GingerApple 7,272 Posted June 13, 2018 The Noob smurf is one of my favourite watches (I'm a sucker for a blue dial). Great watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know you remember, but I told you when I first joined RWI that the PAM is 12th on my list!?! And the reason that I would own any PAM at all is thank to you. Here is my other watch box. I am working on a 56-slot display case for them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THXuk 0 Posted June 14, 2018 I'm going to wait for the V11, by that moment in time, noob should have got through all the parts in the random noob parts bin, that I actually end up with a decent v9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told him he can have any watch that he wants ... Guess what he picked ... No, not a Rolex nor Omega ... but a PAM ... He had been wearing the PAM380 for a few months now, until he lost one of the lug screw. He just 'returned' it and picked up my PAM572. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't anticipate the preschool dick size contest, sorry for that but happy that you finally got the answer you wanted ! Well thanks again everyone, I paid last night for a V8 Sub from Mary and shipping by EMS I went with my original thought.... Black face Sub (I had an original 20 years ago for about 3 years, which I sold to a diver in Aberdeen, Scotland.... Regretted it ever since, i've bought and sold $50 replicas on and off for 30 odd years, so a 'good' replica has been on my mind for ages.... I'm away for a weeks holiday for my Birthday with the missus, so I should be back in time for it arriving Just waiting on a QC pic, then it will be on its way.... I'll put a couple of photos up when i'm back and sorted out.... Cheers maxmix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got to be honest, I could barely tell the difference between them except the bezel on the ARF is better. The Noob will be improved massively by a paint mod, but it's a 2 minute, $5 mod that anyone with hands can do easily so not a big deal. The v8 is a very good watch. Once my ARF is back from service, I shall compare it closely with the v8, keep my favourite and sell the (ever so slightly) lesser watch. As I'm an ARF fanboy, I expect to be selling the V8, but they're so close in terms of quality, it's not a done deal. You'll be happy with any of the above I'd imagine. @TheGingerFerret and @Luxuracer want to ask you as ARF experts, I am looking for a HULK, so if price is not a concern, which one is the right choice between Noob V8, V10 or ARF V3?

GingerApple 7,272 Posted May 15, 2020 I think the best at the minute is the latest ZZF actually. Might want to search for that as I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan24 0 Posted May 15, 2020 So finally who has the best HULK - this is an epic topic! This tricky green appleish colored bezel turns my mind, I wonder if black subs fans have same heated talks on who makes perfect black bezels) "I think you have to decide whether you want a really great green watch that doesn't really compare well with the genuine, which to me means it can only be worn in situations where I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be around any Rolex aficionados or Hulk owners." - like this thought of mate from other forum. Ranking looks as follows 1. ZZF 2. ARF 3. NOOB here is a good discussion too https://www.repgeek.com/rolex/295373-arf-vs-noob-v9-116610lv-cant-mind.html .

OJHorology 352 Posted May 15, 2020 I think that ranking is pretty similar for the black subs - love the zzf I got recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
