KeNnY 29 Posted November 25, 2012 Love to see it on your wrist mate, its still a very nice watch. How is the distortion of the crystal on this one? Crystal distortion is pretty extreme, I haven't been able to find a good gen pic for reference (and I don't recall from the last time I handled one!), but from about 45 deg. it's very distorted... Overall I'm happy, like I said. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk WOW the Pearl is fucking fantastic ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shandroid 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Looking good on your wrist! It is a substantial watch. Distortion and refelection of the crystal is the reason for me i do not wear it much. Maybe i sent it out for a AR job, saw some from other members who had that done, and it looks great to see a dssd like there is no crystal in it. Know its not gen like to AR it. Thanks mate. Yeh, I've considered AR already, but I kinda like it the way it is. Weird, I know.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looking good on your wrist! It is a substantial watch.

Hey Kenny, Yeh, definitely happy with the pearl - this is rarely the case for me, so it's worth mentioning that I haven't taken it off my wrist since it arrived! I like it a lot. Another weak point (that has already been discussed) is the lume application. I requested new watches until I accepted this particular one when we did the QC, based on how lumpy the lume dots were. This one was a MASSIVE improvement over some of the others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWT 0 Posted November 25, 2012 How is the bezel feel? noob factory bezel was always sort of loose feeling! Wobbled on all that I have felt including my BK DSSD :( ..... so has that been improved upon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It still has some play, but I'll compare with my BK when it arrives and report back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galy 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Pearl and triangle are really amazing and in my point of view the dial is very goof too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shandroid 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Pearl and triangle are really amazing and in my point of view the dial is very goof too. Even the insert is among the best ive seen. It's definitely the best value out of the box version so far. I'll get some nicer shots of it hopefully this week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shandroid 0 Posted November 26, 2012 Gen on top Pearl and font Dial font and layout 8 & 9 o'clock markers Crown and CG's Overall, a great effort. Some 1%'ers that could be improved, but it's safe to say you're not getting called out wearing this watch. Shannon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted January 10, 2013 Surely there is a new noob version around the corner given the release of their new explorer recently and others soon to be released I can agree that ultimate combination of Noob Case set 1:1 with this bezel, pearl, hands, dial, etc would be best of the best watch to find. but so far this Unknown factory released best Subs as well, so we will see.. Noobfactory didn't upgrade their DSSD in long time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
