Vintage Sub w/ Blue Bezel

[sbl1984]

Hey all. Could anyone provide some background on the two belowmentioned watches from Silix? Besides being a general noob, I can't seem to find any info on these vintage models/pics/etc. Any comments on either would be appreciated (I think both look nice aside from the clasp and back cover). I'd probably throw either one on a Nato band.

These watches aren't much. I guess you'd call then fantasy models- Rolex never made anything like them. 100m=330ft, not 220ft, so the first dial is wrong. There's never been a black dial sub with a blue bezel. There was a 1680 in the 70's with a blue dial and blue bezel, but that's about it.

But at $60-70 plus shipping you're not spending too much money, So if you like them, who cares. They're just not very accurate as reps go.

I'd say to avoid them, simply because there are nicer basic watches available at even cheaper prices, and because Silix has a less than perfect history when it comes to delivery times/accuracy of order being shipped...
