HauteHippie Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi, can anybody tell me if Josh's Beginmariner is the same model as TTK's Noobmariner... Cheers P. Once upon a time the answer was yes. Having not seen recent pics, I can't say for sure. If you could post pics, we could definitively answer the question.

w.genzo Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Movement is different, Noob has the asian 21j, brginmariner has an ETA copy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi, can anybody tell me if Josh's Beginmariner is the same model as TTK's Noobmariner... The case may or may not be different too. TTK always gets the proper case...Josh may or may not. You want the F520117 serial on the case. This one has the proper rehaut etc. Look for my post comparing them...Toad's Noob and Being Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hey Toadtorrent, thanks for yer informative reply. Actually i only need the noob dial to finish an MBW based franken and have been after one for a couple of months. TTK never bothers to answer my pm's and River is out of them for now. I saw the beginmariner on Josh's site have the noob dial but of course this doesn't mean a thing. Guess i'll just have to try elsewhere. Cheers P.

w.genzo Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Pam's ,Joshua's Andrew's, Angus', TTK, Narikaa subs have the same dial and bracelet, just ask for the F520117 serial. It's your best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yep, there are alot of noobs out there, but if you're only looking for the dial, the beginmariner is fine. It is a noob, but there have been some issues with it- like the bolder font on the date overlay. The case is F520117 and the movement is the asian 21j from PTS Resources in China (it is not an eta copy as Josh says, but it isn't a bad 21j asian movement, it's the DG 2813 which Ofrei and Jules Borel sell). Also seen a few "zit pearls" on beginmariner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seen a few "zit pearls" on beginmariner! Mine had a really loud rotor on it...REALLY loud..."you could hear it spin across the dance floor on a summer Friday night in Ibiza" loud... I'm not so sure it is the DG 2813, as it had the hack feature, which I was led to understand does not exist on the DG 2813. My pearl was a bit of a zit too...nothing an aftermarket insert can't cure... But, like was said earlier...if you're just looking for the dial...no biggie...
