New Release: Noob Skydweller

[KrX]

It's a 2813 base watch so open the caseback, release the stem with it in the winding position and remove the movement tabs. Remove the hands and dial and see how the middle dial piece is attached. It's possible its glued onto the back of the outer dial with a transparency overtop the GMT wheel. If so, the inner dial would need to be sliced away, realigned and reglued. Take care not to nick the visible part of the transparency if present. The inner dial also may just be attached with dial dots (double-sided tape mini squares or circles).

You need to hold the stem release button down to re-insert the stem.

Thanks bro

KJ2020 , what do you mean your printed date wheels? Custom or something else?

Yes custom sized Rolex fonts, reduced scale horizontally. Rolex fonts are much better than the stock DG fonts.

Compare these two datewheels, you will easily see which is the stock DG

KJ2020 , I agree. I’ve been doing fun stuff with the 2813/3804. I have a slate of cheap ones and have been debating getting a “good one “ from cousins but the date wheel is still icky. I never thought about a custom wheel.

You get them made you say? Hmm

No functional month indicator on the TWF.

Datewheel issue can't be fixed (easily) because the date window is too narrow to fit a normal size font. Its the same issue the dials had on the previous versions. I made a custom datewheel by scaling the fonts 85% horizontally so they would fit in the window. Its actually what Rolex did on the gen - the two digit date fonts are scaled down horizontally, and space reduced between the digits.

I should be getting my printed datewheels any day now, this sample is less clear than the final result. The sample has some bleeding due to paper. Final is on a transparency.

Thanks man, that makes sense!

Are you sure it’s a noob? The bezel should twist and change the month.

Such a shame about the numbers on the GMT ring. 22-24 look like they’ve been bent the wrong way. Especially 24.

 

[tangokilo]

I'm hoping that Noob will release the two tone and fix the 22 and 24 numbering issues on the GMT ring. Probably never happen though

 

[tangokilo]

Why can't we just source the TWF GMT ring from their recent release and have molders put the TWF GMT ring into the Noob case? Should be easy swap and make this Noob look one million times better.

legend, Spongebob, is this possible to do? Thanks in advance.

TT will come, probably this year. GMT wheel will probably never change.
