The Mentalist

I was always under the impression that the rehaut was part of the casing and to remill it you will essentially have to make the face bigger. Please someone with a bit of knowledge chime in here as I'm curious myself. Gotta go get some food. Looking at that watch is making me hungry...

Dude, as a Chinaman myself it was all I could do to stop myself from throwing some shrimp, bamboo shoots and soy sauce into that Sub.

That is a very wok and roll Sub. It doesn't wok my boat, however. I would suggest it would be better suited to the wrist of a wok star. Or Wokky Balboa.

George, you're a gent, sir. I've acted upon your advice ;-)

I'm looking to buy a Sub from Jay at Silix but have noticed that his watches, Omegas and Rolex in particular, have that HORRIBLE stuck-on non recessed pearl. I already cancelled a PO order because of that POS pearl. I'm looking to buy his ROLS003. That aside, how does his Submariner compare to Andrew's in terms of features (engraved endlinks, bezels, reliability etc)? I haven't been able to find a side by side comparison on here. Any help would be much appreciated.

You did misread. 'Sans Serif' = 'Without Serif'.

Yep, read it again and spotted the date font thing. Mine is thankfully sans serifs which means I have got the Swiss ETA version. Phew!

Hello gentlemen, this is my first post here so please forgive me if this question has already been answered. I recently bought a UPO from Andrew. Great service, great communication and quick delivery. This is my first foray into the world of the super replica and I am amazed by the quality of the piece. My question is this: is there any way of knowing (without taking the back off) if the watch I have been sold is really the ETA UPO and not substituted for the cheaper UPO Lite? I noticed that my pearl was wonky and exhibited the common fault where the top part of the lume material is recessed and the lower half is protruding above the metal rim just like in Andreww's review of the UPO Lite. Andrew @ Trusty seems like a nice and helpful enough guy but there are doubts in the back of my mind especially as I don't think he waterproofed my watch when I paid for it. (The He valve is supposed to be deadlocked, right? Mine still screws...when I called him on it Andrew said it was sealed on the inside...go figure.) Thanks to one and all!
