Welcome back! The bezel insert on all the models are elephant dung. I'd steer clear unless you can source a gen bezel, then again I'm OCD. If you can live with the incorrect bezel insert go for the Noob CHS!

I'm with ya bro! I am NOT watching the Super Bowl even though I'm a football fan. Not a fan of kneeling during national anthem.

I would like to purchased the highest version of a rep rolex submariner.
Who can I talk to do make this purchase?
Welcome aboard! Depends on price range but you're in the right place! TC V7 is the highest level for a classic sub.

Lol! Depends on what kind of sub you're looking for? Vintage, Classic, or Modern? As you can see from the sarcasm this is the most asked noob and replica question!

Very nice! Enjoy to the max!

Great post C! Thanks for sharing! I'd agree I wore a "subpar" low grade Omega SMP 300 for five years as my daily beater with zero issues. Even swimming and diving in Cancun. Sold it last year M2M and they're still enjoying it!

Hmmm maybe I should go work for Rolex QC. I could clearly see the difference in the steel sheen. Great post@Legend!

What is amazing to me is how close they are in appearance and the huge price difference for what you get.
If they are this close and the owner does not plan on wearing it in water...what is the real world advantage of owning the genuine article? Downsides to the replica: movement may not be reliable if it is an etaclone or genuine 'dirty swiss eta' (no experience with the various 3135 clones) - may have any of the other common replica ailments (we all know what they are). The genuine watch has notable downsides imho: expensive! - very high service and parts prices! - big lo$$ if dropped on concrete, lost, or stolen - you need to be careful when wearing it because it cost so much - you feel like you should wear it even after you get tired of it because it cost so much - everyone thinks it is a replica anyway.
Discounting the pride of ownership that comes with the genuine watch...I see the replica as a winner and the genuine as a $$ loser if simply taken as two watches that look almost exactly alike (this being a replica forum after all). If they both were $500 I would take the genuine watch of course.
The beauty is they can be worn in water!

Nice work! Gen is on the left. I can tell by the steel color.

Let's go green together!
I tread softly along the fine line separating raving insanity and lucid moments of ingenuity. The issue is I've no idea which is which mostly.
Stunning piece!What do you have there Legend?
