Hi folks, as the title suggests, this isn't a review I initially planned. It's a culmination of several parallel projects involving various Rolex replica models, specifically focusing on the Noob factory's output, which led me down this rabbit hole. My aim is to provide a comprehensive look at the Noob V9 GMT Master II, drawing comparisons with other models I've handled, including the Noob Submariner 116610LN V9, the Noob V8/V9 Submariner LV (Kermit), and even a Regmariner Hulk, to offer a broader perspective on Noob's quality and consistency. This won't just be a simple overview; I'll delve into the details, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses, to give you a realistic picture of what you can expect from these popular replicas.
My journey started with a keen interest in the Rolex Submariner. The iconic design, the robust build, and the inherent prestige—all factors that drew me into the world of replica watches. My first foray was with the Noob 116610LN V9 Submariner, a model praised extensively within the reptime community (as seen in my contribution to r/RepTime). This experience set the stage for my subsequent explorations.
My review on the Noob 116610ln V9 Submariner:
The Noob V9 Submariner 116610LN was, to put it simply, a revelation. The improvement over previous versions was undeniable. The bracelet, a frequent point of contention in earlier replicas, felt significantly more substantial and better articulated. The clasp was smooth and secure, lacking the cheap feel often associated with lower-tier replicas. The bezel action was crisp and satisfying, with precise clicks. The lume was bright and even, lasting well into the night. The dial was clean and well-printed, with incredibly sharp text and markers. While not a perfect 1:1 replica, the overall impression was one of remarkable quality for the price point. The only minor criticisms I had were a slightly off-center date wheel (a common issue across many replica watches) and a marginally noticeable difference in the heft compared to a genuine Submariner. However, these were minor imperfections that hardly detracted from the overall exceptional quality.
Rolex Submariner 116610LV Comparison Between Noob V9 and…:
My next acquisition was the Noob V9 Submariner 116610LV (Kermit), and comparing it to the 116610LN V9 provided valuable insights. The differences, beyond the obvious green bezel, were subtle but present. The green ceramic bezel insert on the LV, while a stunning piece of engineering (at least for a replica), showed a slightly more noticeable variation in color saturation under different lighting conditions compared to the black bezel of the LN. The lume, however, was consistently excellent across both models. The bracelet and clasp felt identical in terms of quality and construction. This comparison highlighted Noob's ability to maintain consistent quality across different models within the same generation. The differences were largely cosmetic, and both watches performed exceptionally well.
