how much would an MBK be if bought from a TD? would you know the advantages / differences/similarities between a MBK and a Noob? thank you!

It's ok, but I don't care for the rehaut. CGs are off but not horrible.

If you're not anal-picky and don't pour over your watch with a loupe, you'll be extremely impressed and happy.
If you try to compare every surface, line, and angle with hi-res pics from the net, you will eventually talk yourself into dissappointment.

you're right Levelman. On my previous rep, Tag Aquaracer 500m, there was the obvious tell of the Tag Logo looking like a piece from a cheap toy... on this one, since its all "printed" I can barely tell the difference from the gen and this one... mainly because i focus on the dial so much and not other parts.

If it looks decent from close up, I doubt anyone can tell (with the 99.99% rule) with normal arms length distance. Unless there is a huge tell that I don't know about. Plus I'm not looking to fool anyone (except myself haha) or to sell this as a gen, so I don't think I'll really care about it and just enjoy the watch.

Patmian, I've asked a lot of experienced members here and other forums and the consensus is that the Noob is the best value for the money and unless you're getting the BK's modded sub, it's really not worth it to get the higher priced ones... That's my input.

thanks!!!

Oh, the one you have posted i think is not a noob... For a noob, I think best price and bet is to go to Timeshop and get one there. ($140 shipped with EMS for non-ceramic asia 2836)

Problem is it has the messed up rehaut engraving that doesnt align and only comes that way. . .

Oh I understand. Before you buy then, make sure you research, look up reviews, and then maybe contact a few members who have had it or has it for their input! (But im sure you knew that already since you're asking now anyway)

i hope you find your watch!

If i where you i would go either for the noob sub or rsh sub..
Since the flaws like rehaut don't mean a lot to you...
Or else if you think these are important go for bk..Noob or bk by me..

^!!! I FORGOT!! RSH has a sub up for sale!! I second this!


I had a nice LV that sold at the geek yesterday.

The demand for non-engraved noobs must not be that high, otherwise the factory would crank it out that way I would think. Just a select few WIS kind of people here. Sneed wrote up a great tutorial on the modding of a noob. Nothing better than a cheap $50 timeshops 21j sub to buy first to get your modding skills up to par before you destroy a nicer eta version fellas. You guys can always PM sneed, Darthalex or me for doing some of these mods for you.
