The one I got from Andrew is threaded, I did try putting some lock tight on the tube but the tube was too tight in the crown. The tube on the case side would undo before the crown (if that makes sense). Unbelievable that another human could stoop so low isn't it?! I think you've hit the nail on the head with that one, he probably started out with good intentions but got side tracked and it's gone beyond the point of no return now. I'm sorry to hear you got royally ripped off, let's hope Karma evens it out somehow. I couldn't agree more!! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

It more the time wasted that has annoyed me. I've been waiting for this tube for a couple of weeks, in that time I could have had one delivered from the US and had the watch repaired. Anyone have a spare crown tube? [emoji57] Sorry to hear about getting scammed Edwin! I hope he/she gets what's coming to them. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

I've done a transaction via m2m on RWI and the guy is really messing me about. Now, it's not about the money as what I sent him was negligible but it's about the principal of being let down! I just want to see if I'm justifiably annoyed. I posted an "urgently wanted" advert for a crown tube for a submariner. I'd bought a pro hunter from Andrew for my sister to give as a gift to my brother in law. We received the watch but the tube came put with the crown when unscrewed, anyway long story short Andrew has been messing me about getting a replacement tube to me so I thought I'd try here. Somebody got in touch saying they have one I can have if I throw them postage costs, I sent £3 via paypal gift. He told me he'd post it the following day, he didn't (fair enough) a couple of days after I dropped him an email asking if he managed to get it in the post and he replied yes. A week later and nothing! Contacted him again and he said his wife posted it out and he'll ask her by what method and let me know. 2 days later and still no reply. I contacted him again and his reply was "my wife said expect it on Saturday" No mention of when or how it was sent. Anyway, Saturdays been and gone and still no sign and he's stopped replying to my messages. Again, I'll reiterate, it's NOT about the money I just feel like he's completely taking the P out of me, I could have bought one from china by now and had it delivered but because I was in desperate need to repair the watch (as my sisters getting impatient with me) I thought trying to source one in the UK would be better. Am I in the wrong being annoyed? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

I just had a go on some spare links, I read that 400grit sandpaper works well. It didn't for me. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

I've got polished mid links on my sub, could I brush them? Or would they be plated? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

Can anybody point out then the really obvious tells in this watch? Again bracelet aside. Thanks for the replies guys. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

Aside from the polished mid links I honestly thought it looked quite reasonable for the money. I was considering getting the $75 Sub-C from Silix which was rated as good for the money over on rwg.bz and this one looks better. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

Yep they are polished. Was it worth €70 delivered? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

Just purchased this Sub-C over at RWI and was wondering what the general thoughts were on it, can anyone identify the maker? It's only a cheapy. http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/maticstalekar/media/photo4_zps4f55c790.jpg.html Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

I had to come up with a reason to my wife why I was staring at the picture for so long and they I had to follow through with my excuse It looks like you have a very nice house jmicro Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic Ps, those tiles in the third picture are also very nice Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

What colour stain did you use on your doors and architrave in the second picture?

If I'm honest I've been stalking you for quite some time now, look out the window and wave [emoji12]

What do you think of the QC pictures of my latest purchase?

Have you got any pictures of your Sub in front of your F16? Forgot to add, that looks AMAZING!

I wish I had've done! My next Mod is going to involve me putting it in a drawer and buying a new one.

Yeah ok, but I'll need some money off you to sweeten the deal You have an awesome looking sub there Mart , that crown looks especially awesome

Oyster Perpetual Date?

Hello, I purchased a crappy 21j Sub from iOffer a couple of months ago that has an unlimited amount of flaws which I thought I'd have a go at rectifying one by one. I came across a snag though in the process, this is what I started out with. If you look at the lugs, it has a brushed effect that goes diagonally. I decided to sand those out starting with 400 grit and working up to 1200. It resulted in removing all the plating and exposing what looks like Brass/Copper underneath! Next I thought I'd have a bash at the crown guards as they were cutting into the crown: I think they've turned out better than they were but overall the watch is still [censored]!

what was the question again? I got sidetracked when I scrolled down.......

I've got this one in my watch list too: http://bit.ly/1AKGaLx Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

I've added it to my watch list. Thanks Mart. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

Cheers Martin, I'll steer clear.

Hi all, I'm looking at buying this bezel insert, It looks good but I'm not sure if it's gen. Could I get some help from the experts here please. Thanks Dave
