Noob Upgrade

If I swap out the Asian movement from my Neil noobmariner with an ETA, will the same hands fit?

Appreciate any info. Thanks.

They will not fit. Try this guy, nostalgia-2000 on ebay, he has the ETA hands you need.

The dial feet on the asian dial don't match up with the eta dial feet locations, meaning you'll have to clip the feet and glue the dial to the movement ring and the ring to the movement. And you'll have to glue a Rolex datewheel to the eta movement's datewheel and remove the asian stem and screw in the eta stem to the crown.

All in all, it might be easier to order Paul's "Perfect Sub" for $149 plus whatever it costs you to get the money to Paul- WU, bankwire, Moneybookers....

Do you know if any of the crystals listed by nostalgia-2000 will fit the noobmariner?

I think your asking for the moon on a stick!

Sometimes you get lucky, but other times not so lucky with parts "compatibility" between replicas.

They won't for a CN sub, but will for a TW best.
