besides switching the datewheel overlay and getting a new set of hands, the movement itself would fit right?

can the Noobmariner take a ROLEX TUDOR 2824 automatic movement?

I have no problems with confidence and I do not dress like a bum when i go out. I understand that most people can't tell 1 meter away or even if you sit at the same table. It's just that the people at timezone make it sound like you "suck and somehow you are less respectable" if you wear a rep and it doesn't even matter if you earn 6 figures or if you wear a 1k suit while doing it. I remember someone saying how they use replacement band on their rolex so as not to scratch up the gen band and number of people jumped on the OP saying how it's dumb and etc.

Does the date window on the noob line up correctly with a swiss ETA movement or do i need a new crystal?

I've been on timezone and reading all the comments makes me a bit nervous about wearing reps out. It's like once someone finds out that you wear a rep they lose all respect for you. And it makes no difference if don't hide the fact that it is a rep. does anyone ever feel that you may get disrespected just because you wear a rep. How do you deal with someone who becomes an ass to you once they find out you wear a rep?

Where do I find the bk mariner? Who sells it? I asked trusty an he said that it was the same watch as the review

so in other words the online store fronts are buying bulk from the ebay sellers and pricing them up 5x the price? What in the world would possess them to do something like that?

I was wondering if this http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...x&cPath=221 is the same noobmariner that TTK sells? thanks

Maybe I'm not exactly bright enough but why are they so many different prices for SS osyter style bands? Stainless steel Flip lock Osyter style band from Milano for $220, from http://www.tnsdiamonds.com/rolexBrac1.htm for $450, and on ebay for $54.95 Can someone explain I am missing? They all advertise that they use 316L steel .

I have a rep sub and an ETA movement, I'm looking to purchase a dial from http://www.mkiiwatches.com/. They have a milsub dial with data window but it's 28mm. And i'm wondering if that dial will fit in the rep sub case. I tried the eta movement without a dial and the movement fits fine

I need to get a replacement SS crown for my sub rep and I'm wondering what the crown size is on the Sub. I've got a link to a bunch of screw down crowns but I'm not sure which is the right one, can someone tell me which one is the correct size? Link to crowns http://www.ofrei.com/page424.html

no one knows? okay, how about a brush effect, how do you get a brush effect?

I recently purchased a 2 tone replacment band for my rep. it's one of those italian made bands, when i first got the band i found that the satin/brush finish was not very satin/brush like, so i took to a local watchmaker and asked if he could give it a more satin/brush finish. I even pointed to one of the watches that he had in his display and said i wanted it to look something like this. I got the band back a few days ago and now it has more of the satin/brush look to it but the satin finish is too shiny and kills the brushed metal look now. Is there anyway for me to fix this without having to break out a dremel and stuff? I just want to tone down a bit of the satin finish so more of the brush metal comes out. thanks

oh and the case back has it stamped 18K and 750 when the case is SS!.

a few months I got into the whole replica craze with rolexes. And due to lack of knowledge, bad judgement and etc I stumbled onto idealwatches and got ripped for 900 bucks. I did get a watch(eta movement) but it was 3x what dealers here and TRC was selling. So now I was good, I had few good sites for dealers and information. I started searching and reading. It wasn't long till I wanted a submariner but most of them had problems with the CG's, pearls, bezels and etc. Never really a "perfect" watch. So I decided to build my own Rolex by buy parts. Real geniue parts. Ebay there I went. I did a lot of waitng and searching looking at seller feedback and etc. Eventually after some time I finally got a chance to bid on a rolex black GMT watch case. And i won it for 90 bucks including shipping. Not to shabby i figured. I was in contact with the seller throughout the process. I even asked him if it was an offical case or if it was a replica/aftermarket case. He replied and confirmed that it was an "OFFICAL" case. Okay. The seller even told me when he sent it out and when I should be expecting it. Great, seems like a honest guy. On monday I recieved the package and boy was I excited. I ripped into it and guess what? First, the guy sent me the wrong case, he sent me a Green LV case and not the black GMT case. Secondly, the green case, it's a replica/aftermarket case. It has a very good pearl but the CG is not right, and the etching is slightly off from the six oclock mark. And the etching is not lasered on but etched on. So this is the second time I got ripped off.
