Submariner opinions

[dippy]

So, I have this great friend who has really helped me out over the last year or so. He is really into the blue TT Sub and has a crap replica from about 6 years ago that he loves. I want to get him an updated version.

I know the best one out there won't be available for a while, so I have looked into other unmodded pieces that I think would be of decent quality. I have come up with two, both from Josh (although most other dealers carry it!), and I'd appreciate opinions of both.

1. The TT Noobmariner. Bytor did a great review and it looks like a great piece. My own personal issue is that I have owned several Noob pieces and the case seems to fit rather small. the dimensions are correct, but it just seems small when compared to the gen. I also don't see the pearl as being the "best". Just mu opinion though. $328 + shipping.

2. The "older" wrapped version. I know the dial isn't as good, but overall visually the watch looks nicer. I don't know, again maybe its just me and my old age vision! $308 + shipping.

thoughts, opinions???? Especially interested in posts from folks who own either one (pics would be great!)

Thanks everyone!

Old version.

[By-Tor]

That older version has a terrible flaw: Datewheel and cyclops positioned way too right.

I would never recommend that over the Noob version which is (imho) very good and looks fundamentally correct.

But hey, it's your money.

Never noticed that before, wow that is pronounced....................

Point made and opinion appreciated, thanks ByTor. Purchasing the noob today!
