I looking to get a GMT II Batman Blue and Black insert. Any thoughts on the differences between the Noob and J12 Factory newest releases? I have typically been a Noob fan, but recently got an AP diver V6 from J12 and really am impressed. Not sure which to get. Noob is about $75 less btw. Any knowledge of the watches would be very helpful.

I thought only bp had these out?

 

I was under the same impression, I bought a BP myself a few weeks ago. Great watch for the money even with it's flaws.

Pure time has both Noob and JF, which I believe is J12 factory. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

 

just go to new arrivals and they are one the first page.

 

Green lume on Noob and Blue on JF. Does anyone know which is accurate?

the noob is based on the new case and it good

Are you sure.....because the crown position is not the correct higher position the latest noob gmt 1:1 has nor does the bracelet or bezel look right. Edited by watcher

So are you saying there are 2 noob versions?

I was leaning towards the Noob, but the green lume is bugging me since the blue is what the gen has. Now I'm not sure what to get.

 

Thanks for the pics GenTLe

When I see these mistakes I always wonder how the heck the factories do them: we're not speaking about 1mm crown guard which can be a mess to reproduce, but a damn easy thing to check before production...

I guess I'm waiting for V2

Just bought the latest ss gmt2c from noob. If i didnt swap out the bezel and dial with a gen, i would rate the watch as 6/10. Really bad lume application and the bracelet is verrryyyyyyy wobbly and noisy even after soaking it in WD40 and gun lube. Very disappointed with this purchase. I shouldve gotten a BP.

I have got three bp s for mee and my friends.

I compared it with a gen of another friend

The case looks nice

Blue color of the bezel is brighter on the rep and it is a give away although numbers ar engraved nicely

Bracelet is a let down.. light and wobbly

But to be honest.. It is not easy to spot it's a fake without having a gen in your hand next to it.

Lume is blue 85% good
