GSmaniac Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Looks like a Noob-Sub-Case as Basement. It looks great but the CG`s are different from normaly GMT Cases. Regards GSmaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geyper man Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Noobfactory GMT-master II 16710 as base model (most sellers carry them). GEN ETA 2836-2 with GMT ICS module. GEN twinlock 6mm crown. After market tube from Ofrei. After market insert from luxurydeals8 at ebay. All mods done by me, it is true that cg's are oversanded because of a really bad mod job done before (I've done my best to fix it). Thank you for your compliments guys! I'm sorry for the pic's quality, thanks for watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velasco Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Geyper is more than a modder, he's a true artist. I've seen some of their jobs and they are fantastic. V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Fantastic craftsmanship, what is your "micro-mill"? I have a small rotary table ordered for my mill (it just shipped) and I am contemplating building a case from scratch. If anybody has some "engineering drawings" for a Submariner case I would be very interested. I don't see why an exact copy couldn't be made that would at least be interchangeable with Gen. Of course, without CNC it might be cost prohibitive but ya never know unless ya try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabus Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Nice work. I'm beginning (thinking about it at least ) the same project on a Noob Explorer. Assume you used a 24-603 crown ( which I have already ) with the bigger 24-2553 tube assembly. Would the smaller 24-6020 tube have fit without drilling? Any words of wisdom on drilling the case? What size drill bit etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geyper man Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I used a 24-603-0 gen crown with a 24-5330 after market tube. I drilled a <2.50mm hole and maked a new thread with an M3/0.35 mm tap. I don't really know about 24-6020 dimensions, but anyway I guess you'll need to make a new thread into the case.

By-Tor Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Excellent work. I've always said this is a nice rep. My rep vs. gen comparison is here. The rep is very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
