Moondustesp 136 Posted December 3, 2017 Had my noob V7 a good few months now. It’s the sa3135 version which touch wood has been faultless. Maybe because it was sent straight to Rolie for a once over. Rotor is silent, winds lovely and only gains a few seconds a day. I lubed the bracelet which definitely made a difference and the watch has great gen like feel to it. Visually the watch is very very well done and finish is superb. The only criticism of this watch is how dark the platinum colour is on the insert. Overall I cannot see how anyone would be disappointed with one of these they are definitely a Super rep. Even “non” rolex guys like these. Whats next? Enjoy it, this watch is perfect for any occasion and one of the most comfortable watches around. I would love to install a genuine insert and crystal to really bring the watch to the next level but i really really don’t want to get into collecting parts for a sub c franken as things will get out of hand and before I know it Ive blew half the genuine price on some parts I hope are real. Anyway a few pics http:// http:// Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted December 3, 2017 Thank you for this review ! You're right, I'm a non-Rolex guy and this is a beautiful watch ! For the dark platinum, maybe doing as Nikosaldente did, seems easy and quick : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGilli 1 Posted December 6, 2017 I never used to be a fan of Rolex - but the more time I spend looking at a watch like this - I can see why it has built such a following and inspired so many other brands... Very handsome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Griffo 6 Posted December 13, 2017 Beautiful watch. Is it just me or do the platinum numbers look lighter/better on this one than others? New V7s perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's been some discussion about new batches of these, some use the V7s nomenclature (as used before on the V6 and V6s), and some are using V8 (which is not, as it's the same watch). Probably NOOB has been using different suppliers for the inserts and some of them are slightly brighter, but none of them bright enough. To be fair, the numerals brightness change dramatically according to the kind of light. With artificial light and on dark environments they look reeeally dark (essentially grey), whereas on natural daylight they look fine. There are several good tutorials on how to paint the numerals to get them slightly closer to the genuine colour. And there's a guy over at RWI that performs a similar process to what Rolex does, platinum-coating the numerals with incredibly good results. (Alternatively, @ROLIE painted the bezel on mine and it looks awesome) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moondustesp 136 Posted March 12, 2018 Still loving the watch and still running like a champ but the bezel numbers are doing my head in so it may be off to @Rolie for some bezel number painting at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
