Tribal Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm having a go at $499 jus to see what happens and ordered one earlier this week. I'm happy to be a guineapig for the board on this one. I'm in the fortunate position not to miss the money if it does not work out and will be able to confirm or deny the details if it ever comes off which I doubt at this stage. I received an order number but nothing else. I also stated I would only complete the order subject to detailed pictures of the finsihed model including bracelet. Time will tell! Keep us updated...

To think after 5-6 sub reps I finally got an MBW and now this (maybe) comes along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Isn't it weird that Paul is selling this same watch for $169? (New arrival) http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1165 It's a Noobmariner with a bit deepened rehaut & improved crown. Just look at the bezel insert, dial, datewheel & pearl. I'm quite sure these are same products. Those cg's aren't perfect, either. So I believe the whole 1:1 thing is a scam. @watcher... mate: Don't send any money to George yet.

alligoat Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 @ Bytor, Paul's "So-called Perfect Sub" was added June 2006 and is the eta version of the Noobmariner that's been out for a year. It would be nice if watchermaker9's case wasn't a scam, I guess we still need to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaddynukka Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 how about eddies? he said this is a new arrival: http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e186/300...ERY/SUBMARINER/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if watchermaker9's case wasn't a scam, I guess we still need to check it out. Could be. But it's still the same watch. Paul's Nooby has different crown than the ones I have owned. Look at these closeups and compare it to Georges. Then compare it to mine (with aftermarket gen-like pearl): Edited June 6, 2007 by By-Tor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itreeman Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think by-tor might be onto something..... But, why is there such a delay for George? I have owned a Paul's "so called perfect" for a very long time now (at least 6 months or so, I could check my emails to see exactly when I bought it). After looking at the watchmaker9 pics again I do notice that in some of the pics the watches are wrapped in the protective wrapping? Why on earth would a "pre-production" watch be wrapped!!!???? Maybe they ordered it from Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itreeman Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yep...well if dealers and their shills from other forums can do it....it's not beneath ole TTK......!

watcher Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 What is Eddie asking? I received a reply from George(watchmaker9) this morning saying final pics will be emailed to me on Thursday or Friday. I wonder if Eddie or Neil can remove the insert to show the bezel construction.

Bazz Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 The make up of the bezel is the first thing that jumped out from the pics, I would be interested to know if any of the new cases from the other collectors is the same. I have only seen the old style bezels but I haven't bought a rollie for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen the old style bezels but I haven't bought a rollie for a long time. I'm with Bazz on this, I'd love to see a bezel assembly that copied the original Rolex design, same rehaut and same cg's. It would be nice to slap a gen bezel insert on there w/o having to do a bunch of filing. Also, it would be nice if gen dials would fit. As I recall, King had a sub six months ago or so that had copied the original bezel design more faithfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaddynukka Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 his price is 215 shipped. What is Eddie asking?

bklm1234 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) TTK's MBW 16610 has similar bezel assembly like in 316L's pics: Eddie Lee's is a ETA noobmariner. I couldn't pop the bezel to look but I heard it also has a ring plate under the bezel for the click mechanism. -bk Edited June 6, 2007 by bklm1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodaddynukka Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 so that means that the case shown in WM9s site is not any of these that our dealers are offering? so it is in fact a different case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
