Rolexman Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Its so freaking confusing! 1 watch, from multiple factories, and then there are different versions among the TD's... Indeed. To recap... There is a Noob v1 (currently crazy sale at Toro) Noob v2 (just launched at different TDs) BP (as know and reviewed on the forums) BP updated (old pictures at different TDs and not yet reviewed) Sounds right?

gmtlover Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Ok what I have read so far on the different forums. The BP is a great out of the box rep. - superlumed - great pearl - good case - good dial - great insert - ok bracelet and clasp - 1:1 construction, largely interchangeable with gen parts The noob V2 - superlumed - great pearl - great dial - good insert, BP seems to be better because of "deeper" engravings - perfect bracelet and clasp, guys who already have one say it really feels 1:1 with gen. Top quality - it claims to be 1:1 made like BP but we will have to wait until someone tries that. So to sum it up, both reps seem to be of a very high level, I dare to say super rep, a combination of both seems to be perfect. But we need a full tear down of the Noob V2 for further details and to see if it is really 1:1 build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 for me the 1:1 construction isn't important, its a nice plus, but Im not going to franken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemark Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (QC pic from RWI) Pearl looks amazing, good pair of hands, and both the rehaut engraving and the bezel line up perfectly with the dial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjji Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 But we need a full tear down of the Noob V2 for further details and to see if it is really 1:1 build. its rigth gmt, but there is a problem for those who want a sub-dial c NO DATE. it does not exist noob V2 NO DATE, yet. So we sub -c nodate lovers have to go with no date noob "classic" with fat hands (no prototipe V2) or Bp. maybe this is better to have less choice and consequently less thoughts to choose i'm convinced for bp, but I have seen many pictures of noob and its dial looks soperfect .. shining like crystal. but it has issue of so fat hands. this thing stops me. ??!!

irolexu Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hmmm... I wonder why Vac replaces both the cyclops and the dwo, and relumes it when buying a bp sub from him then... He must supply a better looking cyclops and DWO then factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

live1 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 andrew sells the bp insert on his site.it wont fit the new noob , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live1 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) and why do u need bp hands,the noob has a small hour hand now Edited July 27, 2013 by live1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 andrew sells the bp insert on his site.it wont fit the new noob , I know the old one didn't fit because noob didn't have gen bezel construction. It has now with the V2. So it should fit, and otherwise maybe with small mod. But they are both gen construction now so it should fit. You are correct on the hands, they adjusted that on the V2. If Andrew sells them separately then I am going to order now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
