now on to my question...

 

my Noobmariner LV is way too new looking for me. and way too new looking for the strap I want to put on it. what can I do to make it a little more vintage looking without disassembling it? any ideas or tips?

get some 2,500 wet and dry paper and rub that over the strap and case will tone it down and make it look used rather than new

Sandpaper, hammer, A1 sauce, dunking in toilet for a week...

We need a new section - "Pseudo-vintage watches."

Use some tape over the crystal to protect it, then put it in a box filled with nails......shake it!

A trick I've found that works (moderately well) is to put in in your pockets with your keys, change, nails, etc. By the end of the day, it is vintage.
