Thanx Edwin ! I needed that response... Do u know if a watchmaterial insert will fit a noobmariner ? (tried to search for an answer in the past for this but no luck...Seems like nobody had been eager to modify a noobmariner..)

Really interesting watch! But hey... cant we tell Narikaa to ... bring some more? I dont think the facotries will have the same limited-edition policy of the original pro-hunter?

which bezel insert is the best then ? ? ? ? I am confused!! only the watchmaterial dot com ?? What about the watch tool co uk ?

exactly.... People will discover that the Deep Sea will be the first RLX after several models in the pipeline that will have a domed crystal!!!! It will look amazing... The rep of the Deep Sea that already appeared is ugly ...but we should notice one thing... : If this rep actually exists , we are talking about a rep of a watch that is only announced and not being sold yet, meaning that the ''factories'' are very eager to construct this watch as soon as possible and they are aware of the future commercial success of it. ..That is very positive..

I totally agree with u.. It was funny that the time of the announcement of the new Sea Dweller people here critisized it as a super ...ugly watch that will never buy it.. I am sure it will be a great success not only among buyers of the gen but also among us.. The SSD and the following GMT II Ceramic show (or at least i want to believe) that the faxctories are seriously involved now to deliver high quality RLX reps... I hopw we will see the same with the Deep Sea... As a diver.. i hope it will be a realiable watch to dive to modest depths as well (3 or 4 atm)

Hmmmm with all this buzz about FAKE ETA movements i am wondering if an Asian Movement is finally better than a cloned ETA movement... Is there any difference? Because if there is no difference or so... what's the reason to prefer a... Swiss Sub to an Asian one?

Many many thanx for the help !! You were really specific.. Thanx a lot! Well... silly question no2 : I guess i have to open the case back of the SSD (or any other watch) to lube the gasket, right? i bet sound stupid but i want to do it well..

Hello all! I have decided that my next rep will be again a rlx rep but this time i want to do it better. I am planning to buy a SSD and (apart from doing some mods) try to lube and use new rubber gaskets to assure its waterproofness. So has anyone tried it? What gaskets do i need for SSD ? How many different types? What sizes? (please if u know ..be specific coz i will buy them..) What about the lubricant? Which one should buy? Where should i apply it on the watch ? Is it better to use silicone? Well maybe to the.. ''connaisseurs'' my questions sound silly ... (e.g. oil or silicone) but the issue here is how can i assure as much possible the waterproofness of the watch.. Thanx !

No just waterproof but it seems that SSD can manage it to the deep... There is a member here who dived with the SSD and everything went fine.. I am planning to do the same in august:P

amazing thread! I think the issue reflects the... ''progress'' of our hobby. After the tremndous replicates of HBB and(?) GMT II ceramic, we all seem to seek better quality in our buys, quality inside and outside our reps. It would be interesting if someone or some of us, made a sticky thread like this... ''ORIGINAL SWISS ETA MOVEMENT'' with pictures so as anyone who buys a Swiss SSD for example can open it and compare what he had really payed for. I think this would make dealers more responsible ... and buyers more aware....What do u think? Eurotimez assertion looks promising and i am seriously thinking of buying a rlx rep from him... but i have a question for him...Has he ever experienced to open an SSD to make his usual QC b4 sending it to a client and realized that there was not a Swiss ETA inside?

wonderful but.... where can we buy this one? U just mention an .. ''off board dealer''... Any...''on-board's'' ?

Wear it well gianton.... under the greek sun, (me ena frape sto heri...)

http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...8494&hl=SSD well?? The guy is a rep forum hero:)

Thanx for the replies! Are there any experiences of diving with reps? Come on, proud SSD owners.... none of you have tried it to more than 5-10 meters diving ??

Summer has come... so imagine an embarrassing scene like this..: Saturday evening you get lots of good comments on your pam submersible, or sub , or sea-dweller... The next morning ,you go diving with the same company... And b4 you dive.. you take your watch off and hand it to someone else who is not diving ... I have read in repgeek a post of a member (he is on rwg too i think) who went diving with his SSD and the watch managed it impressively well... Has someone tested other reps that proved reliable companions to diving? Please share your experiences... I own a ultimate DSN PAM11h , DSN claims that this is tested to 3 atm... What deplth is it? Should i try it to dive with?

Well, now it seems that the thread is getting a more interesting direction imho .... The ceramic bezel is the first issue!!! A scratch test? well... i dont think it is necassary.. Can the dealers assure us that it is coted with real ceramic? Does it have the mirror effect as the real ceramic bezels?

It would be really interesting to ask an owner of this rep to check something on this rep that it seems to be ignored by the comments of this thread , and that is the '' ceramic effect'' . ''How real ceramic'' the bezel looks ? Ok, everyone will comment on the date alignment, the crown guards, etc etc....but hey, this is the first attempt to rep a ceramic rlx!!! A very good case but with a cheap imitation of the ceramic bezel would look ridiculous ... so why don't we start from this? The crown comments can wait:P After all .... i think this should be a major test for the capability of the factories to rep ceramic rolxs as new rlx reps will eventually come in the future : the ceramic sub, deep sea, and so on...

I have purchased his Ultimate PAM 111h. i really dont want to mess with gen parts on PAMs and i was really pleased by the quality of this product. In fact, i am one of the lucky ones woh have a 111h with Swiss Swan Neck movement. But, there is one flaw that cannot stand and this is the size/vertical allignment of the L Swiss Made L as well as the proximity to 6. Since i am looking for a second PAM i would like from your experience to ask which PAM source should i contact to get a very good out - of - the - box rep. I dont want to mess with mods... I just want accuracy, super lume, accurate AR and this is a question for most new/not-that-new members here who are willing to pay for a good rep that arrives str8 to their mailbox without having to send it somewhere else again b4 the are able to wear it...

Interesting remark!!!! So let's think.. Are some rolex (called as super,perfect, 1:1) so bad because they have numerous flaws or maybe it s also out over attention to them that names them inaccurete comparing to other reps. Well, ok..rlx reps are not like the hbb...(why they arent?? that another question...irrelevant to the topic i guess....- but whyyyy?? )

Lol... you are right... I bet hyowever that the philosofy of this topic express many of us if not all of us... Think of how many times have u been inspired by a clip or a pic to starting to want a watch badly.....

the watch seems excellent... Engraved rehaud, engraved bezel, cheap price and the fact that u are dealing with narikaa is making the whole thing really interesting... except onew thing :S ..... The watch is wrong! Engraved rehaud and bezel means that this is a rep of the new GMT's.... but the case of these new GMT's is supposed to be different.. Check out a pic of a gen and u will see.. it looks larger on top and botton where the bracelet is linked with the case.... WTH?? It is ROLEX GMT MASTER!!! And it exists (the new version) since one year... Haven't they been able to make a new case?? :wacko:

That looks really good !!! ... Same price as nymphomariner reg? I bet it is also from the same source, no?

Hello again ! i would like to ask if anyone has removed and changed the bezel on a noobmariner.... Is it possible to change/modify any of the bezel parts? e.g. placing an bezel ring with a better pearl . .. (if yes.... whats the easiest way to do it? I ve seen a pictorial on easy bezel removing..using just a screwdriver and some tape...)

Remarks-questions: 1.Hmmm that NOOB watch ... seems to haunt every new sub around.. How about putting a noob bracelet as well? The finish of the noob bracelet is perfect... 2.What watch material you use to open the watch and insert the noob dial ? 4. Did u trim the CG? If yes, how did oyu do it? Did it take much time? 3. Where on earth can I find a crown that fits MBW and/or Noob Sub AND has the RLX Symbol on it ??
