Submariner 116610Ln Noob V11 vs Rxf Comparison

Comprehensive comparative analysis of Submariner 116610Ln Noob V11 and Rxf models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

My English is not very good, I may not be able to explain some points clearly, I hope you understand. Also, I took these photos with my mobile phone, you may not see the difference between the two models clearly; Sometimes you even need to use a magnifying glass to see the difference.

First, when I hold the two Submariners in my hands I can neither see nor feel the difference between them; Both are of top quality.

If you look carefully, some details are slightly different. Lume grain on the bezel. Under the same lighting condition, Noob looks whiter, while RXF's color is softer and has better transparency. However, both are acceptable.

Dial and Hand Details

You cannot see a difference on the dial with your naked eye, but when you look at it with a 15X magnifying glass, you will see that the edges of the hour markers are better polished on the RXF, while they are irregular on the Noob. As for the hour and minute hands set, the axis is solid stainless steel; In fact, both factories use a small stainless steel “head”, not completely solid.

Case and Body Workmanship

As for the ceramic bezel, this is the biggest challenge a factory has to face when it wants to replicate the Submariner 116610LN exactly. In years past, no matter which Submariner replica it was, even the Noob V10, the platinum finish was fading. Now Noob V11 and RXF have completely solved this problem; The platinum-plated bezel markers on both Submariners will not fade, the quality of the ceramic bezel has even reached the Swiss standard.

As for the date magnifier, look at the RXF, it has a light blue AR coating, the Noob V11 does not. Both factories are correct; Some of the original Submariner 116610LN have a light blue AR coating on the date magnifier, some do not. So this shouldn't be a criterion to debate which one is better, the same is true for date font.

Both watches are 40mm in case diameter, and the RXF is thinner than the Noob V11; RXF is closer to the original.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

Overall, Noob and RXF's Submariners are both top-notch quality and represent the highest level of quality watchmaking in our market. Considering the price, perhaps more people will be willing to choose the RXF Submariner as their first replica.
