Aero Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 So last year I bought a Noob-Factory Submariner and it's been a great watch. Was a little weary at first about how the watch was going to hold up to daily abuse but it's been rock solid. Anyways, I'm now interested in getting a Noob-Factory Yachtmaster. I've been doing some searching on here and came across a few posts saying that the Noob-Factory Yachtmaster is not available anymore. Did some looking around on Josh's site (Perfect Clones) and came across this- http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlyms10018-beginyachy-rolesium-dial-asia-2813-free-shipping-p-6252.html Is this a true Noob-Factory watch? If not, where should I be looking to purchase one? Apprectiate any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Is this a true Noob-Factory watch? Nope, not as we know it. Stay away, it's a horrible rep. I once wrote an article of the Noob YM. LINK. But that was four years ago. I have no idea if it's still available. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I agree with Bytor, it's not a great rep and it certainly doesn't look like the early noobfactory YMs. But for $118, it's not terrible, it's an economy rep. The one thing about the rep market is that it's in a constant state of change. And with the demise of WM9, there's really no great YM rep out there at this point that I know of. But you can certainly try Josh's rep and take your chances- it could easliy turn out better than the pictures- Josh's photography isn't the greatest either. Maybe some others are more up on the YM scene and will chime in. I own a couple, a white dial black markers ss beater ($100) and a full gold white dial black markers asian 21j ($150). They're both shirt sleeve reps- they look good from a distance. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks for the replies guys. Going to do some more poking around. May have to convince my brother to sell me his WM9 Yachtmaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Did some research and here's what I found. Apparently, the Yachtmaster from the true noobmariner source is not available anymore and hasn't been for a few years. Dealers selling Yachtmasters these days with the "NoobFactory" name attached are simply playing off the reputation of the noobmariner source. I got one from Narika last year and it's lovely! I had a few issues which reg sorted out like a true gentleman! Not sure if it is a noob factory one though?? maybe PM Reg Jit. Just placed an order with Reg for one myself. Very excited to get it. I'll post some pictures when it's in so people can see how it looks/give me an honest critique of it. I don't quite have the eye yet for some of the things unlike some of the experts here!
