Legend Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 http://pureti.me/product/pre-order-royal-oak-offshore-44mm-ss-noob-11-best-edition-a7750/ Looks like Noob is not to be left behind, and following closely on the forged carbon 44mm ROO chrono release by Chanel J12 Factory, Noob has released both the stainless steel 44mm ROO (panda dial essentially) and also a black dial DLC one, supposedly a rep of the ceramic gen version. To be fair, the SS rep dial looks good to me, besides the usual date window placement flaw (a tad too far to the right), but I am going to wait for the release of the the same model by the J12 factory on both the stainless steel and rose gold models before deciding. I cannot tell if the crownguard assembly are media-blasted in the Noob rep, but the sandblasted crownguards are featured in the gen of the 44mm ROO chronos for the ceramic/carbon model and the SS model. Chances are this would be a necessary mod What do you guys think?
Legend Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Posted January 13, 2014 As a follow up: Can someone please confirm the color of the hands of the gen? They look black in some pics, and steel-colored in others. Thank you!

Mr Z Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 here is gen to compare the tapisserie .. .. why did noob but use the same as deep tapisserie like on there ss version !! and the media blasting on the pusher on all version .. should have used more coarse blast like all the gens !! i hope they address both issues .. on later versions !!

Z, thanks for the input.. just wondering: If you do mediablasting for the RG crown guards yourself after purchase, it would need to be re-plated with rose gold yes? Regards
Mr Z Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 Hey Buddy your welcome ... yes you would have to re plate the pushers .. media blasting will remove back to the bare metal !!
