Qwertt 0 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm quite new to reps, but from what I've understood the cyclops and date magnification on Rolex reps can make the watch a less accurate replication. Would you recommend me to buy the no date version instead? I will buy Noob V5 Submariner (and wait for no date version if this is likely to be a more accurate replication). Thanks.

kennycoder 97 Posted February 27, 2015 I think that yes, it will be more accurate, especially considering shitty craftsmanship when it comes to DWO alignment, cyclop gluing and so on. But some people cannot live with the date :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted February 27, 2015 Less to fuck up usually means more accurate. Date wheels are one of my own personal bug bears: white wheels instead of black, wrong font, wrong positioning of the window, misalignment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 248 Posted February 27, 2015 I think the cyclops is just ugly no matter how well its done. One of my 2 issues with rollies. The other being too much writing and stuff all over them. Though the noob v5 sub does look nice and sparkly, and have to confess I'm a teeensy bit tempted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dhistory 0 Posted February 28, 2015 Gazzla's review of the 116610 is awesome. I got a pm from Toro to expect his 114060 in about a month. I'm a sub fan, but crystal height and the slightest height in all rep cyclops drive me nuts. It may have just been my paranoia, but my gen 116710 help me realize the difference between rep and gen cyclops can be spotted at an angle a few feet away.

dhistory 0 Posted February 28, 2015 I haven't seen a noob cyclops, but compared it to a TC I have and a cheapie sub. IMO, At a profile angle, gen cyclops curves sooner compared to reps that I've seen that seem to be flat/tall before curving begins.

nuttcrac69 2 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I suspect it would. It will also pass the "guy at the next table checking it out" test. Also probably the "young poorly trained salesperson" test Edited February 28, 2015 by nuttcrac69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted March 4, 2015 From 25 feet away I can always tell it´s a rep because of the center hole on the seconds hand. On the other hand if I - like many others - would see a ceramic gen sub without a date and a cyclops, I could automatically think a.) it´s not a rolex and b.) it must be fake because it´s got no cyclops and not even a date....... :lmao: Like with all reps, it will depend on the specific sample You get, meaning how well centered are the engravings, is the pearl etc. etc.. . The Noob V5 is excellent and impressive as a watch - the best ceramic copy made until now - and that´s what matters. If You like it´s looks, get it. Wear it with an unspoiled pleasure and enjoy all that´s good about it - without digging into any of the tiniest details it´s 5 times the fun. There are enough other "must-have" no-dates already: PAMs, the Blackbay, of course the vintage subs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
