robertb Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Let me preface this post by saying that this forums is a wealth of information. I am new to the rep game and have never owned one but after seeing these glowing reviews, I have to have some! I have a gen 2 tone blue sub and wanted a SS daily. I ordered a black SS sub from Trusty (Andrew) and he has 2 versions of the cheap sub. 1. "newbie" sub for $98 2. "beginner" sub for $78 The problem here is that by definition, "noob" = beginner = newbie! Andrew said that the "beginner" is the one officially referred to as the "noob" but the "newbie" has a nicer mag, date dial and band. So my question is: Is the more expensive "newbie" an improved version of the "beginner" or "noob" watch? This is way too confusing and way too difficult for a sub $100 purchase (pun intended) but I really want the "noob" whatever that means.

cornerstone Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 The "Noobmariner" is the same as Narikaa's "Nymphomariner" or EuroTimez's, I believe. It's sourced from Thailand, not China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Trusty is the guy to ask these questions and he has already told you - but the "newbie" has a nicer mag, date dial and band. At this price I would spend the extra 20 bucks. It will be a nice entry level watch for you that most of us have bought at one time or another.

Stephane Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Get Eurotimez or Narika's NoobMariner. This is the only "real" Noob Sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
