glennmichael Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi all, I thought this would be interesting to compare a 21J noob LV sub with a Wm9 V2 . Although these pix might not be able to give a 100% comparison of the 2 original specs due to the Gen crown and insert installed on the WM9, a WM pearl is also installed on the Noobmariner+ slight sanding on insert to make it sits lower on bezel. But we'll just take a look at em . Sorry about the file size... Noob LV is always on top picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the detailed pictures. I have an unmodified swisseta 2836 noob F520117 LV from 2006/2007 and compared it with the noob and Wm9 on a few details. Mine has: slight serif tops on the 5 minute markers the 5 min markers are a tiny bit thicker than the other markers thinner numbers on the insert than the noob, similar to the Wm the bottom of the 6 in the date is closed a little bit more than the noob, about the same as the Wm the 30 min marker between SWISS and MADE is thicker than the markers on the noob or Wm and is spaced between the markers like the Wm it has a thinner crown similar to the Wm but the crown guards cover more of the crown next to the case than either watch the crown coronet is similar to the Wm with 'small balls' the crystal sits a tiny bit lower than the noob and is 2.0mm thick the bracelet hoods look about the same and they are made in 3 pieces, the seams can be seen on the bottom side the springbars are made like genuine with two grooves in each tube...but they are 1.8mm in diameter the trademark on the clasp is stretched out like the Wm but not quite as crisp the coronet on the clasp cap has 'crown balls' like the noob and a squashed O at the bottom similar to the Wm it has the typical noob 'pig eye' lumi stuff in the bez insert setting I have a few F520117 watches and they all are made exactly like this one. Otoh, I have a few similar watches with different serial numbers and they are all different from the F520117 in various details. A couple questions... Where were the F520117 noobs made, CH or TW? What is your noob serial number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
