StormTooper4 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This watch needs no mods apart from putting it on decent strap. That rubber does it no favours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is on Asso but DLC Saeds special even tho it's a rep Asso You can see the possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingersxd Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The lever isn't the same as the original is it? The original seems to be rounder and this seems to be a little pointy? Correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shattuck Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This ,IMHO, i one of the best reps out there. the crownguard is the most visible weakspot. Also, the strap makes the watch. Add a rep or gen Asso I have a GEN Asso for mine. I also swapped for a GEN CG and an ETA 6497. should be returning from my watchsmith soon. I really have missed.

PeteM Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Defo swap that CG... You could cut your finger on that lever !! Apart from that it aint a bad rep OTB... usual small issues that are across the board of these ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingersxd Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks guys! Anyone to recommend? I tried contacting The Zigmeister, but he hasn't checked his pm's and it's been 3 days.. Is there any other way to contact him? Or is there another person I can contact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The Zigmeister has for the last year or more been so loaded with work that he only accepts new clients via a personal recommendation from an existing customer. If his PM is turned back on, that's a good sign .. maybe he is accepting new clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingersxd Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 ah now it makes sense.. thanks jkay. are there any other watchsmiths i could approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 You would only approach a watchsmith if you know what u want done You could have The Zigmeister or someone else service the movement and relume the hands and dial but personally find the rep lume perfectly fine and if movement is working fine no need to service right away. You could have him waterproof it I guess? So why would you want to contact a watchsmith about your watch? If you want to improve the cg you will need to buy parts to DIY or send to a watchsmith People like The Zigmeister don't have the parts nor will they buy them or source them for you I bought an extra noob factory case and cg and switched those onto my 390 Big improvement though not cheap Easy to do, really don't need a pro like The Zigmeister for this type of swap If u just get a noob new cg it likely won't fit your 390 h factory case ; That is why I swapped cases instead of just cg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingersxd Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I hear you rogerthat. Thanks for the information. I'll probably change the case then.. May i know who did you get the noob factory case and cg from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncyte Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Yep....390N is fine otb but if you're super picky like me there are tons of things that need modding. Here's what I did: - Noob case - Shorter hex crown tube - OEM crown - OEM CG - Sapphire with colorless AR (the original had purple AR) - DSN 390N hands - Flattened and polished cannon pinion Edited August 22, 2012 by oncyte 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 That looks amazing oncyte!!! Great job As far as replacing with noob case and cg Only way to get those parts are getting lucky in the member sales / parts section or buying a new noob 111n to get the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig88 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 As others have said, the noob case and cg is prob the best mod you can do before going overboard. The H factory appears to get the youngest and least sober kids to work on the cg's thus they fall short in terms of quality. I wouldn't really worry about servicing the movement.

tessa Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 are there any diff between the new 111n cg and the 111m cg from noob. Or is that the same [censored]? Is the h factory lever on the cg better than noobs? Who is good with CG mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the h factory lever on the cg better than noobs? Who is good with CG mods? I'm sure the reps differ but I find the lever is the worst part of the cg on my 390. It's thin and doesn't feel half as good as my 029 noob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
