Thanks Panerai - good idea! What are the thoughts on the rep diamond markers. Do they look obviously fake? Or do they look quite realistic given the quality of diamonds used on the gens are low anyway?

Thanks again everyone for your valuable input! I have decided to go with the "wrapped" version, but after doing more research I have a couple of other questions I would love some advice on! 1) What are the main differences between the BP and Noob versions of this watch and which would you recommend? Intime is selling the BP wrapped version and Watchoutlet the Noob wrapped version. 2) I like the look of the watch with diamond markers. Do any of you have replicas with these, and if so, how do they look/last? I am thinking of trying to find a dealer that could add this to the watch but want to make sure it is worth it first. Thanks as always!

Thanks to all of you for the advice - massively helpful! panerai 153 - gorgeous watch! I am definitely convinced now to go with the two toned versus all gold based on all of your expertise. The question now is wrapped or the $500 cheaper option. It seems like on this there are differing opinions. I love the look of the watch on the intime site (both versions), and will wear it every day as long as the reality of it matches the pictures. Some of you have said that the wrapped will last longer than the cheaper version. I guess what I am wondering is, what do you think the shelf life of each would be if I wear each every day? That is really how I will make my decision since they both look good. Sorry for all the questions, and I promise when I buy it I will post pictures for all of you to critique! Thanks as always!

Thanks for all of your advice! This is hugely helpful. automatico - I don't think I have the time or passion at this point in time to build my own watch, but it is awesome that you and other members do. Pretty cool! presidentwatch - your watch looks beautiful! So are you saying that if you were me you would go with the cheaper option and feel comfortable it would last and that it is just a small aesthetic difference for the $500 extra?

Thanks again very much. I plan to wear this watch everyday for work and so what I am looking for is something that obviously looks great and works well, but that will be durable. I am OK with spending the $1,000 on the intime version as long as it is high quality and will last. I was just wondering if the price difference versus the puretime watch was justified and whether the durability would be considerably better with the intime version. It seems like most replicas purchased on here are more in line with the puretime than the intime cost and just wanted to make sure I was not getting ripped off and paying more for nothing.

presidentwatch - that is beautiful! Is that a replica and if so where did you purchase it from and which model was it? sogeha - thanks for the reading material. So what I get out of it is that the "wrapped" in the intime version is preferred. Is that right and is that why the $500 higher price? Does anyone have either of these and have any suggestions or advice?

Noticed I made a mistake in my last post. I am looking for a 116613. Here is the Puretime version at $428 http://www.puretimewatch.pw/rolex-submariner-116613-ln-blue-ceramic-sku5456.html versus the Intime version at $938 http://www.intime01.co/rollie/2686-submariner-bp-116613lb-blue-ss-yg-wrapped-swiss-eta-2836.html. I was hoping some more experienced than me could advise on the price difference, as well as any quality differences and suggestions. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice here as it looks like many of you have this exact watch. I am still really new to this forum and am trying to understand as much as I can before purchasing. I asked about this in another unrelated thread, so thought I would create a new post to make it clearer. I am looking to buy a blue faced Submariner and I want it to be as high quality and close to genuine as possible. I am having trouble deciding between all gold and two toned and have a few questions. 1) on these replica watches, does the gold flake off? Am I better off going for two tone if I am going to wear this to work everyday and use it a lot? 2) I am having a lot of trouble telling why certain versions of the same watch are more expensive than one another and which one to buy. For instance, this is $366 http://www.puretimewatch.pw/rolex/submariner/rolex-submariner-16613-ln-ss-and-yg-blue-dial-on-ss-and-yg-bracelet-eta2836-sku5102.html and this is $938 http://www.intime01.co/rollie/2686-submariner-bp-116613lb-blue-ss-yg-wrapped-swiss-eta-2836.html. Both come from dealers I have read about on this site, but what am I getting for $938 that I won't be getting for $366? I will pay the higher price if it is worthwhile as I am looking to buy something for the long term. Thanks again!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. As I said, separate from repairing the bracelet on my Sea Dweller, I am looking to buy a blue faced Submariner. I want it to be as high quality and close to genuine as possible.

Thanks for your reply. I will continue to search and see what I can find. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience and found a solution, because it would be sad to just throw out the entire watch due to a faulty bracelet. And yes, it is a real post. The only reason I mentioned the other sites was I wanted to know if anyone had ordered either the watch from that site or the band from the other site before and their experience. Thanks again.

Hi everyone, This is my first post. I was really lucky to stumble upon this fantastic site! I live in Toronto, and purchased my one and only replica watch to date from Watch Cartel about 4 years ago. The watch, a DeepSea Sea Dweller, has been amazing. Unfortunately, the band recently fell apart and I am not sure what to do. The watch still works perfectly despite my never having it serviced. I was hoping someone could please provide me with some advice? Watch Cartel is no longer around, so I cannot go back to them. AnyReplicaWatches does have a replacement band. Do you think if I order that it will fit even though I did not buy the original from that site? Thanks in advance for your advice and look forward to getting involved in the site! As a final note, I am looking to buy a SubMariner with a blue face and a two toned band. Ideally with Swiss movement. Does anyone have this watch, love it, and recommend a site from whom to purchase? Also, I have read that Swiss movement is not worth it. Is this really the case? Thanks again!
