childishthing 1 Posted November 11, 2016 This is to be a reference thread combining other people's reviews of the various versions of this watch. I'm in the process of doing some research myself, so my plan is to continue to add to this thread... As this is a pretty new watch, there are very few reviews out there. Please PM if you've seen a review I should include. (I know I saw a photo-thread of a Noob, but now I can't find it) BTW: WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR POSTING REVIEWS FROM OTHER FORUMS???

pamman 0 Posted November 20, 2016 they look really neat. although as a previous poster said the dial color is slightly off. unless you put the 2 side by side it would be hard to see im sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikohublot 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Is it possible to install the rhodium dial and hand stack into a TC Yacht Master (and relpace the clasp) ? Because tc just produce the older models YM but i want a Rhodium one with TC Quality . Is there any logical problem which i missed ? For example case build or other differencies? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snook 0 Posted February 14, 2017 I'm pretty sure this is the previous YM but with new dial and second hand. Love the color combo though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrroboto790 0 Posted February 18, 2017 JF is recommended, but the new NF one is looking quite good. Any comparisons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirSan 0 Posted February 22, 2017 The tc is definitely the best one. But I can't find it in this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time taker 5 Posted January 2, 2018 I'm looking to pull the trigger on the 2824 noob version but I read about an issue with the bezel and insert. I think it may have been to do with a gap around the insert or a gap between the bezel and case? I've searched high and low for info but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction pls?

RAO 0 Posted February 6, 2018 Hello. I am also in the market for this model. Any tips or trusted dealers you think are best to contact? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmQue 18 Posted February 15, 2018 From what I have seen, the noob bezel on the SA3135 model looks way sharper than the JF which seems very dull and bubbly. The noob does have a somewhat noticable small second hand circle. Im probably gonna go with the noob 3135 since i do want the as per gen time setting rotation direction.

revstriker 0 Posted February 17, 2018 How's the ARF version compared to Noob and JF? https://puretime05.com/yacht-master-37mm-268622-arf-1-1-best-edition-gray-dial-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-a2824.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiulioTanzo 0 Posted February 18, 2018 I'm not an expert but from what I see the biggest "tell" on the noob version is...the crystal? I mean with a better crystal and maybe swap the bezel inser we would have something really close to a super-rep? Hope i can get some expert opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been able to find many wrist shots of the 37mm but it might be my next watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
