irolexu Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Hey guys, I recently bought a V2 from a local member and I must say I am thoroughly impressed. Case shape is spot on, bezel rotation is smooth, crystal height is perfect, dial is very crisp and the luminova looks fantastic and holds charge, pearl is unbelievable and the SEL is great although not perfect. I have owned the gen and this watch just feels like the same watch! It already has a few mods like platinum paint mod and cyclops aligned. I'm wanting to do a few more mods. Any suggestions? Also I must say this V2 is like owning a TC 16610 in terms of perfections! Few pics. 1
sputim Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Damm it definitely looks spot on! Should I really sell my bp and go for the v2? Or is the bp still very close?
irolexu Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 BP is good because we were comparing it to a V1 when it first showed up but honestly the BP isn't that great unless you mod it. It comes 9/10 times with way to much date mag, crap buckle, overly tightened bezel and a poor clasp writing. V2 model shows that they really paid attention to detail. There is no curviture that is sloping off to the side as per gen like BP has instead the lugs are flat and slope down really giving the watch a nice squared up stance which is a very strong gen like feature in case design. Everything else has been fixed compared to BP 116610 such as good date mag, nice AR, great glide lock clasp, smooth bezel, etc. 1
chango Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 I have to agree with you. I have a noob v2 and I really like it--and this is coming from a guy that isn't really into rolex watches. Rep or not its a very nice watch. Only problem is that the DW came loose inside and hopefully can be serviced. If not, I'll order another one.
live1 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 nice sel on this ,normally the sel is slack

chango Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks. I sent it off to him. Hopefully it can be fixed. I handled a gen 116610LN today and realized that although the v2 is really nice, it's still a bit different from the gen. The thing that grabs me immediately is the bezel insert. The gen engraving is so much sharper and deeper. I also realized how necessary the platinum mod is.
sam1977 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Ordered mine a week ago, then ordered the 116610LV yesterday. Looking forward to both!
ceocorona Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Noob crystal is good, but the gen AR'd crystal would be a welcomed addition. Of course this depends on your cost vs value plans for this watch.
payhomage Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 I just ordered a Noob V1 the other day, its in the mail on its way to me. What should I be expecting? I feel like I should have bought the V2 instead....

payhomage Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 It's not available... pure time told me they don't have it available for another 2 weeks... Who was I supposed to buy it off ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
ceocorona Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Lol, would I be crazy to suggest waiting? Heck, even ordering from TDs and actually accepting the watch could take 4-6 weeks.
irolexu Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Posted October 16, 2013 Very true. The v1 is a fossil compared to the v2.
ceocorona Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 Very true. The v1 is a fossil compared to the v2. I agree...
payhomage Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 So.. I'm stupid for buying the V1?? I can return it right away!! Let me know......... Damn,,,, if anyone is selling their V2 ill buy it for the price you bought it for!!!
irolexu Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Posted October 16, 2013 It's not like your buying a canal street watch don't get me wrong the watch is good but in this hobby patients is everything. If you can't snag a v2 and they stay out of stock for awhile you can opt for the BP version which is constructed the same. If you can return it or turn it down and use a credit just get a BP and ask if your TD can swap the bracelet for a noob strap. (My TD did this for me once and it was an amazing fit) good luck!
ceocorona Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 If you regret your purchase it is not fair to the seller to request a "refund". You will see many sales threads that are "Catch and Release" AKA I do not like this watch here it is for sale..

This is true if the watch has shipped but hey if your in the QC stage then I think it's fair to say you can have them switch it
ceocorona Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 This is true if the watch has shipped but hey if your in the QC stage then I think it's fair to say you can have them switch it Its from a M2M sale... Lol
