docthor Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I purchased this little beauty last week from a member of RWI. He offered the watch as new and as far as I can see it is. I´m absolutely astonished about its overall qualitiy!! I mean...for less than 100€ I didn´t expect that much...but what I got is amazing!! Its even waterproof out of the box And compared to my "16610 superrep" with TC case and case back I can´t see any difference on the case nor the caseback I guess this one will be a keeper ...and...btw...I don´t mind the slow beat 21j movement as long as it keeps and tells the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Messi10 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 For less than 100 it looks great. Realy good bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Loos like a bargain there my friend, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Looks like a noobmariner- SN is M458117 SELs don't fit too well But for 100 euros, that's par for the course. Not close to a TC, WM9 or BK TWB though in quality and fitment of gen parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 hmmm...it was sold as a so called regmariner originally purchased from Naarika. I don´t know the difference and there maybe is none... Anyway...it really is a bargain shot...at least in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yes, Reg sells the noobmariners just like everyone else. There's nothing wrong w/ the regmariner/noobmariner for the price as long as the a21j holds up. But the bezel, insert and crystal are not gen spec. This watch came out in 2007 and was hot then, but has been supplanted by better watches- WM9 V1-3, Euromariner (MBK), TC, and BK's TWB. Good mods for your LV are a smaller crown- gen preferably and probably tube, but maybe the existing tube will take a better crown. Better pearl- watchmaterial and slight trim to the insides of the cgs. Or just wear the watch and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Think I´ll go with "just wear and enjoy" To be honest...I think I´m about to buy a TC LV...it just needs some more nights to dream about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Perfect! The reg/noob can be your beater and the TC can be for those easy occasions- no sweat type deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nice watch could do with a better crown though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
