rusky27 1,749 Posted January 27, 2014 I love these kind of reviews, Thanks for the work and effort you put in. this review will greatly help anyone interested in this type of PO. After reading up on your observations, The noob build with a more matt bezel would be my ideal for this. I think I read somewhere a guy matt laquered his pumpkin insert to good effect, not a noob one, but possibly an option if the shiney bezel is a bug bare.

hew1 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Nice review. If anyone is interested, links and link screws between the two straps are compatible. However, the BP pins are much thicker, and better quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maplebank 296 Posted January 28, 2014 Excellent review. Should help anyone still undecided which to go (I went Noob ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marressey 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Awesome review. Thanks very much! Made me finally decide to go for the Noobfactory one. Oh, if they could only fit in the BP dial *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wester_Special 0 Posted February 16, 2014 Does the Noob crpo only comes with the asian ETA movement or is the swiss ETA optional? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_xitsas 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Fantastic review, thanks for all your effort scavenger. I had my heart set on the NOOB version and started emailing the TDs to source this for me - then I got a very interesting reply from Joshua at Perfect Clones, as follows: " Noob copies the ceramic PO range from the BP maker in which thousands has been sold worldwide. How can a rep of a rep be of any good ? Go for the BP maker ranges.. It is the best made.. " I wonder what people make of this comment? Is Joshua just trying to push the product he has in stock or can source easier? Or does he know something we don't? I'd be very interested in hearing what you all think... Finally, does anyone know whether NOOB make a GMT PO or are those only from the BP factory? How do they compare to the CrPos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd view that comment from Josh as a load of old "tosh". As far as I'm aware, Omega make the CrPO, not BP. Nuff said ! I've also read somewhere, either on RWG or another forum, that PC (Josh) doesn't have the best of relationships with Noob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin195959 2 Posted February 23, 2014 Nice writeup but I'm little bit disappointed with your final words as you didn't mention which one is better, on the basis of over all feel. I'm afraid you'll have to make up your own mind on that one Personally, I like the Noob better for the colour of its bezel and it's lower profile on the wrist. The BP has since gone (and been snapped up) on M2M. Hi, does anyone know which crystal position (flush or slightly raised) is nearer to gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally, does anyone know whether NOOB make a GMT PO or are those only from the BP factory? How do they compare to the CrPos? Andrew and Josh has the best contacts with BP maker. But i heard from other TD's also that BP maker uses the gen to make a rep and Noob copies the BP rep. But i don't know if it is true. Ask Angus from Puretime and he will say Noob makes the best. If it's true it doesn't really matter since Noob makes very high quality super reps. Just pick the one you like the most. And Noob doesn't make the GMT. Only BP does.

thorny007 0 Posted February 26, 2014 Great write up! Are the dials the right shade of black. My older PO dial is too greyish I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
