TW best is still one of the best sub around. If you want a new rep slighty better go for a F520117 case, the serial no. on all noobmariners. I actually prefer that to the tw best. There's no reason to buy an expensive "perfect" from Andrew/joshua.

You'll have to shave a little bit the insert and to drill/tap the case to fit the new tube. They will work The bezel is an easy fix, I also did it, then I broke the movement but that's another story..

Hi, I'm completing a franken modern 16610 sub, but I have two doubts.. I have a brand new noob dial (of course), tudor hands and a set of noob hands.. - Is it worth to superlume the dial? I don

Well, when my rep was seized and then sent back to Joshua, he actually received it. He sent me a picture with the letter from customs.. There were my details, tracking number on the receipt, and it was in my language.. He has no reason to say he received it back if it was not true.. He shipped again and it arrived safely to a friend of mine's address. Maybe it's not his real addres, but indeed a valid address.

Hi, I got 1 watch from joshua seized and sent back to him, even if it was shipped by registered airmail. Customs wrote "not allowed" on it. I gave him another address and the watch arrived fast and safely. The address is of a friend of mine in the same city. Since that, every package i receive to my home address from extra EU (legal stuff, no reps) is opened and ispected from customs, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe not.. Joshua asked it because probably your address is blacklisted now. And most of all, tell joshua not to use the word "gift" anymore, just put a value of around 30$ and keep using registered airmail. Good luck!

are you sure this would fit a rep?

Yes it is correct. I don't know if it's worth, I've not seen it on person.. usually Wholesale products are garbage, except the inserts that are really good.. If you take it let me know how good it is, maybe I'd need one too..

I'm using a 2836-2 but I've an higher the cannon pinion (2.95mm), I guess it should work.. I decided to buy a 3055 after reading a post of yours, thank you for the advise

and wait about one month..

around 300$

Pam's ,Joshua's Andrew's, Angus', TTK, Narikaa subs have the same dial and bracelet, just ask for the F520117 serial. It's your best choice.

I've always thougt that open 6 and 9 font was correct for a 3035.. So it could have also closed 6 and 9? I've aways seen gen 16014 like this:

Movement is different, Noob has the asian 21j, brginmariner has an ETA copy inside.

WM9 has a different bezel assembly (like gen). Noob bezel won't fit.

It's for a 3035 16014 DJ. I bought 4 DWs before, and every seller sent me the closed '6 and '9 version, even if they show pics of open '6 and '9. I'll try without modding it, great. Thank you for the answers.

Hi, I've found the correct DW for my project, but I guess it's too heavy to be used as an overlay. I can sand the back to make it thinner, but I don't know how to remove the useless material around the numbers. A simple cutter blade looks too risky for me. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi, ETA 2824-2 shouldn't allign correctly, an ETA 2836-2 will do. Noob dw is the best (not the wrong bold version some seller had before), as well as the dial. BTW cubic-works has pics of the open 6 and 9, but he actually sends the closed 6 and 9 version. About the bracelet.. gen strap has hollow mid links and solid end links, not solid mid links. Noob bracelet is really good, and I'm almost sure that a gen bracelet wouldn't fit your noobmariner.

I was thinking the same.. I'll use the complete movement+dial+dw to put in my MBW case, and maybe also the noob bracelet.. And I'll keep the real ETA mov for another project.. Thank you. Cheers

Actually I'd need only the dial+dw to swap in my case, but I'd also like to give the ETA copy mov a try. I guess that River's dial and DW are the same. Thank you for the answer.

Hi, I was wondering if the ETA copy noobmariner from River has the same dial and dw of TTK's, Narikaa's etc.. noobmariner, which are supposed to be the best around. Case should be the same as it has the same serial, but also joshua's one has it, and it's a different watch.. Thank you. Pic from River.

I had the same experience with my Date Just. A gen (or 1:1 aftermarket) bracelet didn't fit my rep. I bought a new bracelet from the same seller, it's pretty cheap.

Ask The Zigmeister if you want to re-lume the dial. Or buy a new dial, it's about 20$

It's not easy to find it anymore, but you can try. This is the best EXII "non franken" around. Black dial version is more accurate. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=45339 As By-tor wrote, flaws are: -grey/silver hour marker -datewheel/cyclops positioned too right -hour markers positioned too close to the seconds markers PT told me he still have this version but I'm not sure. I'll see when I'll receive it.
