radiohead101 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi there! So here are some photos of my TrustyTime submariner. It is this model: link Opinions: I like this watch a lot. It really is beautiful. It feels great. It looks excellent, and I've been receiving a lot of complements on it. A superior at work has a legit seadweller, and this looks every bit as good as his. The movement looks very nice, and all the details on the watch are very crisp and gorgeous. (Can you tell I really like it?) Complaints: 1. The cyclops is a little misaligned 2. The band has "sharp" links, which don't feel very excellent on the skin 3. This morning the date was stuck between the 3rd and 4th, I pulled the crown out to change the date and got it to flick over to today. 4. As we all know, the pearl is anemic Questions: 1. Is this the same case as the Noobmariner? 2. Can the aftermarket bezel (the black thing with numbers and the pearl) fit in this? Caveat: I am not a photographer! Thank you for reading!

By-Tor Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yes, that's the same watch as the famous Noobmariner. Excellent choice. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 You can fit an aftermarket bezel insert, but most people just put a better pearl in, like the one from www.watchmaterial.com. But this week when I was looking at their site, I couldn't find any of their bezel inserts. I didn't get around to calling their 800 number. I wonder if the rolex police got after them. Smoothing the edges of the bracelet with 600 grit sandpaper and/or polish will take the sharp edges off. Enjoy your watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predfan2001 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Looks great. Much better than that old Ultimate I bought from him. I still feel like I've been violated and that was a year ago Edited April 5, 2008 by predfan2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mentalist Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 This is the famous ETA Noobmariner, a watch that some still don't acknowledge the existence of. I have this very same watch from Andrew and it's fantastic and the best out of the box Sub rep in existence. In person, the pearl does not look anywhere near as zitty as it does in some of the pics and is comparatively quite good compared to others I've seen. Wear it well.

predfan2001 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Oh I forgot about the cyclops misalignment..if its a crystal misalignment issue, don't know if ya heard but one of the best caseback removers is a ball of tape a little smaller than a golf ball. Well they work on crystals to (if you don't want to break the watch down). I've done it to several. Just press a tape ball on the crystal and twist. It may take a couple attempts to get it right but it has always worked for me. Edited April 5, 2008 by predfan2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
