irolexu Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Well I saw a post on REPGEEK about a 48 dollar "noobfactory" submariner" pics looked real great and it had hollow mid-link bracelet! so I thought I would share the link to the repgeek post. http://repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=153316 I also went ahead and ordered it for the bracelet to put on my TW best cause I thought it was funny how I spent 650 and got an incorrect bracelet and this guy pays 48 bucks and gets the right bracelet! And as far as the watch goes I'll probably put my TW bracelet on it and give it to my dad or brother not sure! after shipping it was only 68 dollars so we will see what surprise I am in for. I am a little confused though cause I thought noobfactory quit making the 16610LV yet according to the "what to look for" this seems to hit it.
blue_sphere Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 wow... well glad you just got it for the braclet... I feel bad for hte guy thats going to mod it lol... that watch is a terrible start!
irolexu Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 Ya true but hell for the price it's not a bad watch to get to see if you like LVs or just need a correct band for your TW
Star69 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 for the price its not bad at all - just saw a sales thread on RWI where a similar watch was sold for 10 times this amount (advertised as MBW/TW Best) - that's BAD cheers, Frank
JEREMYS Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I got it ,just change bezel by another on ebay and change bracelet by a nato strap because steel bracelet is too sharpened for me !
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 for $50 thats incredible looking. is it from the noobfactory even? wait i think it is! even got the black sub for $55
irolexu Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 Ya can't wait till it gets here! It shipped yesterday and I plan on softening the edges of the bracelet probably won't have to touch the finish as it looks pretty good. any thoughts on the finish?
ile Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I got one and it's worth every penny to be honest. If you sand the rehaut, put the aftermarket bezel insert (jewlery outlet or simillar) and pearl (or do epoxy mod on the pearl) you'll have a hell of a watch for 60-70 usd all together. even better if you go for the asian 2836 version from the same TS that costs 108 usd and do the same mods :-) bracelet edges can easily be softened and then apply dry bike lube. Can't fault it really :-)
preacher62 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Maybe I'm missing something...but I tried to order one and the checkout procedure added $20 for "tax"..."tax". Are they sending that to the Tennessee Dept. of Revenue, or what? Then the shipping was to be a minimum of $20, up to $50, depending on how quickly one desires to receive the watch. It looks like $88. to me. How does one purchase one without the "tax"? I'd pay $68. for one of these, but not $88. That's bordering on too much money for an incorrect sub.

That's funny it only charged me 68 bucks. Maybe your state charges tax on online purchases?
preacher62 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 That's funny it only charged me 68 bucks. Maybe your state charges tax on online purchases? Thanks for reply. Where is Times Shop. If it is in Taiwan or China, you know they aren't collecting state sales tax for USA. I'll go back and look at it again. It showed $48 for the watch, $20 for tax and then moving forward I had to choose a shipping method. Thanks again! Maybe I'll let this one pass. I need another watch like I need a ........
irolexu Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Posted October 30, 2011 I'm planning on putting my TW bracelet on it and giving it to my brother for his bday if he don't want it I'll PM you preacher

ile Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 That crap with tax is really surprising. I paid 48 for the watch (or 108 for the asian 2836) and i usually opted for china post registered airmail which costed 10 usd for one watch or 15 for two. later on they increased registered airmail to 20 usd for 2 watches . they definitely never charged me any tax or so. try to email them and ask for explanation.
