Noob Factory is the label most associated with the early era of online replica watch sales, and it is the clearest case of a name outliving the workshop. Production is reported to have ended years ago after enforcement action, but "Noob" still appears in listing titles and in dealer domain names, including at least one site built around the word. That does not mean the workshop is back: it means the label still sells, and that is why a label should never be read as a production record.
