Yeah, you have to specifically look for that caseback. It doesn't normally come on reps. How about you just get a 508 and call it a day. Really anything with a closed caseback will be what you need.

i was reading that submersible watches has bad alignment for the bezal hence i didn't look into it, whereas looking for a boutique 47mm :)

You can definitely find submersible watches with lined up bezels...

Maybe look at a 127?

So have you gotten your choices down to a list? Submersibles can have bad alignment, it's not a general condition. Methinks you must read more.

hi bro!
thanks for the recommendation.
i was googling.. it seems to be see through casing..

For the noob 372 pricing, you won't find a better watch! Trustytimes and Puretime have the best price on these. Then get a case back from nightwatch http://www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk/shop/index.php

All you need then is a good strap. In total you can score the full watch customised for under 300!! Which is an amazing deal to start on pams. Here's mine with a heroic18 strap next to my home plate.

My opinion is that the Noob 372 Font is off a bit and too clean looking. Also the Cannon Pinion is too wide and the hands are a bit too rose gold lookin gwhen the gen to me has a more yellow tint. The ZF 372 seems to be the closest to the gen as the Cannon Pinion is pretty much spot on and the Hands seem to be the right color. Only thing I would change is the Crown Guard from the ZF and replace it with a Noob. You can find a comparison on here of the Rep and Gen on here.
