pman Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I bought a VIPmariner on another site, same thing as the noob. The wok bothered the [censored] out of me. I went out and ponied up for a MBW. Not that is one amazingly good looking watch. It's not perfect but the quality and rehaut depth make a big difference. If you can afford one, get it. You won't be disappointed.
bklm1234 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 andrew's $188, paul's so called perfect, eddie lee's are ETA noobmariner (all 2836-2) josh's $108 beginmariner, ttk's noobmariner, river's $119 are asian noobmariner (all with diff asian movts tough) andrew's other subs, josh's other subs, paul's other subs, king's, ruby's, silix's, angus' are all wokky. -bk
FxrAndy Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 If i wanted a Noob there is only one port of call, TTK, many others may call there cheep good sub noobs or what ever but to be sure it was the same as the original noob as reviewed by Bytor then i would go to where they first came from.

macscac Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 trying to understand this wokky rehaut thing... is the rehaut the part of the watch that goes from the bezel down to the dial? like on the new gmt II's where rolexrolexrolexrolex is etched in?
slickdick Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 trying to understand this wokky rehaut thing... is the rehaut the part of the watch that goes from the bezel down to the dial? like on the new gmt II's where rolexrolexrolexrolex is etched in? Yes.
Rocsen Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Most of Andrew's rolex reps, if not all, are very conical(wokky). So are Josh's classic and perfect sub, except for his beginmariner. Pretty accurate!
predfan2001 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Wokky "Ultimate" Submariner from Andrew he discounted for me because of all the problems I had with his watches. (he told me it was the best) LOL: Since I was embarrassed to wear it because of the terrible rehaut, I installed a Tudor dial: Turned out the Tudor dial was too small. Then I ruined the movement trying to fix it. After a new movement and the original dial, I am happy to have it back for a beater. At least it wasn't a total loss: Edited September 26, 2007 by predfan2001
Corgi Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Wokky wokky you could use it to make TERIYAKI!
perry563 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I have mentioned this before BUT....I have a new MBW from TTK and its just as Wokky as the Ultimate Sub shown here. I also have an older (maybe 3-4 year old) TW best sub and it has a nice straight rehaut. Does anyone know why the current MBW is like this?
POTR Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 If this be me Wokky - \_______/ Does that make this me POT-TY ???-------- |_______|
Nightstroker Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Ask Chewbacca what he thinks.....did you mean too WOOKIE??? Edited October 23, 2007 by Nightstroker
HauteHippie Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 The current MBW modern subs are indeed "wokky". To find proper rehaut depth with a cylindrical shape, one must obtain the old school MBW or TW Best case on the used market (mine's not for sale)....
Stephane Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 ...(mine's not for sale).... Are you sure ?
Xyphis Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Just got my Blue TT Sub from Josh. Great watch, nice bezel. Rather accurate....yet I can still make stir fry! Oh well, it IS a rep. If it bugs me enough I'kll just go out and spend several thousand to get the "better" version.....right
Toadtorrent Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 I just got my Beginmariner from Josh, and it is wokky as well. Upon closer inspection, the case serial on the picture on Josh's site shows # F520117 which is the same case number as the famed TTK Noobmariner which is why I wanted his Beginmariner which has the proper rehaut. The case number I have on the one that was delivered is # F432118, and the case reference number is 16710T which is the case for the GMT Master II, and NOT the Sub's 16610T. I think this might account for the rehaut being off. Other QC issues are that the crystal is installed crooked so the etched crown at '6 is closer to 6:05. I'm awaiting an answer from Josh on this...hopefully he comes through.
Kollektor Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Wokkiness is my pet peeve as well, fellas. Rehaut thickness, too.
Nightstroker Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Because nobody commented on my chewbacca photo....this is my last chance to make you laugh and get a reaction.... Edited October 25, 2007 by Nightstroker
Kollektor Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Missed that one, Mate. Indeed an audible snort of approval from me. I snort like a pig when laughing. By the by, not all the Subs suffer from Stir Fry Syndrome, so there is hope, ye of little faith. That bevel really does become a serious eye sore once you start obsessing over it.
Toadtorrent Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Because nobody commented on my chewbacca photo....this is my last chance to make you laugh and get a reaction.... OK...I'm slow...just noticed the Sub on the fur...funny!!
