sconehead 5 Posted December 30, 2010 Btw, the neomariners (the new noobmariners) seem to have the same rehaut depth as the original noobmariner...hmmm interesting.. Just noticed...you trying to coin this name and go down in rep history? The TWB watches were actually too deep rehaut wise but the big factor when compared to the noob was the bezel, both in profile, size and teeth definition...just my personal opinion mind...

trailboss99 994 Posted December 30, 2010 Exactly. Just a good 21J in that one. They do exist. I still have all the watches and I now have a Vibrograph which I just need to get a ribbon for. Then I can do a full accuracy test. Remember. they were tested on a bench as well, not being worn. If it gained three seconds on it's back it may gain at least double that in daily wear. Col.

All in all I think we can conclude that the original noobmariner is a thing of the past. That the word now describes an affordable, well made, introductory submariner. The only fact is that one has to first chose their dealer. All in all, at this time you can get a nice sub from anyone of the trusted dealers for a good price.

trailboss99 994 Posted December 30, 2010 NeoMariner? That's not bad actually. Same meaning as the original name yet a new name for a new watch. "Noobfactory" is gunna stick for the maker tho, the title is universal now, the Chinese use it amongst themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted December 30, 2010 All in all I think we can conclude that the original noobmariner is a thing of the past.

All in all, at this time you can get a nice sub from anyone of the trusted dealers for a good price. All in all, the Noobmariner IS a thing of the past, back then it was coined by Pugwash to " describe an affordable, well made, introductory submariner". The fact that there are so many good Subs now available from the trusted dealers, consolidates the fact that we should ban the epithets 'Noobmariner' / 'Noobfactory' et al, and just let the current crop of watches stand or fall on their own own merit.

ebzen02 341 Posted October 30, 2011 Don't think there is such a thing as the original "noobmariner", however, for $100 you are getting an amazing sub from Reg!! I have one that I gave to my father-in-law and it is awesome... I did change the bezel insert to a better watchmaker one for just under $30.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
