I have sold the watch since my last reply to this thread, it ended around 34k usd at an auction,

I am now looking for a good rep of 116710blnr, any suggestion ?

from H factory

Enjoy !

here is one more, I promise its the last one ... hahaha .....

this thing look so gorgeous on the 005

005

doesn't look like OP asso either with the 24mm end

looks like a rep asso ?

How do you like this strap on the 390?

here are a few more

appears to be written or stamped, not engraved on this one

Help me decide which one to go with the 390 ...

there are quite a few at or around 6k bnib, very tempting

Is it worth pulling the trigger at 6k ? or just stick with the H factory :)

How much are they going for now ?

That watch is falling like a stone in the gen market. People figured out it is just another handwind in a fancy box. It is pretty though.

but you know how the Boutiques are, you don't just walk in and say I want a 000 and expect they have it in stock

well if they had a 000 then I would buy both in a heart beat, but they want me to bundle with a 320, i heard too many issues with the p9000 movement,

btw, the 390 here from Boutique translates to roughly 4500 usd tax included, much lower than the US Boutique price

hahaha sorry you guys can ignore me if you want

I knew I shouldn't have picked up a gen to compare with, now I can't stand looking at the lume on my Noob, here is a pic I just took of my gen dial, the lume is almost like a sandwich in a different way.

I got the 390 call from Boutique about a month ago, they want me to bundle with another watch on their showroom, i declined.

the 390 i saw was 9xx/2000, they are still plenty of chances if you are willing to bundle with another Pam

177 indeed, an really old version I bought back in 2005-06

here is my EL 127, how does it measure up to the noob ?

a better shot of the gen dial under a different lighting.

you can see how the lume is applied, flush with the dial

Noob on the right, Noob case is just a tiny bit larger compare to gen

I've never had the pleasure of handling a Noob 111J. Which one is it in this pic?

Fit and finish: you can't beat the gen on this, you simply have to have it in your hand to feel it.

Dial: the Noob double AR makes it easier to capture the dial, it appears darker on photo, the outer AR does scratch easy.

Lume: lume on the gen are flush with the dial, Noob lume has a slight sausage effect.

Caseback: font is a little thinner on the Noob

CG: see for yourself

Conclusion: 111 maybe a better choice if you want something closer to the gen, the sandwich dial shows less flaws

@Relaxman, what's a v1.2 ? so there is a 3rd variation besides v1 & v2 ? is it on his website ?

looks like the v4 i have with updated pearl maybe ?

Hey Gio,

That looks real nice, hope the bezel paint is as good as the noob V3, paint on the v4 bezel just isn't very consistent
