jcrystal23 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterer9 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi, The problem with this watch is the bezel, painted, engraved.. the good size of numbers... I wait too the answers from the rolex's experts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I thought only bp had these out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetmuffin Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffindodger Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I thought the GMT does have green lube or is that just the standard GMT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 This one has blue cromalight as does the latest green hand gmt2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So who has Noob brought it out with green??and the clasp looks poor up to their sub clasp that is the best clasp on a sub you can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is based on the old case set hence cheap price. stick with the lateet green one for best spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live1 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 the noob is based on the new case and it good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I see pure time has one that they are showing as the JF which appears to have the blue lume. Who makes the JF version?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrystal23 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 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?

watcher Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) the noob is based on the new case and it goodAre 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.

jdkno Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 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. So are you saying there are 2 noob versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I just think the clasp on the Noob looks crap upto their sub clasp that is near perfect.Not sure why they would chuck out a clasp that bad and green lube when it should be blue.

GenTLe Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Green lume on Noob and Blue on JF. Does anyone know which is accurate? This is the gen one (photo courtesy of watchuseek): This is another less exposed shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrystal23 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 the noob is based on the new case and it good 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 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. 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...

live1 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 the noob batman green lume is a bad mistake,but can easily be relumed,its also using the same case as the lated noob ln gmt2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorz Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 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.

agb Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 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 Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
