astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looks great. Yes you need a 26mm strap. The attached photo shows two incredible straps from Eric at Hamilton Straps. The one on the left is fitted to my brilliant Marlin built Fiddy. For the summer months I like a bit of colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Majestyk Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Can't go wrong - it's CLASSIC! Not a big fan of the AMMO or vinatge straps, a nice BLACK buffalo or croc would look good - conservative but classy. Wear it well mate!

jack3 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Anyone can make a comparison between the Eddie lee and noob version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidefguy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Anyone can make a comparison between the Eddie lee and noob version? I would like to see this as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 When the Noob Factory made their super-replica, there were a few astounding reviews. Eddie Lee owners soon found, unfortunately, that their watches were not commanding super prices any more. If you want better than Noob nowadays, you need to see Marlin22 for a hand-built 1950.

mellons Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 There was a comparison a while back when noob came out Noob just swung it but el was very close Always wanted to get one ... Never managed to snag one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Looks good indeed Eddie Lee is a legend. How is Eddie Lee these days? I bought a replica from him back in 2005 or so..... Nice, me too... March 2005, Pam 111 was my first rep from Eddie Lee, still have it and wear it. But it had to be modded.
