cschenone Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 First off I do not claim to be a moder, just someone who has a passion for this hobby. I purchased a noobmariner on the cheap due to a movement that was DOA. Yesterday I went over to Ofrei during my lunch break and bought a DG2813 for $15 and some change and a small tube of silicone grease. I happily broke out my basic watch tool kit that I picked up on eBay for $12.00 and opened the noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Good job, nice to hear it all worked out and you resurected a doa watch. Congrats. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 That is a nice case and based on the SN, it is recent. I ruled out Paul, Josh, Andrew and Angus. Some like Silix don't show SN's. I didn't check EU sellers cause I'm in the US. Interestingly, Paul sells a $99 sub with case # D320840 and decent rehaut and apparently good date position. Josh sells the same case w/ ETA, but the date is too far right ($218) as does Paul (w-748- $229). Andrew sells the same case in his Ultimate ($488) but date position is correct. Maybe someone will be able to tell us more about F641105. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 That's a very nice sub case. You chose a good one as the base for your mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschenone Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 thank you for the kind words. The case looks better in person. The one thing I want to emphasize it what a HUGE difference the gen bezel makes. Its more than just the pearl. The blackness of the bezel has a dull/shinyness about it that the reps just don't compare. Sorry if my description does not make sence, but you have to see it. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I asked bklm1234 about this case yesterday and he thought it was a TW Best case. The deep cut of the bezel teeth and of course the rehaut. River and Eddie Lee are the two main sellers of TW Best, but there could be others. And of course, I haven't seen Eddie Lee around for a while. I keep hoping to find an inexpensive TW Best case- to hell with the movement, etc., inside.
