Euromariner Review by tribal

[tribal]

After a litlle wait the Euromariners from Chris (Eurotimez) arrived ....
He send me three samples of his Euromariners...
So what is a Euromariner ?
It's a Submariner based on the MBW/MBK Case with Noobmariner Dial, Noob Bracelet
and powered By an Asian DG 2813 movement...
Most of the Members bought Two Subs to build one good one....
Based on a MBW Case they installed a Noob Dial which is the best (we all know),installed also the Noob Bracelet
which is nicer than the older massiv MBW one....
So we invest a lot of money to become a nice Sub....

Chris offers now his Euromariner with the best of Two Worlds MBW/MBK Case and Noob Parts...
He send me one that is based on the older MBW Case (We all know this Case)

As we can see it's nice, Datemag is good on this one,the Noob Dial looks also good
and the bracelet fits the case fine...
On the older Batch of the MBW/MBK Sub magnifiaction was way too big.
Bezel Insert is shitty like on all Rep Subs and must replaced..
CG's need a little bit of work, but we all know this

Now here is the movement

He told me it's an Asian DG 2813 and that it is a really good but cheap movement....
So why not build the Euromariner with this movement to increase the price of the whole watch?
Good Idea I think.

He send me also two Samples with a different Case.
This ones are based on the new MBW/MBK Cases which is totally different to the older MBW/MBK's
So what's the differents?
New Case has Bezel assembly like the WM9, also fat Tube with right dimensions,different Crown,
also the Crystal assembly is like the WM9 or Gen...
The Case replicated the newest Submariner Model with engraved Rehaut...
Let us see some detailed Pics

The Watch

Now take a look of the Bezel assembly

You see it's like the real Deal...
Retaining Ring, Sealing, Bezelwasher

Crystal assembly like Gen

I compared it to WM9 and it's all the same....
Also the shape and construction of this Case is the same as WM9
So I think both Cases came from same Factory
Only difference is the engraved Rehaut...
A Gen Insert will snap in also a Gen Crystal will fit..!
Engravings on the Rehaut are a little bit too tall in my opinion...

Lets take a closer look to the Tube and Crown

Fat Tube like the real deal

This is the Caseback

As you can see the engravings are different to WM9 but its the same Caseback

The Engravings between the Lugs are not clear maybe why this are samples

Datemag is also good on this one,but we need better Date Wheel Overlays,because the Numbers
must be slightly smaller....
This is on all Rep Subs the problem I think

The Noob Bracelet fits this Case also fine

Here we have the LV which has the same New Case as the Black one...
There is not much to say about this.Great Noob Dial fat Minute Hand.....
All is the same as on the Black one...
Only the Datemag is slightly bigger than on the black Modell
Here are the Pics..

So I think It's a nice idea from Chris to offer this Submariner Modell
You get the Best of Two Worlds in one watch...
I remember he told this one you can get for 250USD
Great Price for a damm nice watch......
I asked him also if the new Case is available with no engravings on the Rehaut..
He claimed he will get them also soon...

At least I must thank Chris for the samples of his Euromariners....
Hope this review was interesting and will help to decide for some members to get a new Sub

...Fantastic review and very deep in-look at the Euromariners, mate!

I like the way all of them look, but I have a slightly preference by the engraved rehauts...
This surely made me want to get a black bezel Sub (as I´m pretty much satisfied so far with my LV) But later on, I should update mine for a 2008 LV with engraved rehaut.

Thanks for your effort and pictures!

Cheers,
Spirit.

Thanks for the review. Im planning to get this in a near future for a franken sub project. i just want to get your opinions if the rehaut is correct in diameter as well?

 

[tribal]

Rehaut is good on this one.

 

[LegendofSpeed]

A great review from one of the most renowned Rolex experts in the community....

Thanks Tribal!

 

[tribal]

Thanks for your kind words.
There is something special about this in the pipeline soon.
Next comes a special review with a non engraved rehaut Version of this Sub.
After that comes one with Lugholes!
Keep you updated when Chris (Eurotimez) send me the new ones.
Than I show how easy this one is to mod with gen parts like
Bezel Insert Glass etc.

Cheers Tribal

thanks for posting this, i might have to own a black sub with lug holes. do you know if the holes and spring bars will be the correct size? so far i like the sound of it.

Thank you very much for posting this here. I have poured over this now several times ..
Simply put... necessary study material for true collectors!

I'm excited to see what Chris comes up with.. I'm actually getting excited about Rolex again..

Thanks!

Echo what takashi said... Tribal is one of the most notable Rolex experts around! Thanks for all your efforts.

Hmm, I can't seem to find this on the eurotimez website. There is nothing listed as 'euromariner'. There are MBK and MBW, and also some rolex subs using the noobmariner case, but I'm unsure of which is which.

Any clues?

 

[chano79]

The datefont on this one looks terrible though

 

[pcsam]

[pilworx]
