Side by Side : Noob v4 Sub and Gen

Recommended Posts

smalla

Great review and it's hard to really see any difference in them. And people never get to see them that close anyway.

indeed, from the looks now, nobody could really call you out on wearing a rep with my sub... it is too close to tell, in a normal surrounding it will easily pass ...no worries about that..

I just received this from BK. It's the same as the v4 that Toro is selling according to BK but with his mods and QC.

 

What do you all think?

Yes I find a Swiss ETA is a better movement in an expensive rep. I have some Swiss and some clone and the Swiss are smoother

why are you not happy with the pearl,the noob v3 is the best rep pearl,and you cannot buy replacement inserts or pearls for the noob v3

It seems like there is less white pearl/lume material in the metal cup behind the transparent cover, when looking at it from the front it looks like the metal cup is much wider then it should be... Looks kind of peculiar

What's the power reserve like on the noob V4? if you take it off at 10pm is it still working when you get up at 8am and is there any difference in this with swiss and asian movements?

 

anyone checked if they're actually waterproof too? I appreicate these could be considered generic rep questions by a newbie but i'm looking at buying one of these this week sometime and want to know i can wear it like a regular watch and swim in it etc..

I had noticed that. That clasp isn't acceptable given BKs fees. The crown is not centerd and the fliplock's fit is bad. I've seen others way better and cheaper.

The rest of the watch looks great indeed, but to enjoy it to the max you need to change the clasp.

Northantsrich,

I agree I was disappointed in the clasp. BK said he is ordering more clasps so that should solve the issue. He said it was an issue with all of the v4 ones. Some pics below are what it was like when I first got it. It's still less than acceptable now but looks better after some manual bending!!

You can see on the above where the pin has bent the outside of the clasp and given it a wap.

SEL fit is the biggest tell for me, shame really as it's an easy fix.

 

just ordered a V4 from Toro, Hulk. Cannot wait.
