  2. Recommendations for a sub

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    My second rep, bought from Andrew back in April was this one:

    http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=Rolsub096&x=34&y=11

    Always wanted the two tone blue dial sub and decided to go all in with the eta movement. I feel the watch is terrific and it has performed perfectly.

    I've come to prefer larger watches so it hasn't had much wrist time lately, but every time I put it on I marvel at it.

    As a newbie, don't hesitate to spend less on your first watch or two. You'll still be amazed at the quality.

  15. PAM 104 o-Series Noob Quality Control Photos

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    While I hear what you're saying, I'm still going to disagree.    If I purchase a watch based on the web site photos, I expect to get a piece that at least measures up to those.   I see no problem posting the QC photos to make sure we are getting what we pay for.   After all, we're talking about watches that can cost $300 or more and not some $25 sidewalk watch from Times Square.....  

     

    It may cause some additional headaches with the TD's but if they are careful in selecting the pieces they sell us, they shouldn't have much to worry about.   If they try to pass off junk, they should be challenged on it.   If nothing else, it would make them pay more attention to quality.

     

    1) because people in this hobby from some time know that the reps aren't 100% = gens, so the research should be done on the model in advance and the flaws asked at that point. While it happens that noobs go by instinct, and sometime they choose some not-that-good piece. Then, when they got the QC pics, they come here and get a lot of messages showing them all the misalignment between that piece and the gen. They get [censored] of and start hassling the TD for what have been their own bad choice since the beginning.
