Huuu ? It's Tribal's Tudor Bruce But I wish I could post all day long, specially photos of genuine Tudor

Hmm, wonderfull to see some photos of gen for reference indeed. That said: Do I feel a hype here ? I want a Tudor too now Congrats Tribal and many thanks for sharing. @Jet & all: not bad either

Enjoy your watch Stephen. If you look too close to details you may start to hate it ! Wear it well, Cheers Stephane

NOT AT ALL

Of course not....but it's fun. Let's dream and after all, why not. Maybe this will help to have it in production? Who knows? Oh well! MEGA BUMP

Exactly

Wow, they are damn good looking for such a reasonable price. Make sense to collect them in my opinion. Cheers Stephane

After a day with the uPO... Going to bed with this one

:wub::wub:

Hmmm, my Froglish is obviouly very bad today. I was only tyring to say: rep and mods is a hobby, nothing more, and yes, it is great fun. I wouldn't choose another hobby. There is no chance that any Rolex rep will ever be the "Best XXX" though. Look at a Vietnamese case, frankened with a gen mvt and whatever other genuine parts...it's still a rep. But, I love the idea to build a 1 or 3K watch that I will never get in real life anyway. That said, and some of you guys know that, I really would appreciate that no members put several hundreds of dollars in several Subs to discover it is a hobby... What we're doing here has nothing to do with trying to fool a collector with the best sub...just enjoying wearing a splendid watch at a fraction of it's cost. Cheers Stephane

Great read...for a fresh 3135 owner. Thanks

[censored], I was about to send you my super special perfect ultimate 16610

I'm here to learn since day one and would like to take this opportunity to continue to learn. I have bought several Subs (like most of us) but didn't keep them (some of us did). Just look at My Collection in my signature (and not all of them are there). Hundreds of $ p*ssed away for sh*t watches. I'm sorry to say but NONE were close to the real deal in real life. NONE. At least not OutTheBox and not even when modified. The Noob is not, the MBK is not. So, I always thought that the MBK (formerly called MBW) with a NoobMariner Dial, Gen Insert, Gen Crown, Gen Tube, NoobMariner Date Wheel, NoobMariner Bracelet was the best possible Sub available after modifications. This means: - Buy an MBW/K 350$ - Buy a Noob 100$ - Buy genuine parts 100$ - Pay your favourite modder (impossible to put a price here as it could be 100 to whatever if you're scammed). If you add all the "less sexy subs" that one bought thinking it's ultimate, perfect, whatever...you're close to 50% of a genuine. That is at least my experience. I know, I might not be the smartest guy here but for sure not the only one to be stupid enough to go all the way to the "best sub". You say: the F520117 is available from almost everybody and they all come from the same factory. Well, there is a hope then: get the best sub one of these days. All this post for some questions to you, and every other Rolex freak: Do you think we will ever get the best sub? Do you think all that trend about NoobMariners and MBKs is b*llsh*t? I would love to hear from long term members about this: is the best sub available ? I think it is not, and will never be. Cheers Stephane

Wow, that should be engraved between the lugs Not enough space though.

Wow, I'm so happy that you did something nice with this one. Congrats Kelster !!! Cheers Stephane EDIT and these lugholes

Good idea to start it ! I woke up with this uPO (K2222 AR + Gen Crown and Tube now, sorry not on the picture yet)

Guys, dear new comers, The NoobMariner is only available from TTK and Narika. All other variations (Newbie, Vip, Begin,...) are not the same watch. Cheers Stephane

Well with such a beautifull photo, I bet numerous members are going to go for a Sub again now !

Forgot to mention. We have some very special sightseing here ...

COULD EVERYBODY LISTEN TO BT THIS TIME PLEASE... The Super Sea Dweller is cool but nowhere close to the level of the Sub Noobmariner Out The Box.

Oh yes, you'll love it Pug.

Thanks to all guys. K2222 is right: it's such fun to see the watch getting more and more "authentic". At this stage, it's almost not necessary to look at the original one anymore: great saving

No matter if we must wait for another year...We'll wait BUMP

Would be a very difficult situation ! My 16600
