This site sure is full of information. I`m impressed ...and a little overwhelmed. It looks like I might be best off doing some more research before I take the plunge. I`ve been in touch with Andrew who has suggested a modded version of his ROLSUB0016 with waterproofing and calibrations (by Watchsmith). What he calls the "perfect" Swiss ETA Submariner. Any thoughts?
Did you have a price in mind rbscott?
Thanks for the warm welcome. Good to see that there are other Norwegians in here and others from Sin City as well. Now my search for the "perfect" two tone blue faced sub rep can start:-)
llo fellow replica fans. As the title indicates I`m from Norway yet reside in Las Vegas, USA. I used to collect rep Rollie sport watches many years ago, but gave it up when I went back to school. Now I`m looking into it again and ended up here since I figured I should do some research before I start shopping.
Any suggestions for who to buy from? I`m looking for a TT Submariner in the $200-$300 range. I noticed that Andrew (trustytime) has a new TT with 14K Gold Wrapped on Solid Stainless Steel on both case material and bracelet as opposed to Solid 316L Stainless Steel with 18K Gold thick plated (5 mils) on both on a slightly less costly version ($248 vs $288) another difference is that the $248 TT has a black Uni-directional bezel vs blue on the $288 model. Would that simply be a reflection of a newer GEN Rolex vs an older model or is one more correct than the other?
Any and all input appreciated.
Thanks.
Terje the noob:-)
