redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share 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!

Don't know anymore if he is a seller on the bay? What's wrong with the current 2836? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
