yeah BK offers the new updated case, bezel with crystal and crown tube for $80. New SSD bracelet is apparently an additional $40
So all yoiu had to do was swap the movement, bezel insert and crown and you had a new updated SSD with thick bezel and better bracelet... but now it looks like there may some discrepencies here...

i cant wait to see how yours turns out!!!! This movement and dial from my noob will end up inside a MBW16610 soon so i was thinking the same thing about a 16800 or a newer nodate sub with a 93150 bracelet..... The possibilities are endless!!!
Heres my hardcore-noob. Its a work horse and shows the mileage. haha
MODS
Swiss ETA movement
Drilled out lug holes and SEL's -
gen 2mm spring bars
Modded crown guards
reshaped and polised caseback to look like 1680
Entire bracelet beatenm aged, vintagized and oiled
Entire case beaten, aged and vintagized
Aftermarket insert installed without pearl
These are different crowns and tubes. these new ones 24-703 are cheap.. the vintage 24-702 ones cost 10x more if you can even find them. Ive been looking for a 702 tube for years..

Heres my lugged up noob.. YES it was hard to drill the lugs AND the SELS. Looks pretty damn good though. Its an awesome mod! I can wait to see what you are going to do next!!!
has anyone heard from him? I would love to see more of his work!!!!
You can just stop loving these watches.. its not possible!
How can you quit and never come back? haha
thats a super nice datejust!! Im on the west coast canada and we;ve had a GREAT long weekend so far! Weather has been fantastic.. supposed to rain on Tuesday though .. yuk

well they were stuck.. now we have goofy looking new models.. i dont mind the deep sea though. You're worried about the Exp II and im worried about the next generation Daytona I cant wait to see what they do there.
i wish quartz was an option. You could choose
Quartz
A7750
or Swiss ETA7750
How about a quartz sec@6 daytona in the near perfect noobfactory case? WBK has quartz HBB lites for just over $200.. he says same case, dial and strap as the HBB lite and ultimate, just with quarts movement and no AR like the lite version.
not bad... anyone know the weight difference between a A7750 and a quartz chrono?
Yep you can get these.. recently one of the trusted dealers on one of the forums here posted pics of his HBB with quartz chronograph. Apparently the same case and strap as the HBB lite, just with different movement.. no AR. I think about $250? This would be a super reliable daily wearer.
Wow i definatly wouldnt do that. This isnt like oiling the motor on a blender or something.. "a drop" of oil would gum up the entire movement, and probably ruin the dial as well...
Ya but it only fits the noobmariner as far as i know. If your not sure what fits what then its just best to buy a gen crown and tube and drill and tap your case. The noob tube hole is pretty centered top to bottom so you should have enough 'meat' to accept a larger hole.
