I've noticed that many of our great members here have a really good way of listing a piece for sale. For example: https://rwg.cc/topic/193489-fs-in-eu-3-oem-panerai-straps-some-rep-straps-for-pam-and-iwc/ Great listing! Could we perhaps implement as routine for sale postings: Transaction Desired - Location - Make/Condition - Extras For example: FS - EU - Rolex 5517 - Custom Built Super Franken Anything to that effect.... that way poor American trash like me isn't always gleefully clicking on things that are located in f'in Denmark. 😉

From the description, this is the TW best sub case that came after the WM9 v3. I don't recall which movement that watch had, but either a 2824 or 2836 can be serviced and repaired easily enough. BK had the dial and hands superlumed and with the gen parts, I'd consider this a $750-800 watch. I recently looked at a JF 16610 for a project. At a cost of a little over $400, it was appealing, but then when you looked at servicing the movement, a new date wheel and possibly new reversing wheels, you were easily up over $800 in total costs.

Ruby's site said $89 usd when I pulled it up- seems fair to me

Good LORD that thing is handsome. Beautiful tropical dial!

Checked out the menu AJ looks great! Not to shabby!! LOL

Thanks Guys Just back from Dinner at one of my favorite Restaurants, Gravetye Manor, Bob we'll take you there next tie! AJ

Part of that would depend on which version of the BK Sub you have (there were three). The last version was IIRC about $575 for the base watch. The added parts would have brought you up to close to $1,000 all-in at the time. Now the bad .... You have a TC bracelet you say has some damage (and from the one picture we can see doesn't fit particularly well), a damaged dial, and it either runs poorly or you've made a bad joke about that. You also have more competition for quality 16610's available new (JF), and any TC v6 or V7 that's out there will be better overall. Given the condition you are stating your watch is in currently, you are probably in the $600-$700 range (assuming this is a v3 with the ETA 2824).

I’ve ordered this one from Ruby. http://rubyswatch.com/products/k15-|-submariner-|-5517-|-bezel-insret-1878 Looks like the numerals are better than the Phong I currently have installed.

Thanks, I think it was a custom/ one off? I bought it a couple years ago on another watch forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
