one to hold you over until release... other than the date issues its a great rep. I have been looking at gen pics and the sharpness of the crown leaves something to be desired as well... anyone done a crown/tube swap on this bad boy yet?

Is this back in stock yet?

Checked with Ryan a week ago and he said no.

any current noob EX2 owners noticing paint coming off their bezel numbers? I am trying to fire out how to repair now… the 1 in the 16 is chipped down to silver.

black enamel? Ok sounds good. Wish I could do them all. Same kind of idea with the PPM? Obviously in black though… Guess I can get like model car "Testors" paint and a super fine tipped brush

yes exactly mate worth a try

When are these coming back in stock? Hope they fix the clasp closing issue. That gap is annoying as hell.

I think the 2836 are hard to source now, thus the lack if stock

Mine has a bad clasp gap as well. If you push up on the spring loaded part it sits flush but the gap comes back when you let go. I have tried a thousand ways of fixing it with no luck.

There's a easy fix trick with putting a small piece of aluminium foil under the clasp element. Should work 100% but i don't remember the link atm.

That makes sense. When I put pressure on the spring loaded part, the clasp sits fine. Might be fixable with a shim, I will give it a shot. Thanks!

If it's any consolation the gen has the same issue. If you wear it often, eventually the black enamel starts to wear away.

I think a super fine tip is a must. You'll need to do this a bit differently than the PPM mod... They usually overfill the number, and scrape away excess on the ceramic. Since this bezel is SS, you would wind up putting scratches into it when removing excess. Let us know how it goes... I think I will need to do mine soon.

Trusty is the only TD i can find that has these in stock and his is BP version. I would much rather have noob. Really hoping we see another run of these from Noob in the next few months.

I have the Noob version from BK. Got it in May. Keeps fantastic time. Have paint chipped out of several numbers on the bezel. Much more troubling is the fact that the orange "Explorer 2" on the dial is completely gone...faded off in two months. Any suggestions on sourcing a new dial? BK doesn't seem able to get me one.
