ghoststar 0 Posted February 18, 2014 I recently saw that this watch was now available on Puretime, so I emailed Francis to get a review. Francis has always been very helpful and up front with me. His response was very clear: it is not very good. Here is the link to the watch: http://pureti.me/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v3-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/ Basically, when I asked him what his thoughts were on the watch, and that I would buy it if he thought it was a considerable improvement from the V2 that came out in the fall of 2013, Francis said that the consensus was that the V3 is actually worse than the V2. Has anyone bought this? Can anyone provide a quick review as to why the V3 is sub-par? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghoststar 0 Posted February 20, 2014 So basically the green is wrong? On the V2 I'm guessing since the V3's haven't been delivered yet (although the V2 and V3 seem to have the same color green)? Once someone gets it, please let us know what is wrong with it. For a Puretime upper eschelon like Francis to say that the "consensus" on the V3 is bad, it must mean something.

Care to educate the lesser experienced members and those with interest on why, the V3 is the best sub. Can you/have you compared the V3 with gen? Not pissing on your chips, just genuinely interested.

He isn't a "friend" of mine. He isn't some dude I happen to know. He is the guy I buy reps from. Of all the people in the rep world, there are probably only a couple others who have closer ties to the Noob Factory (the factory which made both the V2 and the V3). So you have no clue what you're talking about. Especially considering that you have yet to see the V3 for yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact remains that you are simply a hobbyist, like the rest of us. Francis, however, is a top guy IN the business, and works closely with Noob Factory. So I think it's time you stop.
