What comes to mind are the Daytona on a pink or blue strap.

Also, many of the mid-size Rolex look good on a woman, with the proper strap.

A stainless Yachtmaster with colored strap is awesome

Hope you find one!

This may be "old hat" to most, but for some technical info, it is great.

The printable .pdf files are very detailed and clear.

I agree w/longshot

Either the hairspring has become magnetized or possibly two coils stuck together.

A demag at a local watchmaker will do the trick.

I have three rep's, ETA and they have all been regulated at +/- 4 seconds a day.

Hope you get her fixed soon!

I am needing a crown and case tube for a nice rep copy of the 16610 Submariner.

Mine is a little rough inside the crown and continually tears or frays the "O"ring at the base of the case tube.

A source for these two items would be appreciated

Can anyone supply me with the newer style case tube and new crown for an all stainless SeaDweller (Replica).

Mine is not stripped, but the tube gasket is "chewed up" by a not so polished crown.

Thanks!

I am looking for a new source for "factory sealed" 2836-2 movements.

Frei Borel has some, but not what I am looking for.

Any help would be appreciated

As DRIZZNAY stated, you have variables to consider.

My opinion is that IF you have a sapphire crystal, triploc crown and a Swiss ETA movement, you can expect many years of service IF you look after your investment.

By that I mean to keep crown screwed down tight, check "O"ring on case tube, check case back for tightness AND have it looked at by a watchmaker in around 4-5 years. Oiling is a quick job on most "simple complication" watches and needs to be done. All seals should be replaced at the time of oiling.

let us know what you have coming, but in any event, ENJOY it

Hey TXJB how do you like your sub? Have you had any problems?

This may be really stupid question but, How do I remove the links to get a proper fit? Do I go to a jeweler?

I really like the Sub. It is a very good replica and have had no problem at all.

As for the bracelet sizing, all you need is a set of jewelers screwdrivers (Lowes, Home Depot, Radio Shack) for about $6.00.

Simply remove the screw in the side of the bracelet, remove a link and reattach. If it is close to fitting "as is", you can take a toothpick and make small adjustments on the flip-lock clasp by pushing the springbar in on each side.

I have a large wrist and have always had to add a link over what comes from the factory, even on the real Rolex.

Suggest you put a tiny drop of locktite or similar on the screw to keep it from backing out!

Enjoy your Sub.

I ordered a Sub on April 10th from PT.

It arrived here in Texas 5 days later!

I think everyone gets his products in 4-6 days.

Congrats on the LV Sub.

My friend has a replica sub and I know he has been to 30ft deep diving with no problems at all.

Keep a close eye on the "O" ring on the case tube. If it starts deteriorating, have it replaced. Done by any watchmaker for very little cost.

A little silicone lubricant on the "O"ring will ensure a good seal and long life!

Welcome to the forum. Can I ask you a question? Do you like LONESTAR BEER? Honesty is okay.

Ha Ha Ha

Actually, yes, but only if it is very, very cold.

I prefer Bud Light

Hello to everyone.

I have purchased a replica, 16610 Sub, from PT and am amazed at the quality. Accuracy is honestly as good as the genuine SeaDweller on my wrist.

As an amatuer watchmaker, it is clear that servicing the replicas with ETA movements will be quite easy. I think every part is available here in the US from numerous sources.

I want to buy a "vintage" Sub replica, but read that the best are about $350. Is that true? Is it because of the case, or is it in the movement that causes such a price jump?

Anyway, I love this site and will be a regular here

I ordered a S/S 16610 Sub from PT on 5/10/06.

It arrived to Texas on the 15th ........... that is quick!

The watch is really nice, all markings correct. The etching was as good as I've seen on any rep.

As for accuracy, it is running at +3sec a day for now.

Super smooth transaction, good communication.

Recommended dealer in my opinion.

Ordering another rep today
