By-Tor Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Great shots Robert!!! The Noobmariner cases seem to be generally very tightly sealed. I recall Neil took a few of his reps to a hot sauna/steamroom once, and the Noob was the only replica that survived without problems. But then again what did you except... it's a Rolex.

Sir-Lancelot Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Great. Very well put together. If that is your pool, I am soooooo jealous. If not, the only thing missing would be the checking out the women that are not my wife noob. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hmmmm, wish it was warm enough for Noob swimming here Great sequence of shots Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Fan Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 A quick question! Did you do some additional waterproofing of the noob or did you go diving with the the price tag on it! Its very important for me because I am looking for a summer pool watch and I dont want to risk my ORIS CC with it! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertb Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I never trust anything with the tag on it. I greased the caseback seal, crown tube seal, and the crown seal. Took all of 2 minutes and now the watch is totally waterproof. I bought 3 noobs (1 for me and 2 to give away) and all three had loose casebacks from the factory. I hear the SSD and SSD V2 are waterproof from the factory, might want to look into one of those if you don't want to grease the seals yourself. Better yet, you can get a BK mariner which is a noob with Swiss movement that is modded, greased and tested. Here is a shot of my noob next to my SSD version 2.

Its very important for me because I am looking for a summer pool watch and I dont want to risk my ORIS CC with it! R EuroTimez say they ensure and test their watches are Waterproof. They make a big deal of their QC process. EuroTimez QC process Has anyone put any of their watches to the water test ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Fan Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 You know what thats a great Idea! I just wrote Chris an email! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 The watches coming from china (in thailand I don't got the proper equipment, but I can assure the noobs are waterproof for swimming after silicon grease job, hadn't had one fail yet) From china, all non chrono watches.... All undergo a waterpressure test till 50m --from now there is also a sticker on the watch when it passes the 50m test--- (only NON CHRONO WATCHES, chrono watches wouldn't make sense as their usually only 30m water resistant). It goes into a dry watercompression, all rubbers gets silicon grease and if you open the case back you will see it is marked by my watchmaker that it passed QC. Hope this helps.

hambone Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 When I am on vacation, I see people looking at me as if to say, "What is that geezer doing taking photos of his watch?" My family laughs at me, but it is all good. Very nice photos BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
