I’ve never been more than forty feet. I was only ever a hobby diver. Much of the time I wore a Casio F91w that isn’t dive rated at all. I still have that watch

why? That’s 900 meters deeper than the point at which the diver would be crushed. PADI certification The maximum depth for a PADI Scuba Diver is 40 feet (12 meters), and the maximum depth for a PADI Open Water Diver is 60 feet (18 meters). An Advanced Open Water Diver can dive up to 100 feet (30 meters). A PADI Deep Diver can dive up to 130 feet (40 meters).

Sad to say Rolli has been deceased for some time now

He was near impossible to contact before he retired about ten years ago

It is always good to hear from long time members who haven’t been around for a while. I’m truly happy to learn you are still around and enjoying your watches

I love the custom strap

I love that dial and have had it saved for a few years on my hard drive. I would love a fake of that

Contacting mods and supplying references, current websites and terms of business would be a start

I didn’t know you were a keen ornithologist. I do like boobies. Here is pair of great tits bouncing around

As Kernow says there are two sides to every story and the Mods team has never been in the habit of being unfair or discussing decisions

Glad to hear you are on the mend

AFAIK all Noobmariners had a Miyota clone movement. It isn't at all difficult to get a movement from Cousins, Ebay or Aliexpress. Fitting it is straightforward for anyone that has some little knowledge. Some watchmakers will not work on reps. There is Adrian, but I don't know how busy he is and currently can't remember his username @kernow a little help

You will not find an Ivan dial from any dealer, that much I know

Build specs would be appreciated please

You know how to reach me if I can be of any help brother

Noob factory doesn't make this model. Try the dealers in the trusted dealer section and be aware there are a ton of scam sites on the Internet

Welcome to the hobby. To avoid disappointment it is best to understand there is no such thing as a 1:1 copy and no recognised grading system. Buying from the dealers listed in our trusted dealers section will give you access to the best replicas available and reading on the forums will help you understand the strengths and weakness of each model

David, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Bob was immensely proud of you, we talked at length about our respective families, and it a reflection of the kind of family you are that you think of others at this time of grief and loss. The Internet has made the world a curious place. I consider so many here to be friends and Bob was top of the list. We never met, though we did have plans prior to covid. However over many years he always had my back, always was there helping and encouraging and took a genuine interest in me that went far beyond our watch hobby. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I shall sorely miss him Rest in peace Minty

I saw something on Aliexpress recently. I’m not convinced it’s s a super rep or even close, but it is all I have ever seen and might scratch the itch

And your point is? European shipping of commercial goods verses shipping from China of counterfeit goods. You are comparing apples with ladders mate

My deepest condolences on your loss

I have not had any issues with Toro myself. I have helped resolve a couple for members over the years. Three months of questions on the forum has consistently told you this watch is no longer available, so it isn’t that surprising to me that it is unavailable

Welcome

Adding or removing a dealer from the TD list is not your decision, so you don’t go about it. Acting as you have so far isn’t going to win you any friends and of course begs the question, why did Andrew lose patience with you?
