I will be the first to admit that I didnt think this was happening anytime soon, but the day is finally upon us. Noob has released their 904: Subs. 116610LN and LV.

At $518/ea, they are the most expensive, but are also the 1st to the floor with a 904 Sub C with an SA3135. This means an SH3135 or gen 3135 should fit perfectly in the case.

This was a surprise drop for sure. Pure Times pics are hard to judge for me due to the stark black background... can’t wait to see one in QC or in person

I wonder if ARF is going to do 116610s in 904 , I just got the 43mm ARF SD 904L and everything is spectacular except of course the date wheel.
The ARF SEL is razor sharp like my gen 216570 and yes the 904L looks different from the 316 though it's not that much different it is more gen for sure, the ARF crystal and Bezel insert are also incredible absolutely best I have ever seen.

Just looked it up again and price is now $498. Looks like $500 is the current "resistance" level.

Glad to see these out before CNY! Maybe it’s just me or possibly a shadow, but the SEL gap doesn’t look too good on puretime. Even with that, I’m glad to see Noob finally stepping up their game.

I saw them on a couple of Trustd sellers but I guess why they don't do also with Eta 2824 or 2836 instead of SA3135 , the SH 3135 could accept Gen parts so it means if the watch will breaks (the movement) it could be fixed only if you could find the spare parts and it seems to be so difficult (or impossible) for SA3135 🤔, what do you think about that?

the latest updates from Noob all came in a 3135 version at first. Afterwarts they brought the 2824/2836 to the market... So my guess is that they will release a eta clone version somewhere in the next 1 to 2 months.

Besides that. I like the LN, but the LV still has the most obvious tell,.... the green bezel,... the green just doesn't match the Gen green. for me, thát would be a huge deal-maker to buy the LV.

Trusty posted videos up, LV looks terrible

Really disappointing offering from Noob, ARF taking over

Totally agree, noob has lost it. I guess sales are still good enough for them to not care

ARF is coming out ahead. This doesn't bode well for the much anticipated Noob Daytona with 4130 clone.

Not sure about the ARF Sub, but I do like their new Daytona.

Yes true but the non working Chronos bother me. It is also unnecessary as it shoud be perfectly possible to build a full working chrono Daytona at correct thickness using a 2892 and an adapted clone of a Dubois Depraz chrono module. The overall thickness will be less than the 4130 and adaptation of pushers to overcome the module pusher position would be easy.
I think they are taking the wrong route.

im guessing they do this because of price and availability.

ARF just took the slim seconds at 6 movement that was already in the IWCs and removed the 12 o'clock sub dial. Not sure if they are in the business of developing movements or not.
