Dringen, what do you mean when you say "original Rolex"? Do you mean something with more of a classic look? The newer 6 digit ceramic subs from Noob are very good as Soghea says. An alternative would be a 5 digit JF. The latest version is getting a lot of attention and is being considered the best out the box 5 digit rep available at present. https://puretime03.com/watch-brands/rolex/submariner/submariner-16610-ln-black-metal-bezel-jf-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-sh3135.html

By-Tor, I had to do a double-take when I saw your name as a thread poster. It's great to see you back amongst the dusty pages of the forum.

IMO gen crystals are only worth it if: 1) the crystal is plexi (the non-OEM crystal profiles never match OEM perfectly) 2. the crystal has a LEC or AR coating

Good morning ! Thank you for your comments ... always interesting to have another viewpoint ! Even though I find you very tolerant with the OP ! My watchsmith did secure the dial that came with the watch to the new ETA movement mechanically, not with gum .. Regarding the movement that came with the watch .. I specifically asked the seller about it, asked for a picture, asked if the swiss ETA was confirmed .. answer : "yes" ! And if you read the other thread(RWI) I gave you the link of, you see that, there, he was obliged to go to "stated" ..! No matter the cost difference between a real swiss ETA and a chinese copy, I was cheated .. The scratches on the case were not an real issue for me .. I got rid of immediately, I just listed these in my thread .. just to reinforce the fact that poor work was done .. I did not ask for a raised crown .. the seller pointed out how marvellous it was done by him .. to tell you the truth, I dont see real difference between before and now that a new Athaya crown and tube have been installed, without trying to raise them ... but indeed I am a novice buyer .. when the novice seller should have been a bit more honest in his bulls.. narrative .. I took his narrative at face value .. I thought I would have really a nice rep, well worked out by a "specialist" (that's what he claims to be) .. how naïve ! I would be interested to know how you would rate the price vs the quality and the reality of the watch .. the bezel is another point .. Anyhow, prior to issue my thread about his behavior, I tried to discuss the matter over the MP .. I had had at least a dozen exchanges already .. but as soon as the problems popped up, no answer whatsoever to my three messages (and he was not on leave since he showed up on the RWI forum at the same time) .. my intent was indeed to work out an agreement. I have contacted the team here and am expecting some move. Rgds,

Who says you can't wear a sub on leather

From what I read it's based on the 7750 but highly modified. I won't pay $2k though. I'll make an offer. Already got the dial and I'm thinking the rep hands will do.
