First time post here and thank you all for the valuable intel you provided indirectly when i was evaluating what to buy and where to buy. Unfortunately I lost the crown protector on my NOOB 351. I’ve searched all over and can’t find anyone who can say with confidence that the replacement will fit. Can anyone please give me some direction? Many thanks

Afaik there is no noob 351. You have either a kw or zf and need the appropriate changes. Ask your dealer.

I bought it from China noob watch.com. Isn’t that noob factory? They didn’t have a replacement. Contacted toroBravos and he couldn’t help me either. Thank you

That is the common misconception of unsuspecting customers. It's like a drug dealer setting up a physical store. It's just not done. The fact that they would advertise a watch never been released by Noob as a Noob watch only goes to show they are not the website of the actual Noob factory. Unfortunately without a clear idea of what the actual factory is, it can be difficult to get a replacement part. Can you show the watch (front and back)? Maybe we can guess which factory made it.

Thanks mysterio-definitely feel taken advantage of however it is what it is. Still like the watch however finding the replacement parts is a real pain. Here are some links to pictures and I really appreciate any help. I couldn't compress the picts as my phone is acting weird. Thanks again

Thanks Tomze. My rep is a 44mm. The one you provided was 47mm. I've checked all over ebay as well. Appreciate the help though

Hey AndyRey I have a spare crown guard for 44mm, I bought a noob PAM390 from a member recently and it came with the wrong crown guard on it but I was in process of ordering a watch from a TD and got them to add in a new Noob Crown guard for the watch. So I can sell you this spare if you like?

Scratch that as you will need a titanium one for that watch. mines steel. Just checked against my 351 and you will notice the difference.

Crap but thank you very much superspark69 for checking! I was really happy for a second but I do appreciate you looking to make sure the finish will match. Take care

Well from the location of the balance wheel, it's a VSF. I have not seen a P.9000 V2 on a PAM351 so I would guess this is the one released around April of 2017.

You might want to ask the TDs for the crown guard coming from this watch. Good luck.
