Hi guys I love the look of this watch for my wife. Any idea if there's a rep coming for this any time soon? http://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust-36/m116244-0007.html

Hey All, Happy Thanksgiving! I am closing in on my next rep purchase..currently looking at a Rolex 1680 Red Sub from Trusty. Link Here: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=7091 I have analyzed it and was wondering, since 99.99 % of you have more knowledge than I do in this area, I was hoping you all could critic the flaws so I know what I am getting myself into...

Hello all, I understand this must be a variation on the classic " Best Sub" Question, however, I am trying to find a good, if not the best out there, Rolex Red Sub, Vintage 1680. Have any of you had any luck? Any suggestions or direction would be a huge help. Btw, I am noticing a big flaw on some are the silver/metallic date roll....weird...so I am trying to avoid that. Thanks all in advance!

Hello All, I bought the BP Sub a couple weeks ago. I am super happy with it, beautiful watch. Until recently, all good, all of a sudden however, the bracelet started squeaking pretty badly. Whenever I shake my wrist or move it, it squeaks. It is annoying but above all gives a pretty cheap impression. My questions are. 1. Is this normal? 2. Has anyone else experienced this? 3. How can I fix it? ......I tried applying baby oil on the link I believe was making the squeaking but I don't hear any improvement.

greetings, i always seem to get more help from this forum than the other. looking to get this for my mom (yes, she knows what it is). does anyone know how the date looks thru the magnifier? comparable to the gen? http://www.p-cls.com/rdjlf10004-pres...12-p-7913.html not into rolex's personally (especially datejust altho i have a gen datejust at wife's behest...) so i'm not familiar with any featuers but i guess, generally, how are the magnification of rep rolex's? i heard gens have magnification of 1.5x but i figure reps these days can easily replicate this feature. no? otherwise, you masters wouldn't be buying them. also, these look identical to me. figured the price is due to dealer difference. but is trusty's a better version? can anyone help? above or http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main...oducts_id=5643

Hey All, I just bought a BP Submariner and received it today! Awesome watch! great feel and look. Anyway, I notice it doesnt relly glow in the dark unless it is charged. I was under the impression that superluminova doesnt need any charging or prompting. Can anyone explain the difference between superluminova from other lume and what the lume is like on the gen?

I want to buy the best Submariner Ceramic Bezel, found out that the 116610(LN?) is the best one. I've been talking to PureTi.me and TrustyTime, i found these: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=10408 http://pureti.me/product/submariner-116610-ln-black-ceramic-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/ are those both 116610? Andrew states on his website it is 116600 but in description of the watch it says it replicates the 116610 Also, the video for Andrew shows a very dim lume, is that just cause the lume didn't have enough time to charge up or is that how i will see the watch? Anyone have any watches from TrustyTime or PureTime and pics? Please post I need more reference before buying.. PureTime says they dont have it in stock, but Andrew says he has it in stock and ready to ship. Also: TrustyTime has 116600A - 116600B - 116600C . I know he states that they are just changes in the movement from Asian to Swiss and higher prices but are there any differences to the watch itself? Which one should I buy? THANKS ALL AHEAD OF TIME!

greetings. been just lurking since i join recently. i'm looking for get a rep rolex for my mother and i was wondering which version/model is best? can anyone recommend one? what she considers important is the movement of the second hand that casual lookers consider as the barometer for real vs fake. personally, i'm not into rolexes so i don't know anything about such.... thanks in advance

Since I've only seen pictures of heavily used examples, I cant' tell. Was the 6538 bezel originally polished?

Hi everyone, A few months back I bought a used Rolex Explorer I from chiman12. The transaction went great, and the watch that arrived was absolutely gorgeous, and in perfect working condition. My thanks to chiman12 for sending me such a great watch at such a great price. Anyway, fast forward to last weekend. I was at a wedding, and must have bumped into something, because now the watch is making a funny noise, like a part has fallen loose, and is tumbling around inside (sounds like it is scraping against the caseback). The good think is, the watch itself is still keeping time perfectly, and the automatic movement still runs beautifully... I think something just became dislodged and is tumbling around on the inside. ANYWAY. Wondering if there is anyone (preferably a member) in LA/SFV that has even minor watch repair skills, just to open it up and see if they can re-attach whatever is klinking around. As I said, the movement still works perfectly, so I think this is simply a minor issue. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out [gen] case thickness of the Rolex 5512/13/14 for a project. I'm not sure how thickness is usually measured, but if someone knows the thickness of the caseback+case+bezel, that would be great.
-
I like the look of when vintage Rolexes with drilled lug holes have the spring bars poking through. But they're not ordinary springbars. We know they're thicker (2mm). But it also looks like their ends are rounded. Is that true? Where can I get similar spring bars, thick with the rounded edge? Are they available in other sizes and thicknesses? If anyone can shed light as to whether they do have special rounded ends, and if there's a source for similar ones, that'd be great.

Well, since last time I got my first Sea Dweller DEEPSEA CHALLENGE for my trial to unlock the door to watch hobby. I admit I’m indulged. So here comes my second purchase, also the Sea Dweller, but a standard DEEPSEA Sea Dweller of 44mm (my last one is 52 nearly and see the first review here). Firstly, a side by side pic of my two babies. Clear size difference, huh? Actually, except from the dimension, most the other parts are quite alike, like the material, technics of watch parts. But here I’m going to specify… The standard DEEPSEA Sea Dweller, applied a helium escape valve at left side of the watch, which somehow approximately being an ornament for my replica since I would never wear my replica to deep sea diving, moreover, I am not dive. Whatever, the standard DEEPSEA Sea Dweller shows a thinner case and sapphire crystal than my last DEEPSEA CHALLENGE. Sides of case as well as the bracelet are carefully polished, presenting a better craftsmanship. Sorry to display the blur lume pic, apologies for my poor photography. But somehow it obviously glows out beautiful blue color, whereas pretty much close to the lume of gens. Average Sea Dweller replicas are mostly like exude weak green light. Therefore, I am consent with this part. I have checked gen pic of DEEPSEA Sea Dweller online, and found some subtle differences between my DEEPSEA Sea Dweller and gens: 1. the top pearl (here I rotated it to 1 o’clock occasionally) appears slightly flat and thinner. 2. Three plateaus on crown of my replica seem wider and bigger. 3. Also the most important one spot that the movement of my replica is assembled with a supercloned Asian 3135 movement, but with much better polish than my last purchase, though not able to rival with gens, but actually keeping time at -9s per day, which is more accurate than my first DEEPSEA CHALLENGE as well. Simply from the outlook, like the solid stainless case, sapphire crystal and the almost identical dial, this watch is really hard to identify without a gen watch pic or entity for comparison or through any untrained eyes, like me. hehe… Thus, all my review about this watch is done from my own limited watch insight. Any points out and advice are welcomed.

Thought I would post some quick snaps of these two. The Datejust specs: (gen)ETA 2892A2. gen Rolex 16233 DateJust case set E serial (1991) gen Rolex 295c crystal + gasket gen Rolex DateJust silver sticks dial (markers are white gold) gen Rolex tudor hands gen Rolex engine turned bezel gen Rolex SS crown gen Rolex datewheel gen Rolex clasp Nearly everything visible to the naked eye is gen. Even the springbars are gen, though you can't see them. Weight is within 2 grams of a 3135-equipped DJ. The sub took like 6 months to get to my door. It got lost in the mail. Supercool member Coolchu001 waited patiently with me while everything got resolved. He also shot the first two pictures, which made me want the sub in the first place. TC 16610 LN Gen Insert TC 'Combi' bracelet V3 with V2 clasp Clark crystal Thanks for your time!

Hey guys and girls (Its been quite a while since my last post here); My brother was recently in Shanghai, and as usual the question "do you want something from here?" popped in... and my obvious answer was " Of course I do! A cheap rep".. And it was indeed cheap. I didn't want to go to the obvious submariner choice, mostly due to the "you will cry in pain when you see it" issue, and since my brother doesn't actually knows how to differentiate a watch from an orange, ive sent him a picture of an explorer I and the " do not under any circumstance spend more than 70 usd on it...". And so he did.. I ended up with a strange explorer that I quite like!.. and it costed 50 usd.... (no idea where he got it, and I don't think he has either).. and being not an expert or even close to that, I wanted to share a few phone pics of my new weird rolex... I would love some opinions about it.. and sorry about the crappy pics Cheers, A.

Hey all, not sure where to put this! I'm looking for someone with access to a gen rolex 1960's case with the rounder engraved font (as pictured below). If you have such a piece, and are capable of taking comparable pictures, please pm me for an epic build I'm about to embark upon! - Whoop
