Hola fellas,

So I've been around for a bit over two years now, going on to my second year as VIP member. My "hobby" which now seems more like an addiction started off in the majority due to a close friend of mine, a member here as well Mr. Sasa408

I have always liked watches and had a coupe of very cheap and now laughable pieces, then my co worker (sasa408) started showing me what I was missing....

Aside form being a good friend, he is also a very knowledgeable PAM and Rolex expert, so I am always bugging him with "noob" questions, but it is great to have other people to share this with, that way I know that I am not completely crazy.

I initially bought up a whole bunch of cheap stuff wanting to try stuff out and now I am at the point where I need my collection to reflect exactly what I like. I will post the rest as I match them up with the right strap and finish getting them modded so you can all share in my excitement. Since my wife seems to think they all look the same, I mentioned that her shoes all look the same to me as well and she didn't think that was as funny.


The 111 for me has been interesting. I picked up my first cheap version on here and since then have owned like 8 of them. Most noteable have been the 111 N series from both H and Noob factory. I prefer the Noob for the accuracy and details but the H fac for the Lume it had on it. For a while I though about picking both up and having the dials switched. Then I thought I was done with 44mm Pams, and then I ran into this thread,

From there I knew I needed another one to fill the need. Strodda is an all around great guy, and it was a pleasure doing business with him. He has already serviced a couple of my pieces and has helped out with other issues and requests I have had. When I decided on this piece I knew I was going to enjoy it but I did not think I would ENJOY it THIS MUCH...
I took it out for a stroll in the city on Saturday and when my wife was going through the pics she asked, why are there so many pics of your watch!!! Needless to say I don't think she understood the fascination. Hope you guys enjoy this thing, if not then I will have to enjoy it myself. Sorry for the lint and dust, I am no photographer and tried the best I could with the phone

  • Noob v3 base
  • Mounted on OEM strap
  • Full Swiss Gear Train
  • Swiss Main plate jewel

On to the pics...

Very nice pics man. And I love the movement. I almost feel conceited drooling over it, but it just looks so damn good!

When I get the swiss crown and winding gears in, I'll let you check them out. Should be a definite upgrade and final touch to your movement.

Thanks guys! Not sure on the strap, I was lucky to pick it up on a purchase locally with a watch. Sold the watch kept the strap :)

Will definitely consider the final touches Strodda!
