GenTLe Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello gents, these days there are big discounts on the Noob ROO watches (see -> http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/special or at intime.co : all 42mm at 318 and all 44mm at 368$). Now I heard that, one of the differences is that J12 has a movement with added jewels that avoid the problems of friction, while noob doesn't... Is there any truth in this? Confirmed by horologist that worked on both of them? Thanks, GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Noob has no extra jewel at the friction point. That's a fact. J12 sec@12 movements does not have an extra jewel either but uses a washer to alleviate the friction. It is slightly more reliable than the noob movement as a result but still requires servicing to make it reliable in the long term Sent from Mars using tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks Al. I've around 45 pieces in rotation now, so it shouldn't be a big problem: they will be used like 10/15 days/year each one (I am getting a Don Ramon and a Safari 2014 Noob: the J12 are too expensive for a risky movement ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacuadra Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 i like the ROO safari. but I have a 7750 phobia I need to conquer. J12 is beyond my replica price budget. but a very nice replica watch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
