ardura Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) For the rolex submariner noobmariner I need case tubes and crowns. I ask all the dealers but none has. Where I can find? It is not possible put aftermarket tube for Submariner 16610, the thread is not the same. Greetings Edited April 5, 2011 by ardura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 You need a gen-type tube from ofrei, Clark, Yuki, etc. Drill and tap case for M3x.35 thread and you're all set. I don't remember having to drill my Noob, just re-tapping did the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've been using the aftermarket tubes from Mr. Slimeball and had good results. But like JMB, I run the 3.0mm x .35 tap thru there first. Picking up used 24-703 gen crowns has worked well for me- $25-40 each on the bay. There are rep crowns out there these days which will also work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yeah the hole on my Noobmariner was almost the right size. Sort of like the DW 6263 case. Just needed to change the threads by running a tap through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
