By-Tor Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have the exact same "Noob" YM, and I think the date font isn't much too fat at all. Actually it's closer to the gen than the "thin" version... almost spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Finally a YM case where the crown is at the correct height! Angus... i think we have a winner here and this is the new case. The dial looks also much better than the Noob dial as the rolex print and coronet are placed better, the 12 o clock marker comes closer to the coronet which is correct as well. Superb Now i will need to like a YM... maybe we can also finally get a seriously good SD and Sub now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I found bold-font Gen as this. Here's another photo of a gen dial. Further proof that the YACHT-MASTER font isn't bold on all gens. Also notice the relatively bold date font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Any updates on the new YM? And the daytona, too?!?! I'm thinking we won't hear anything about anything till after CNY, but maybe Angus will drop by during the festivities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 the case looks damm accurate great work from factory... Also the Tube and Crown.... How about the Bezel assembly, is it like the real deal? I can't believe they took 904L for the case because it's damm hard to get.... And platinum plated for the Insert,I don't think so.... But how knows.... Sounds like we get some nice Rolex Reps in the future... By the way the new MBW Submariner has also different sort of steel ,but no 904L.... The Sub comes with Bezel assembly like the real deal... ... and engraved Rehaut like the new 2008 Submariner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid-air888 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wonder whatever happened to this YM version from Puretime? Is the current Yachtmaster offered by Angus this version? Just got the case and dial from a factory, saying this is a 1:1 Yacht-Master case, which will accept genuine movement, as I dont have a 3135 movement on hand and I did not try but for sure this dial does not fit an ETA movement (the date window is to the left of the ETA datewheel). The factory also says they use 904L steel for this case and the bezel is platinum plated, as I dont know how to test so I just skip them. Hope By-Tor and BK and other experts will comment on this. 200+ mails are waiting for me, I let the pictires talk. Front view, noob on top Side view, noob on top Crown tube, noob on top Crown font, noob on top Crown back, noob on top Close up side view, pay attention to the crown position, crown guard, bezel teeth and crystal height, noob on top Caseback teeth, noob on top Dial, noob on top, please neglect the missing lume on the noob dial and missing paint on the new dial, seems the noob printing is better? Dont know... Side view, noob case is slightly thicker, noob on left Side view, noob on bottom Lug view, noob on bottom, no engraving for the new case (the factory says because they are not allowed to make replica so they cannot do the engraving) Lug view 2, noob on bottom Caseback view, pay attention to the polished area, noob on left Sorry for the simple and unprofessional review, enjoy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
