Is the ETA Noobmariner a myth?

[arminvanbuuren]

but who can spot a 0.1mm difference in naked eye? :S i know i cant.. well i dont think i can anyway.. so ur saying the noobs only weakness is rehaut, crown and pearl? does that mean if u get a gen crown and the right pearl.. its hardly noticeable?

okay guys. I'll bite.

But is it still possible to get the noobmariner from river with the ETA copy movement?

You need to email him and see. I'm very happy w/ my River noob and think it's the best deal out there. Of course it doesn't hurt that I've installed a gen crown and aftermarket tube, trimmed the cg's and installed a watchmaterial pearl (after loosing the original one).

I just took delivery of my ETA Noob from Andrew and it's nice but just OK in the wearability stakes. For a rep it's awesome but after months of wearing my UPO day to day the Sub just felt small, light and dare I say it, cheap. I totally realise that this is inherent in genuine Subs too but the light, jingly-jangly cheapness of the bracelet puts me right off. My TT Sub feels heavier and more substantial but that may be because of the solid links. That said, it is a remarkable watch but it will never in a million years surpass the PO for feel and build quality.
