Even if the seller had all the original paperwork, box, receipts etc, how can I verify that the watch they passing to me is the gen, that relates to all the paperwork?

In other words where on the watch is the serial no. engraved, is it where the bracelet joins the case and does each Gen have its own unique serial number.

thanks

You can find 14060M's for around $2500-$3000.

Dates for around $3000-$3500.

5513 around $3500-$4000.

1680's around $4500-$5000.

Tudor Subs are a bit different.

7928: $2000-$2500

7016: $2000

7021: $2500-$3000

9401: $2000-$2500

9411: $2200-$3000

76100: $1500-$2000

79090: $1500-$2000

79190: $1200-$2000

These are more rough estimates.

If you look that is.

Hi,

Currently what is the lowest price in USD for a used Gen Submariner in good condition irrespective of the age?

Thanks

thanks for clarifying that, that must be 'bargain' of the year

out of curiosity how much could you have sold your original Rolex DJ for?

and how much are your Black Sub and TT Sub valued if you had to buy or sell them?

Your black sub is modern as it has no lug holes right?

Cheers

Here's some quick shots of the black one with papers - note crown guards, crown position, dial indices position, dial and bezel fonts, correct "typewriter" font on warranty papers - and the paper has the correct glossy bit and the unfakeable staple holes

Can you clarify:

you swapped one Rolex watch for two Rolex watches.

I assume your original watch was entirely Gen, how much did you pay for it originally?

Or was your original watch a 'Franken, ie made up of gen parts?

Good trade for you!

Why is it buyer beware?

It's a fun story, but a bit risky telling all on a public forum incase Mr. Jeweller cases watch forums. Won't he feel a little cheated? Or is it buyer beware!

did you get your watch or did customs confiscate it?

LOL now that would be a cool watch maybe i would go with the laser instead though.

I will let you know how i get on, should know within the next few days

where can I get this plastic ball from and how much?

Please describe how exactly it is used, not 100% clear how the plastic ball is used.

thanks

Actually , I think the plastic open ball is my best choice .

No matter what size , no matter which model , I can open most every replica as well .

And the most important reason is , it's very cheap !

Because it's just the toy for the kids !

Very useful !!

Hi,

Can someone point me in the direction of posts showing how to remove case backs from Rolex, Omega watches WITHOUT using specialist tools?

If this has not been posted before, please can someone describe how to remove Rolex, Omega case backs using common household DIY tools.

Thanks for your input

P_Diddy

impressive job

Being new to this hobby and don't want to buy any expensive tools at this early stage of experimentation.

How can I remove the case back on a Rolex, Omega Planet Ocean using normal household DIY tools.

Thanks for any comments/instructions

P_Diddy

Still waiting on any comments about upgrading this watch to a better movement. Anyone have any good franken mod suggestions for this project?

Thanks!

I read on one of the rep forums that George aka Watchmaker9 does not make/modify watches but is solely a dealer.

If this is the case, why is this factory dealing only exclusively with ONE dealer?

Can someone confirm the veracity of my assumption please.

Thanks for all 'sensible' comments....

P_Diddy

Only one factory makes the WM9..........hint....hint! Watch..........................maker............................9!

Can someone let me know where I can get the 'original' Noobmariner from?

thanks

What was pictured on the site should have been close...really close to the Legendary TTK sub. .......

Does anyone know which factory makes the WM9 rep and why its only available through a selected dealer i.e. Watchmaker9 ?

Has production of WM9 v1 stopped?

On side note whilst acknowledging the VERY high quality of reps from Watchmaker9, his prices are equally very HIGH as well.

Thanks for your comments/views

The WM9 v1 is only going to be available from another member as WM9 has now produced the v2. Check with BK to see if they are still available through him, or try WM's website ... watchmaker9.tv.

Does using a watch winder prolong the life of an automatic watch movement, i.e. by not needing to re-start the mechanics each time it runs out of power.

a similar analogy would be driving your car continuosly on the motorway for a long journey is better than multiple start and stop short trips in the city.

comments?

Hi Francisco,

great review especially with detail and meticulous care taken.

I am thinking about getting a Vintage daytona rep, does this use the same problematic movement as the modern daytona rep?

If the vintage daytona rep uses a different movement, then does that movement have a long life ?

Thanks

Hi Stephane,

I am new to this and have not developed the 'eye' for spotting difference.

Please can you point out the 'differences' in the photos below, they look similar to me at first glance.

Thanks

P_Diddy

Have a closer look:

350$

458$

149$

40$

The best one available right now is this one (same as my 350$):

Hi,

I read ByTor's review of Submariner WM9 v1 and liked it alot.

The WM9 is more available than before, so who offers it at the 'best' price currently?

Thanks

P_Diddy

I have read the original review of Noobmariner by ByTor and would like to know the following:

1) Do all Noobmariners come from the same factory and does the quality of Noobmariner vary from dealer to dealer ?

2) Which dealer currently sells the 'best' looking Noobmariner?

3) Does the Noobmariner use an ETA or Asian clone of ETA or something entirely different?

Thanks for your patience and for being so demanding.

P_Diddy

Like alligoat said, either a rep-friendly watchmaker or get yourself some tools. Gioarmani has done a tutorial on how to do some basic adjusting (without a timing machine) and it is here:

http://www.rwg.cc/members/Adjust-Rep-s-Tim...amp;hl=regulate

The Noobmariner (Beginmariner, Nymphomariner) are great bang for the buck and a good piece to start your collection. Wear it and give the watch a couple of days before you judge the aberration of the movement.

On a related issue to Dealers:

Are TTK and EuroTimez the same dealers or persons?

If not where is TTK's website?

Who is EuroTimez known as?

thanks for being patient

P_Diddy

Which dealers have got the WM9, preferably in EU and accept Credit Card.

Thanks

If you're going to pay that much for a sub you might as well get the WM9. This website probably supplies the Noobmariner but for a higher price 'cuz he buys them off chinese websites for around the same price we buy noobs for and then sells them for higher 'cuz he lives in the UK.

Is TTK the only dealer selling the 'original' Noobmariner?

or is the Noobmariner available from other dealers?

Thanks

Let me see, listed as a scam, high prices. Why even ask when there are so many great dealers here?

But if you must know I happen to have a pic of their shop front.

Col.

Hi,

The watchreplica.co.uk website is listed as a scammer on list six on another thread in this forum.

Has anyone had any dealings with this UK dealer and are they scammers?

On side note, their prices for Submariners are HIGH,

Eurotimez will get it for you too

Can someone confirm that the "Rolex Submariner 16610 Black SS aka Noobmariner DG" selling for $110 from EuroTimez website is the "Noobmariner" referred to in this review?

What is QC like with EuroTimez?

who is Neil and what is his website?

Thanks and apologies if I asked something again.

Can someone give an update on this please?

Krayfish/Bibbs - have you been able to help some other UK members on this forum, who may need their reps serviced but not able to send outside of UK for Customs reasons.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum having had my appetite whetted by an impulse buy of Omega 42mm Ocean Planet.

I already own several gen watches and with impending service/battery changes due, I am curious to learn more about the following:

1) Any recommended friendly watch repair service, preferably near London who can service rep watches for a 'reasonable price'

2) My interest in rep has grown considerably since joining this forum and I want to learn more about servicing and repairing rep automatics, would appreciate any useful constructive comments from the board.

Look forward to exchanging thoughts with you....

Many Thanks
