rocket754 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 This is just a outstanding piece for the money. very nice indeed
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Yessir. Amazing how much difference something as little as a pearl can make! Great shot... And a great watch for a great guy.
HauteHippie Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Nice pearl indeedy. Give that band a light polish, and viola!!
By-Tor Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 You have a good eye Chief. I haven't polished it because I'm afraid I'd lose the satin finish. But I have some non-abrasive liquid polish that I'm going to try. Thanks.

But I have some non-abrasive liquid polish that I'm going to try. Thanks. A few light swipes with Cape Cod ought to do the trick... It won't go from matte to mirror all at once. And there's always 4/0 steel wool in case you overdo it. You might also want to pop that bezel off and do the top of the case also, but be careful. I had one of those TTK/TWG subs with an amazingly subborn bezel. I didn't care because the movement was broken and I'm just using it for internal parts, but in order to get that bezel off I ended up bending it. Yow!!

Ozzy Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 bloody hot. I cant eait to get mine, but im not sure if i should get black or the one with the green bezel.
jnkay Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 It does look nice. Did you replace the stock pearl, or did it actually come this way (and if so, is this TTK's?).
By-Tor Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks guys. Unfortunately it doesn't come with this pearl. This was a gift from a friend. I don't know where to get these pearls.... I believe buying those aftermarket pearls/inserts is always a "crap shoot". I just got lucky.
TwoTone Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I just got lucky. My grandmother always said: "Better to be lucky than good"... That's why I took up shooting pool at an early age...

I believe buying those aftermarket pearls/inserts is always a "crap shoot". I just got lucky. I got lucky too. My pearl fell out (possibly due to desk abuse caused by my getting used to a steel watch) and I got a $10 bezel insert from eBay. I don't remember where I got it, so don't PM me with requests. ps. Noobmariners rock!
Star69 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 you guys make me crazy had to order my noobmariner yesterday - should be here in a few days Frank
