patrickm500 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 There's a post over on RG in the puretime forum where Angus is saying he just talked to the Noob factory and the V2 is close to being released / proto pics. I think he's trying to get more info now. This is great news... if its true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I can confirm that the actual AP Diver has been improved : the caseback is correct now and the crown at 10 is a screw-in crown (you need to unscrewed it to turn the inner bezel)...so now only the flaw of the date window remains..

The 10 crown should also be bigger. Remaining flaw aside of the date window is the wrong case (too tick and too narrow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The 10 crown should also be bigger. Remaining flaw aside of the date window is the wrong case (too tick and too narrow). All the flaws on the V1 in a list: - Datewheel is white (should be fixed now on most of the V1's) - Case and bezel too thick - Metal surrounds on markers too thick - Bezel screws should be slightly recessed - Round date window - Some rehaut markers are too thin & the lume filling of the stick markers is too thin - Caseback engraving is totally wrong (should be fixed by now? though the caseback detailing could be better, the Driver replica has a great caseback like this) - The printing "Audemars Piguet" and "300m/1000ft", "AUTOMATIC" should be printed on a separate plate - The crown at 10 o´clock is wrong as well and should be bigger....it should only show an engraved ring around it....the rep now shows an edged/step-design. - The crown at 3 should be slightly bigger as well. - A tiny detail more....the endlinks will not be smooth with the case but stand out a bit, saw that on many gen ROO´s now and the rep looks way better hahaha. - And one more tiny detail....the gen DIVER does NOT show any gasket on the caseback (between case and caseback) like all the other ROO´s!!! These are the flaws Theo and I discussed about. I don't know if there are more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 can only second Edges words......but anyway I am so close to just give up waiting and buying the V1.....only need to know from witch dealer? Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutima Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 With Angus talking about the now ready Noob factory V2 yesterday, I may just wait a little longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
permabull Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Somehow I don't think he has access to information that Jandrew or King don't (and both of them say there's no news about a Noob V2 release)! We can live in hope I guess, but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerwine Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I recently bought the V1 from King and I love it and embrace all of it's flaws, as it just looks beautiful to me. rogerwine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannou Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) The 10 crown should also be bigger. Remaining flaw aside of the date window is the wrong case (too tick and too narrow). I have ordered a new case so I will post some pics I send it to Uwe as you can see... I bought it from King Edited June 10, 2011 by Yannou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
