  1. Well an order went wrong with Silix and they were good enough to give me a credit. The problem wasn't their fault, I requested a part that they tried their best to get but it wasn't available. After a few months of waiting, I asked them to just go ahead and send me my SFSO that I had also ordered (I was anxious because I had a gen rubber strap for the SFSO waiting). I just had to explain that because Silix has never done me wrong....though I was starting to worry this time but they came through. As I've said before...the communications from Silix may not be what you're used to (very slow and you usually have to initiate) but they are the best I've delt with and they always come through.

    Anyway, the credit wasn't that much so I was limited to an asian powered selection. I've always wondered what the cheapie modern nodate Sub looked like so I ordered it, mainly out of curiousity. I received it today and turns out it looks just like the one I received from Trustytime (that I returned...that's another story) awhile back....except the band isn't as good. It has the same dial with the bad "Oyster Perpetual" fonts. Other than that it has all of the bad nodate Sub rep features....no lugholes and a sel band. Here's a few pics for the curious like me.....yeah it's not very good but actually better than I expected.

    If someone would do a good nodate It would really sell

  2. I just got my DSN 005 and I will post pics asap. This is my first rep. When viewing the watch at extreme angles from the side the crystal distorts the view of the face. To give you guys an idea of what I am talking about this often comes up when driving and your left hand is in the 10 o'clock postition on the steering wheel and you sneek a peek at the watch. There is no issue when that you are looking at the watch in a top down view . Is this a rep only issue or does this happen with gen PAMs also? Is there a solution to this? I do not have this issue with my gen yachtmaster but have seen it on older mineral crystal rolex models. I am not complaining I just want to know if this is some sort of defect. BTW other than this issue I love the watch.
