Here's mine thanks to Aligoat providing me the case with the trimmed guards.  It is powered by an old Tissot eta 2836-2 that I removed some 12 years ago. I have mine on a strap as I also love the feel of a milsub !!! 

( Lots of dust and lint particles are on the crystal )

'Noobmariner 101' for anyone who does not know about the 'noobmariner':

A 'noobmariner' turned into a 16800:

May 2010:

'kloshar'  "Where does it's reputation come from?"

'KBH'  "In the early days of rep collecting, when there were only a few good subs available, two stood out above the rest.  The Noobmariner and the MBK/MBW.

The Noobmariner got its name when Pugwash did a review of the two of them and coined the term because it was cheap and therefor bought by lots of noobs (newbs).  The Noob was sold by a few dealers including TTK and also Narikaa.  The Noob was easily identified by the serial numbers they used on there case" 

(the original noobmariner was F520117)
