can you guys give me a clue on winding? It's not a UPO it's a 42m, but with a chinese movement. shaking you can hear the motor running, but still only lasted about 9 hours. Winding stopped it till it was shaken again.. Any clues as to how to wind, one pull, date, 2 pulls hands move... ??

Nice! Is that a 45 with AR? Friend of mine got one of these today, bracelet doesn't sit great at the solid end at all. And what's with the wind on these. One pull changes the date, and the 2nd click moves the hands, Where and how do they wind at all? It's not a 'U'PO just a PO.

Thank you for doing that! Much appreciated..

Hi, can you explain what it's about when people talk about solid end pieces on the bracelet, are there different versions? ans what is SEL? Oh, and how is the lume on these Euromariners?

I think it probably looks better without, but it's the vintage look. Not convinced on the engraving issue though. I don't think I'd like it....

Right, I only looked at the black, and who would want it in yellow gold right

Yuh, I'm confused about that too, because the current Subs don't have the 'ROLEXROLEXROLEX' on the rehaut, so when did they have? And pluses and minuses of the lugholes? Obviously without looks better??

I read so much conflict on here about to wind or not to wind. What's the score there? Even when out of the box, you shouldn't wind it? When you buy gens Omega etc they tell you to wind it don't they, at least initially? Some even 40 to 60 times before you wear it? Do they all vary?

Thanks guys.... looks like the one to go for huh...

Does nobody have any answer to this, regarding the pearl on the bezel?

Please excuse a newbie question..... I know on the Omegas alot of the reps have those awful raised pearls on the bezel and the gens have sunken ones. Just because on this pic the Noob's pearl looks more genuine than the Euro. I could be completely wrong but what is the general consenus of opinion on it? Is the Rolex not sunken like the Noob one and closer to the Euro model. They both look pretty nice. What cost difference?

That's for sure, thanks a lot, fine old place you got here!

Yuh, that's what I meant... I didn't think that 'bit' was plastic..

Yeh, I would stick with all black and white. Robbie's gen in lume shot is a beaut. Always shows up great in pics that watch, When you see it in the flesh, not taking anything away from it, but it never looks as good as it does in shots. The pearl on the 42s are always a bit lousy on the reps.

Thanks for the explanation. I always thought the Rolex bezel was some sort of metal, never knew they used plastic!! Cheapskates. Blue huh....... dunno about that. I'm presuming the all black sub, strap, bezel, dial etc on one of the dealer sites here is just a pipe dream and not a rep of a model?
