ajoesmith Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I know that the Noobmariners, beginmariners etc are the same watch and are very good out of the box for the: Submariners Yachtmasters Are the other Asian Rollies up to the same standard? e.g. Explorer Explorer 2 Explorer 2 Vintage Newman GMT master II etc... I have looked at these watches and they seem pretty good. Maybe this has been discussed before? I have read Bytors review of the noob GMT master II but it doesnt look the same as the ones available now, maybe they have changed a few things? The crown looks quite thin as it should, im not expert so if there are any out there please give me some pointers Here is a quick pic from Andrews site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 That GMT II in your picture is simply dreadful, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the watches I have reviewed. Please, get that "thing" out of my sight! The one you want to get is the same one that comes from the MBK. I think Andrew sells the good version as well. TTK and bklm1234 too. The Noobfactory Rolexes are: GMT II Explorer II Noobmariner Yacht-Master TT Noobmariner ETA (comes in 2 gold "grades") I'm not sure, but I think the secs at '6 Daytona comes from this same factory as well. And as far as I know the good GMT and ExpII are only available in ETA. The correct hand stack versions are out of production. GMT needs various mods, mainly crown guards and new bezel. The crown is oversized too, and the GMT hand is a bit too thick. The "base" watch is brilliant though. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can confirm that the Daytona I have carries the same serial as the Noobs... I recently removed the bracelet and it was quite a surprise. I'm talking about this one (which has been reviewed by BT too: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=47527) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Right so the Noob factory makes: GMT II Explorer II Noobmariner Yacht-Master TT Noobmariner ETA (comes in 2 gold "grades") OK i know where to get the noob sub and the noob yachtmaster but what about The Noob GMT II and Explorer II? Where can i get them? Do they also have the same serial number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
