wright267 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 OK, so I am in the market for a new submariner replica. I have done my research as to what is what and where to get them from etc... So which would you guys choose? The Noob Sub or the JF factory Sub? Opinions, reviews of either and comments welcome :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themannier Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi and welcome I had many NOOB submariner until the V5 version, and she is very well made ! But, today, i would try the JF for the following reasons: - The correct height of the sapphire above the ceramic bezel; NOOB is too high ! - The clasp is a real beauty; it's rounded where it has to be and sharp also... The brushing is excellent according to the pictures i saw on differents Truted dealers sites. - I like very much the bracelet; the links seems to be very well made and i think there is no space between them. - The solid end link has the correct lenght, it is inside the lugs... The SEL on the NOOB is too long and just arrives at the lugs limit. - It's hard to tell from the pics but i think also that the cyclop on the date is better, but i am not sure ! Well, i would be very curious to buy it and to see it I know that JF makes a great DAYTONA with one of the best finish you ca find, so i guess their SUBMARINER has the same quality manufacturing quality ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wright267 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Ok, that sounds like a pretty positive answer! Noob it is :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright267 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Currently rocking this bad boy bought fromDHGATE for about £80... It's a pretty good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Noob is a no brainer. I just received both. Very disappointed in the bracelet with JF. The bezel action is amazing though in the JF but sub is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I haven't tried a JF but the Noob V5 are hard to beat they all have their pro's and con's just wish they could sort it out between them to get everything right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright267 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah, I have discovered the Noob watch website and seen that they are now on Noob v6... I might have to plump for one of those! The one I have seems to have a lot in common with the Noob watches... And I think it might actually be one looking at everything else in the forum and on the websites etc. Thanks for your replies guys :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Scam site.Noob factory does NOT have any website.They are just pretending to be them.And, by the way, they are at v7 now.Look for the v7 sub on any of the TD site like InTime01.co or tb-688.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssouthall6 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Some absolute garbage advice on here.1. Forget these nonsense links and stick to the trusted dealers listed here and over the road at the other sites unless you want to pay a fortune for a canal street standard rep2. For ceramic sub the best version was the noob v6s. Sadly it's nigh on impossible to get one so you are stuck with the noob v7. It's still a good rep and light years away from the crap you get on dhgate. It's also better than the JF.3. For 5 digit sub it's TC every time. I can't remember if TC is a trusted dealer here but he is on repgeek.4. Use the search facility on this site.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile_mimile Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 JF factory is in my opinion pure [censored] Sub as many others ! Never try to clip off the bezel ! You'd be disapointed... What are these for holes on the case ? This is to simulate the work of the click-spring on gens and good reps ! The bezel is unseparate from the glass ! Of course it is definitely out of work ! Here is what JF sells as a sub rep : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phener9 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have a Noob V5 and I highly recomend it, close enought to gen appearance and solid quality. i am very happy with it. Recomended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonep Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm looking to get a Submariner also and I had a couple of questions. 1 - How is it that some people say that the noob V6 is better than the V7? Usually as versions progress they get better. 2 - I tried to message TC and he isn't taking messages and on his discussion about subs all the pictures and videos don't work. Any idea why? Are there other people who does what he does? 3 - Regarding price. Is it just marketing how some website hype it more than others? I am looking for the latest noob V7 (assuming that's the "best" available). Some sites are at $500 others are $350 or so. Can you just confirm with the website if it is a Noob V7? The Noob V7 has the engraving on the crystal, platinum paint, etc. Are some sites mentioning more info and better at "selling" the watch but they are the same? 4 - Also, I asked before but is it better to have the clone 3135 or the 2586? Sorry for so many question but I just like to get as much info/opinions as possible. I decided purchase a Breitling Skyland Avenger from info on the website and it's a very good rep (as far as a beginner can tell although the clasp could be better) so like real opinions. Like I said it's hard to believe what the websites say of course because they are trying to sell their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawagner Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Don't have an answer for 1,2. It seems TC is on hiatus for now. Not a clear message anywhere when he will be back.3. Some sites differ due to the movement. You basically have 3 choices for noob. Asian (a2824/a2836 depends on sub vs dssd). Asian SA3135 ( not the same and not as desirable as the Yuki, only the new JF's or a custom build will come with the yuki) or some sites offer true Swiss ETA 2824/2836. The true Swiss movements drive the price up.4. With noob I would opt for the swiss 2824/2836, unless you have a yuki or gen 3135 you are planning to swap out the sa3135 for.

mrsoundman Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 For starters the Noob v7 is a 6-digit sub (116610) with a Ceramic Insert. And if you are into this model the V7 is great. Suggest contacting BK via PM or checkout his sub-forum. TC sells (or should we say "sold") a 5-digit Sub (16610) with an Aluminum Insert (among other differences). The JF that was being discussed above (this is an old thread) was the JF 116610 that was developed a while ago and pretty much sucked. (IMHO) However, JF has just released their "TC Killer" 16610 lv Sub (Green Insert) that looks really excellent and comes with a SH3135 which has been confirmed in many forums to be a Yuki... The 16610 ln (black insert) is supposed to be released in a couple months... So, If you're interests lie in the 5-digit Sub - I would suggest checking out the JF 16610 Sub. Unless you get a TC via M2M - you could be waiting a long while. ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was actually thinking about getting another 16610. I sold my old mbw a while ago. I saw the JF on Andrews site and it looked good but I wondered why it was $408. The BP 16610 is a bit less but looks good also. I wonder what movement that would have. Are the normal Asian 3135 not very good yet? I'd prob prefer a nice real Swiss movement if available. It's not like I'm going to be opening it and looking at the movement all the time anyways. I've been out of touch in the watch world for a few years so I don't know much about the current Asian 3135 movements but it seems like the Yuki is the one to look for. I might get the JF and swap in a black insert. I like the maxi dial markers. Dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssouthall6 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 The JF is miles better than the BP and the sh3135 a better movement than the sa3135Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonep Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Everyone discusses the Submariner with date. What about the Submariner without date? Submariner 114060LN SA3130 or SH3130 from JF VS Noob V7 Are they essentially the same as the 116610 but different movement without the cyclops? Same faults?
