Wearing this Fishy thing now.

Not my expertise, either... so I can't name anything specific.

But the dial looks sloppy to me (overall). Dial Coronet is non-symmetrical.

PS: Added a direct link to the auction. You can shorten the long Ebay links with Tinyurl.com.

Or buy one with SELs, superlume and lugholes.

My 2003 K-series GMT is exactly like that. Best of both worlds. They produced Sub with this same combo as well.

I love Sub and I love gens... and I fully understand the "little things" that make the gen stand out from reps. But WM9 v2 (with v1 SELs) is so good that I simply can't justify the gen.

But then again Sub is not my "grail watch". Just a legendary model that I like very much.

But if you really, really love the Sub I say go for it. Any working adult can afford to invest a few K's to something that they're passionate about. It's not like you're buying a house or anything, just a steel sports Rolex.

What the guys said. Skyland, SO Heritage, Seawolf.

Black Fish is very good too, but there are too many factors that can ruin it (dw, SELs, lume, etc.)

There are too many great TAG reps to even mention. Black Aquaracer chrono on rubber is probably the best of them all.

From that kind of pictures it's impossible to tell for sure. I wonder why they're small and crappy quality. Never a good sign.

But from what can I tell with my limited knowledge in vintage models, it looks good. Clasp, case, bezel, etc. all ok.

But I'm sure our vintage experts can tell more.

I don't follow club football that much but I heard Leo Messi spanked Arsenal pretty badly: 4 goals!

Guys, before you bid on that Breitling Superocean dial that Praetor linked (I know some of you will) and think you can install it to your rep, be aware that it's for the 42mm older version. Won't work.

Nice story. Although I was waiting for the "punchline" that never came.

madonna cant screw?

Well she can't sing, dance or act, either.

That doesn't stop millions of sheep minded dumbasses from worshipping her though.

Of course, as soon as I finished typing that, BT goes and puts up an absolutely stunning photo of the Black Dial Explorer II! Dammit!

Hmmm....decisions desicions. Of course, the Noob Explorer is going to be a rare beast soon, isn't it?

Yes, but the current ones have the ugly rehaut engraving anyway. Try to source the older version.

This was a great rep and it never got the attention it deserved.

The only GMT rep that is even remotely accurate is the BK Transformer.

But I would choose the Noob black Explorer II. Maybe it's not the most popular among the members but it's still hands down the most accurate "second timezone" Rolex model out there.

Funny, two years ago I wouldn't have even considered SA because the size sounded so ridiculous. Now I "kinda" like them.

Not ready to purchase yet, but never say never. These frankens with gen dials are amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't know guys... I find the "different" color models quite attractive. The red one is cool but I love this "copper" dial. I have no idea how accurate it is though (it's probably way off again).

Those SELs are weird though.

I have reviewed the MBK TT Sub here.

Maybe the pics help.

Typical. The initial batch always comes with the better datefont.

Then at some point they'll switch back to standard Asian font. It has happened many times before.

You gotta understand that these dealers don't all have their own factories. They source the same watches from the same factories. This is a "Noobfactory" version which can be sourced by many dealers. It's not like they're exclusive to Eurotimez or anything.

I don't know whether Andrew and Joshua can get this one or not, but you gotta compare the pictures and ask questions, etc. I'm sure that bklm1234 was able to get this before. Ask him too.

Good luck!

What do you think of that model?

I thought I wrote a long review of it and shared my thoughts.

I do like it. It's the best TT Sub out there (besides the WM9 of course). Very nice... just make sure you get the wrapped version with filled end links.

1. As far as I know, TW best and MBW may be next best TT sub, but who sells those? I can't find reputable dealers here sell those.

Wrong.

This one is.

BK can get this too. At least he did.

I'm with you Hike. v2 Skyland "Tungsten Gray" for me today.

These three review sections have probably all your favorite watch models (reps) reviewed and more:

Happy reading!

for me still one of the best Omega reps.

Seconded. The Speedmaster date comes close second, but the old school SMP chrono takes the cake.

That looks incredible Ubi. I'm not a vintage expert... but if I didn't know about your building abilities I'd say it's gen without hesitation.

Is there a work in process thread somewhere... I think I have missed it?

Quite difficult to give advice to anyone, but Skyland v2 grey is amazing (providing you get one with good lume dots).

I have traded almost all my reps eventually but this one is a permanent keeper.

Actually the hand stack is correct on the rep. My 16710 has different hand stack... 24h hand is above the hour hand. But on the 1675 and 16750 it's the other way around. Reps are accurate... hand stack is not an issue on 1675 reps.

Everything else is wrong on the MBW version though.
