Both watches look good from ten feet away. The most important thing is - are you happy with them? If yes, then they are good buys.
I am a newbie myself and have bought my share of "beginner" reps, including the one you showed in the photo.
These beginner reps are certainly cheaper, but looking back I wished I had saved the money and spend on a Noob V6/V7.
The differences are great between this and that (once you learned to recognize them).

No offense meant mr. Italiansub, but your sharp eagle eyes remind me of a few women I know. Lol. Watch is about the only accessory I check out on any man.

My first experience with reps was during a business trip to China. I went to the infamous "copy market" in Shanghai and bought a few reps for gag gift because the quality of those were terrible. Skip ahead fifteen years and I rediscovered replica watches. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of many top notch super reps that I honestly could not readily distinguish from my genuine. Oh, there are "tells", I am sure, but they are only visible to the well trained eyes. For the past few weeks, I have been browsing RWI and this forum, reading and more reading. I already bought a couple reps from M2M at RWI and will do the same here. For my next rep, I am eyeing a pre-owned TC or BK sub. Eventually, I want to get into modding my own rep. RW is definitely becoming a hobby.

I agree with @Italiansub. Buy your lifestyle and most people will not call you out.
TC is a TD who makes nice older model Rolex subs. If you still want a TC Sub, search for a pre-own on the M2M here and at RWI. I wouldn't order direct as TC has a looong wait-list of buyers, and it will be 2-3 months before you receive your order.
No Date Sub from PureTime. (Comparison to 16610 from iOffer)

"Disillusion"... A great description for what happens a week after getting my cheapies. I spent >$500 on cheapies of Rolex, Omega, and Panerai. Learned my lesson though. You really do get what you paid for.
