The Rolex Submariner series by Noob Factory, especially the V11 edition of the model 114060 with its black dial, continues to be a favorite among watch enthusiasts for its remarkable craftsmanship, closely rivaling the genuine and often elusive Rolex Submariner. Both V10 and V11 versions are available, mainly differing in the movement used. Recently, Noob Factory’s Submariner welcomed the V11 upgrade, making it a strong contender against other high-quality replicas from VR Factory and AR Factory. But what specific upgrades have been introduced in the V11 edition, and how does it compare to the genuine product? Can it convincingly pass as the original?

Since releasing its first Submariner replica in 2008, Noob Factory has committed to annual improvements in manufacturing techniques and material quality to maximize the accuracy of its replicas. The latest V11 upgrade focused on enhancing the steel quality, upgrading from 316L to 904L stainless steel, and transitioning from a reversed 2836 movement to a genuine configuration 3135 movement. This new version not only utilizes a genuine 3135 movement but also maximizes detail and functionality fidelity to the original, setting a new standard in the replica market.

Key Upgrades in the Noob Factory Rolex Submariner V11:

• Materials: The upgrade to 904L stainless steel significantly improves corrosion and abrasion resistance, aligning it with luxury watch standards.
• Ceramic Bezel: The V11 features a bezel crafted from a novel ceramic formula, fired between 1100 to 1250 degrees Celsius, which visually matches the original so closely that even professionals find it difficult to distinguish.
• Luminosity: The V11 introduces exclusive “Blue Lume” technology, applying a sapphire crystal coating to the luminescent markers. This application ensures scratch resistance and durability on par with the original model.
• Dial and Bezel: The ceramic bezel’s markings use Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for the platinum numbers, ensuring they remain pristine, resisting fading or discoloration over time.
• Clasp Innovation: The V11 introduces a one-click buckle release, mirroring the original’s functionality and providing ease of use not found in many replicas.
• Upgraded Textures and Finish: The dial’s luminescent markers are meticulously applied, and the dial brushing is more refined than in previous versions.
• Interchangeable Parts: All components are designed to be interchangeable with genuine parts, thanks to precise German CNC scanning of the original components.
• Superior Durability: Utilizing imported 904L stainless steel ensures that the watch meets and exceeds high-end watch durability standards, effectively resisting everyday wear and tear much better than the more commonly used 316L stainless steel in lesser replicas.

In summary, Noob Factory’s Rolex Submariner V11 significantly advances over earlier versions and sets a new benchmark in the replica industry by offering a watch that could easily be mistaken for the genuine article, thanks to its unrivaled accuracy and quality. This version of the Submariner is an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking the prestige of a Rolex with the accessibility and affordability of a high-end replica.
