Hello stephane, did you asked to polish it too? My AD doesn't service the watch without polishing it, and it's a pity unless it's necessary

Yes it's the noobmariner serial. The differences between recent and old noobmariner are the slightly deeper rehaut (still too short), and the more visible etched crown. Check the oversized crown, it didn't change. Anyway, I guess you found the "gen" first noobmariner

Definetely no, they won't fit

NO, this won't fit. You'll need 295c-2 gasket. 295c-1 is for datejust (and daytona I guess) It's not easy to find a gen gasket only, you could buy clark's crystal complete (specifying for submariner), gasket has the same gen specs, and you'll have a spare crystal. Ebay #300230156651

A gen or aftermarket gasket is slightly larger and taller (compared to wm9 one). I guess it's the same for your MBK. I've just upgraded my watch with a gen gasket and it makes a huge difference, the crystal sits higher and the rehaut becomes deeper, same depht as gen. Try like Tribal says, otherwise it's a pity

Ask Angus, he sells the ETA noobfactory YM, and if you ask him, he can send you the upgraded dial, less "yellow"

Until a 2892 powered sub comes out I think we cannot call it 1:1 case. Also WM9 sub needs some reworking to fit a genuine complete bezel properly, otherwise it won't turn. I've not tried to fit a genuine bezel on a new MBW/MBW yet. BTW I do agree with alligoat/Tribal/Stephane, MBW/WM9 are the best choice and definitely worth a genuine bezel insert

ETA 2836-2 as well as DG has a wrong crown position that sits too low. 2892 movement has the same 3135 specifics, so correct crown height covering part of the bezel.

too bad that Angus 1:1 YM never saw the light. Noob YM is a nice watch but far away to be a super rep, let's wait to see this one. The correct crown position (2982 movement copy or genuine) could be a great improvement among rolex reps.

Beautiful watch.. Are you saying there is no 93250 engraved on the last links? Mine came with engraved links, and that's WRONG for a Z serieal Sub.. so it could be a nice upgrade. I'm thinking of adding a gen dial too, it really makes the difference. Nice work Tribal, good choice Stephane, enjoy it

Best choice my friend, you'll enjoy it for sure.. Looking forward to read a nice review when completed

I did in 2006, i remember classes and final exams during the world cup Yeah it's difficult.. Good luck for your assignement

agree, definitely not worth.. Old WM9 models were the standard CN/TW reps, MWB or Phong cases are far better

MBW on the right, WM9 on the left. MBW on the bottom, WM9 on the top.

For sure a gen bezel insert doesn't fit the MBW engraved rehaut sub without mod

Tomorrow Angus (PureTime) will have it in stock, I guess correct hand stack version

Nice to see you here. Welcome

Looks really good out of the box to me, thanks to be the guinea pig for this rep, a lucky guinea pig btw How is the rehaut engraving? The coronet at 12 should be aligned with the 12 hour marker, it doesnt's seem to be perfectly centered.

http://www.julesborel.com/horological/page61.htm but they don't sell it anymore

I bought it from Jules Borel a long time ago, but now they are discontinued. I paid it around 60$, I guess you could be lucky searching for a gen 3055 DW. Forget the aftermarket DW from ebay, all the sellers have picture of the correct 6 and 9 date font, but then they ship the closed 6 and 9 one.

we're making comparison from the poor pictures on Josua's and Andrew's sites, it's impossible to judge the ceramic effect quality with them. Will see very soon

If it works, there's a gen 16200 caseback only on the bay

What dial is it? The case is amazing.
