redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Question for the pro's here. First off, I have a gen insert on a noobmariner that has a pearl that was cracked and then fell out. I remember that there was a really good pearl replacement, but I can't remember the store/eBay seller that had them. Was it Watch Material or something like that? Also, does anyone have a spare 2836-2 lying around? I have the correct DW with overlay, so I just need a working movement for this guy. Thanks!
irolexu Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 If you find a 2836-2 source pm me I need a few as well
mastrmindalliance Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Yep, watch material are good. i may have an asian 2836 spare (no day - from a ploprof), i'm not sure what to do with it just yet.

Don't know anymore if he is a seller on the bay? What's wrong with the current 2836?
redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Posted August 12, 2011 What's wrong with the current 2836? It's been transplanted into another watch This noob sub has been "on the list" for over a year now. When the insert fell out, the only way I could get it back on was to remove the bezel. That was my first introduction to never remove a noobmariner bezel!!! I bent it quite badly. Got another noob case, but the bezel was still attached and I bent that one too. Finally I had it this week and started working on it again and I managed to straighten it out successfully and got the insert re-installed. Now I just need a movement and a pearl

You could look into the ultimate clones Angus is selling?...
redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Posted August 12, 2011 Ah okay. You could look into the ultimate clones Angus is selling?... Unfortunately, according to Angus, the superclone is not available by itself at the moment.
redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Posted August 12, 2011 Yep, watch material are good. i may have an asian 2836 spare (no day - from a ploprof), i'm not sure what to do with it just yet. Are you thinking of selling it? Does it have the date/calendar mechanism in it? I don't need a date wheel, but it would be good to have the parts for it
mastrmindalliance Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Perhaps, just got to tidy up the projects and decide which ones to pursue. unfortunately it doesn't have the calendar mech sorry.
redwatch Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks mma! I'll keep on searching
Jkay Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 A link to the WM modern pearl with genuine sapphire lens over the lume was posted to this forum within the last 4 days. I saw it myself.
cougaree Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 I may have a 3135 clone spare sometime soon from BK.
redwatch Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks cougaree, but I need a 2836 as well as some parts for a broken one now
sneed12 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 I have 3 or 4 Swiss ETA 2836's, a clone 3135, and an Asian 2836 kicking around in the parts box, but I won't be home until the 26th, I'm on a business trip. If you're still looking then I'll hook you up.
