treylee Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Does anyone have a side by side picture comparison of an out of the box Noobmariner vs one that has been modded (say by BK)? The common mods I'm seeing are pearl mod, bezel insert, and crown guard. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Here's a washed out pic of my old noob, Trimmed the crown guards, installed a gen crown and aftermarket tube, and installed a watchmaterial pearl in the original bezel insert. It was a great beater for 2-3 years, WR, but the eta clone started acting up and my watchmaker won't work on clones! I've moved on to a gen 16800 for a beater these days. The noobs these days have a better crown and tube, more gen like, so it may not be necessary to swap out for gen. Pearls also vary. Crown guards aren't too bad, but still could use a slight trim on the inside edges. Sorry, but I don't have a side by side comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Since the noob does not have a gen bezel construction the rim around crustal looks different than the newer more expensive no model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 @ Vintage 1680, I sure like that relumed w/ superluminova dial you've got there. That's a nice mod and improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
