they are gen.
Can you experts give your opinion??
Thanks a lot!
The minute hand looks bend but that's just the picture, its straight as an arrow
Does it really matter? They all have their own models from different factories. Before BP came with rolex models they all had Noob, now with this great BP collection some choose BP as their stock brand. Probably due to demand or margin or relationship with the concerning factory.
Btw. Andrew is still saying noob factory will close by the end of this year, which I still find very hard to believe..
I am very interested in the numbers on the insert. They don't look as deep, but will probably be good because the "normal" black GMT IIc are also deep enough
mmm just got confirmed from andrew that it is a blue ceramic insert and the black part is painted...:-(
You say there is no difference with lume.. But when you look at the pictures there is very visible difference between them.. One is more violet, and one more green as the noob exp II super rep
There is a gen GMT insert+bezel ring on the bay now for €471 buy it now.. So no bidding. I can't link it here because I found it via my app on my iphone.
Maybe something for your project

Second batch has thicker insert font, is confirmed.
And looks like the sel is also tighter but that could just be some lucky guys who have just received their 2nd batch Noob sub-c. All of them had a better sel. We are talking about three so far so could just be lucky
