just received the noob 116610LV Green Ceramic V3.1
sigfrieds replied to sigfrieds's topic in The Rolex Area

It's the third noob sub I bought, and the most significant improvement is the bezel, the sound and the feel of the 120 clicks bezel is totally different with the previous version which released last summer, and very close to the gen 116610LN, the font of the bezel also been improved. the lume is same as the V3, not as bright as the explorer II, but better than noob's early edition. unfortunately the bracelet is not as good as the previous version, contain a small gap on the ear and a larger gap on the buckle,repalced it with the V3 bracelet, which works far more better. took some photos of the latest version noob sub, together with the early version 116610LN

bought a gen BB last year and ordered the repro last week, the gen bracelet can not fit on the repro, but the gen fabric strap fit it well, now just looking for a gen pearl to replace the current one, although it contain some problems, the rep BB is still one of the best repro tudor i've ever seen
-
the font is slightly thicker compare the gen, but the earlier description on P**time said the factory gonna improve the caseback soon
-
PS. the caseback also need some improvements, hope the V2 will coming soon to fix these problems the rep the gen
-
I think the pearl and the color difference of the lume are the major problems, and the golden edge on the dial looks a bit yellow compare the golden edge of the hands ( which running a bit brown, more close to the gen)

Tudor Black Bay (v1) by ZF. First impressions (pictures)
sigfrieds replied to slask111's topic in Other Brands Area
thanks for the review, just got my black bay this afternoon and compared it with a gen black bay purchased last year, there a 2 major problems still need to get fixed, first is the pearl, the shape of the repro pearl is different with the gen one the repro pearl: the gen pearl: the font on the case back is also need to be a bit narrow the repro the gen: the bracelet also need a lot of improvements, but certainly we can use a fabric strap to replace it. -
There was a rumor saying the V6 factory which making the HBB is a branch factory of noob, and they use the "V6" brand to beat the H Factory's HBB, so if the main noob retired from repro market, they might continuing support some "branch factories" such as the producer of the V5 diver and carbon 15706 to develop the new products. If they already invested over 10 million on the machines, there is no reason for them to abandon them instead of continuing producing some fast moving products to make profit. Maybe they just don't want to be too "famous".
-
I agree, the fantasy model diamond diver looks a bit funny and not that sporty as the 15703 or 06, but since the gold Ipone5S running very popular during the last few months, it might be a market for such things. For the noob factory, what I heard is, since they are going to produce the OEM watches for some brands, they will slow down their product development on the repro side, and many of the hot models (ROO) will be the discontinued models.
-
not yet, their latest product is the dimonds diver, seems they still need a few months to reproduce the chrono ROO's carbon case
-
the main problem of the V5 is the case running asymmetric in both sides, the left side is a bit thicker, when you compare it side by side vs a noob V3.5 or V4.1, you will see the difference

Noob's Rosegold black dial RO 15400OR.OO.1220OR.01
sigfrieds replied to sigfrieds's topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
The finish is better than the Don Ramon ROO I got, and similar as the noob 25940ROO dealer told me it is 10 microns 18k gold plating, but I still not have a chance to compare the color with a gen RO, -
Noob's Rosegold black dial RO 15400OR.OO.1220OR.01
sigfrieds replied to sigfrieds's topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
What I heard is noob Factory worked together with a new factory ( the diver V5' manufacturer) to made the new editon RO15400, that's why some dealer advertised them as "noob" product, but actually noob has slow down their develop steps during the last couple of month -

RO 15400 vs ROO 15703 group photo
sigfrieds replied to sigfrieds's topic in The Audemars Piguet Area
The 15400 will not running small on the regular size wrist, I think it fit 17cm to 19cm wrist well, but if for 20cm+ wrist, the ROO will certainly be a better choice -
It's amazing to know the watch is not made by noob, but anyway, here are the pics, lets checkout the difference

In my point of view the diver v3.5 ( v 4.1?) , 25940 ROO v2 and the new 15400 are the best 3 repro RoyalOaks ever been produced -
saw some pics of the new FC parts, which looks better than the previous version

Just got my blue dial 15400 RO, which is amazing, especially like the improved bracelet with correct decorated clasp. The seller said the noob factory worked with another factory to produce this beauty. Took some group photos with my diver V3.5, enjoy them
