smalla 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Hi, i just got this in from toro , it is the Swiss NOOB V4 black sub I did a nice fotoshoot to compare it to the gen watch (same lighting, same camera) first of: - rep is very good - nice build quality - good look and feel - everything seems about right - the new bezel mechanism is very close to the gen (gen clicks are a bit higher) - the bracelet is very nice - the new pearl finish is excellent - very good lume, same as gen no difference to tell when in dark (exact colour) - date change is ok (at 5 min to 12, so bit early) - the new rolex engraving on the chrystal, is nearly invisible (maybe even less than on gen, so very very good) you cannot see it without a magnifying glass and the right angle - weight is exactly same as gen with same bracelet size (withing 1 gramm) Differences: - the dial markers of the gen seem to be a bit bigger, i think not really the diameter but the white gold edge is thinner - the chrystall is slighty higher on the rep, maybe it is possible to push it in a litle more, but i will not try that - the rehault engravings on gen a a bit crisper - al the rolex logo's on the gen have bigger "balls" (but then againg compared to gen GMT it was about the same, so i guess depends where gen dial comes from - the waterproof 300m on rep no spacing between 300m on gen 300 m (but also here compared to another gen it was the same so i guess rolex uses different versions of dial as wel a very nice watch in my opnion, not cheap but if you see them side by side, hard to call out the 7000 euro difference ;-) nice job noob fact!!! and thanks to toro!!` here are the pictures... if you see 2 watches the GEN is on the right if you see 1 watch the rep is the ons with the "spare" link let me know what you think!! rep gen gen rep in same position bracelet that's it folks...

Vreds 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks for the comparison man. That is a seriously good rep! Even with the gen right next to it, it's hard to see the differences. Well done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plankton 1 Posted June 6, 2014 Damn close are they not!! I little bit of finish work on the bezel (depth of paint), some finish work on the crown as well. No one really could distinguish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bassem06 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Very nice rep. As a matter of fact about the crystal situation it is a very easy fix. I had the same issue with a watch i had. All you would need is knowledge on how to pull the bezel off and if you can find a forum or a HOW TO.. then you can adjust the way the crystal sits easily.

machiavegli 6 Posted June 6, 2014 Love the pics! Smalla, just want to congratulate you on reviewing a new Sub with so many avid Rollie fans here (next door at RWI they did a "best sub shoot out" over a year ago that I think ran to nearly 100 pics). Two of our rep makers (BK and TC) have dedicated years to making a near perfect rep of this. I'm so intimidated by the devotees I wouldn't have had the stones! One detail I think Noob doesn't get perfect in most of their reps is the serif, font, font width, size and raised look of the genuine datewheel (DW). I wonder if you think they have improved this or whether it could be improved with a TC DW overlay V3? Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machiavegli 6 Posted June 6, 2014 He describes it here: http://blog.tc-sub.com/2013/05/project-update-tc-dwo-v3-completed.html $32 shipped in US when I got one. -Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacsha1 0 Posted June 6, 2014 The sheen on Gen is just lovely. Lol can noob use the same SS as rolex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormyNight 0 Posted June 7, 2014 Rolex use at least 3 different dial makers as far as I'm aware. This v4 is a beauty and might be just what the doctor ordered! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
