Legend Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Mr Z Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share 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 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
