indywatchguy Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just purchased off eBay from reputable seller for my Noob V4 AP FC. I've never seen anything gen AP in real life. Can anyone tell me is this gen? Markings are bolder crisper and rubber feels slightly softer. Thanks!

thedonsl Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 28mm strap? Put it on your rep JF and there should be a slight gap. If there is no gap then it’s a rep rubber strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonbaylee Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Slight gap between the edge case and rubber strap near the lugs. "There are more than 1 road to Rome...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercar Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 How much did you pay for it? It will probably give you an indication if it's a rep or gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably give you an indication if it's a rep or gen No that's never an indication on the bay when someone's a thief. I paid $300 which is a steal. Brand new sealed is $500 and up. Just did the test above and it's gen! I don't like the gap so back it goes. Thanks.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSlight gap between the edge case and rubber strap near the lugs.

Legend Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Looking at the straps, they are as gen as could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks I didn't know that. Unfortunately I'm no modder or Watchsmith. I can do very minor work i.e. strap or battery changes. Don't know of any CONUS modders. After comparing the straps I don't see a huge difference, not sure it's worth the hassle of getting it modded.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprolexlover Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I had a gen rubber strap but didnt fit the Noob V4 very well, maybe I bought the earlier V4 which they have not updated the case. Gen strap doesnt go with JF, you wont be able to fit them in directly. Not sure what modifications one will need to do. The difference between gen and rep rubber is tremendous, the gen rubber will get glossier and the grain effects will become more prominent after some wear. The rep rubber remains rough and matte with little grain. The gen also has a deep black colour compared to rep rubber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
