Submariner Noob or BP Factory?

[live1]

andrew sells the insert separately.but everybody seems to think the bp insert is impossible to fit to the v2 noob

[ceocorona]

Yeah ill just wait for some reviews/comparisons and then pull the trigger. Hell maybe ill wait a little longer and wait for a TC 16610LN!

I'm waiting on that long awaited TC TT Sub

The entire bezel assembly is the same. Both gen constructed. If the insert won't fit then one can always just change the entire assembly..

please try and fit it if u do make a tuturiol ,because.i made a thread on rwi they all said impossible mod.

This is evolving into a really great thread with valuable info. It is becoming more and more clear which Sub-c has which strong and weak points.... Helping the decision making a lot!

Thanks to all the contributors!

Busy on ordering the BP, then hopefully I can still buy the noob and see if these two are able to put together

why dont u buy the insert its 25dollars

[gmtlover]

Because replacing the whole bezel assembly has a bigger chance of succeeding

It's nice but insert is wrong;-) I want the BP insert

[live1]

im putting my bp endlinks and bezel assembly and insert on my noob v2,super rep status

[gmtlover]

No more stock. The new batch should come with updates supposedly..

[philipw1999]

How does the lume on the noob v2 compare to BP? Anyone know if the lume has been improved for 2013? I understand V1 has rep quality lume while BPs are noticeably better.

 

To me, this would be THE deciding factor since I'm a lume nut.

[gmtlover]

If that would be true.. But what if all other things would still be better on the noob would you then still pick the BP? How about picking the best overal watch and then if nessecary just do a relume ;-)

No. Buy both and combine into a perfect Sub-c.

[gmtlover]

Only for lume? I know there are other things that combined would presumably make it better but this dude is only talking about the lume ;-)

There is a second batch coming of the Noob V2 because the first batch is sold out. They say the second Batch is with improvements. But the only thing people are and can complain about are the insert markings that are better on BP. But that's really it. Otherwise it is perfect

[markiemark]

What are we little girls discussing about? Go gen, it doesn't have any flaws as far as I am concerned

[van_damme1988]

I thought they were selling BP inserts separately for $25. So what are we talking about? When i come back from holiday i am checking the stocks and placing an order for noob v2 (or wait for new batch)...

[gmtlover]

Everybody is saying insert won't fit. Have to replace the entire bezel assembly. Of course you can always try. Haven't seen someone actually try it. I am waiting for new batch. If it isn't updated the I will assembly swap

[markiemark]

You know what I like when a new watch comes out? First its all crap, too many flaws, other versions are better etc etc. And now its only the bezel!

[gmtlover]

Correction, only insert

[derik429]

What dealer are you guys ordering the Noob V2 from?
