show us your noobmariners!

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 )

I still have mine!

 

'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)

Thanks!

 

One of the best replicas ever made!  These are prized pieces for me!  Also the quality deserves some credit as well!
