Star69 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 after Tribals review i could not wait to get me this new toy - so i bought 1 of the "test samples" - thanks Eurotimez and Tribal for the fast + excellent service today i got the watch - here some pictures : this is how it arrived in the morning - i wore it at work - good enough to go : the engraving .. okay on the pics it looks fugly - in RL is not that bad : a naked pic : the caseback has a sign from a watchmaker : asia glory : nice crown : yes somebody worked before on that watch : the best part - the case : i decided to remove the engraving - dremel action after : and assembled again : do i like the watch ? yes the case is very nice - like the bezel assembly - tube and crown - dial is also good enough. on the way is a gen insert, crown, crystal + ETA movement. ill let you know if it fits not so good : the date font is a little to big - lets see how it looks under the gen crystal..... cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey nice Good Idea to take the dremel... haha Frank is the Dremel King since Cologne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 As B-T would say, the rehaut thickness looks great. Of course, when it takes gen parts like a crystal and bezel insert, that tells you that the dimensions are right on. Is this a MBK dial or the Noob dial?

pfran42 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Does it have the 28800 bph Asian movement? Will they offer an option to switch to an ETA movement? Edited June 26, 2008 by pfran42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Does it have the 28800 bph Asian movement?

manuel Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 When will the euromariner with lugholes and no engravings be produced? I am dying to build a 16800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 When will the euromariner with lugholes and no engravings be produced? I am dying to build a 16800 removing the engravings is easy - for the lugholes you need to find somebody with the right equipment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmt Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 it should be a Noob dial - the printing is very nice - so i think it is Frank Can someone explain this? I never understood what folks meant by the dial printing being better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrandazzo Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Man! You took your dremel....and you....what....I can't believe it! You're an (insane) genius!

But I'll wait for the lugholed case Every night I go to sleep dreaming of the 16800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTimez Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Nice Frank, very nice.... May I ask you what you used for on your dremel, I also have a dremel a complete set with lots of stuff to put on the dremel, which one did you use? You got a picture of it? yes there is a noobdial and noobhands, noobdatewheel overlay in this case. Wear it well! Can't wait to see the pics with gen-crystal, how it compares...

Chris basically i used different grade of wet and dry sandpaper (for metal) - - this will remove the engravings .... than i polished it up with my dremel-tool like this : this time not in a hotel room which is not a dremel btw. - a cheapo fake dremel and after that the last finish comes from Cap Cod. cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 WOW you make that look so EASY!!!! Nice job on a pretty nice watch to, and Chris is a top dealer ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 little update : watertest survived case is good - watch seems to be waterproof : the movement runs -15 sec per day. im happy with my el cheapo WM9 Sub cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thanks for the Tip and Trick, maybe could be interesting mod that I could do for some members who don't want to wait for the NON-ENGRAVED version which is still in the making (ordered has already been placed just awaiting the factory)... Nice pics and thanks for taking the time to make a video Don't forget when you put a gen crystal on, to PM me so I can take a look Wear it in good health.

takashi Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Indeed it looks very good but I still can't pass the barrier of having a Sub Rolex. My first and only Sub came from 99USD River, sold it shortly after that. As for this one, it will be an easy swap to a high beat DG Chinese movement if you don't have the right hands. The movement is cheap too, I believe Eurotimez can include the hi beat DG as a spare movement. PS: That is a super sweet dremel job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yes Takashi, Can get DG 4813 as spare movement at only + 25 usd when purchased with a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 little update : gen crown fits perfect without mods on the rep tube. ETA movement is installed - spacer ring fits - only new hands are needed. cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hej Frank, Pm me later, I got ETA hands for you "noobversion submariner hands"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
