Bansenshukai Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 A friend of mine is highly interested in a Rolex rep. He collects watches and has an impressive collection of gens to include Rolex GMT and Zenith Defy, along with about two Omegas. He has a budget of $500 to purchase a Rolex rep. What would be the most "true to the gen" Rolex rep out there now? It does not have to be a Submariner, or anything complicated. It just has to look real good. PS - I'm assuming that he will send it for lume after receiving it. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Something from WM9 if he can stretch the budget. If he can stretch the budget a bit more, a franken of some kind. He could probably build a datejust out of gen parts (bar the movement) for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 This, I guess... or the WM9 Yacht-Master. ...and if you have only about $300 and can live with the incorrect hand stack, this is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 This, I guess... I want one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 With the BK WM9 Submariner, he won't have to send it for a relume! But it costs $600 for V3. Didn't V2 used to run $530 shipped in CONUS- still no need for a relume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Tribal considers v2 better than v3. Dunno about that but I guess they're both excellent. Actually the v1 (PT Super Sub) is quite amazing too... very underrated rep and it had the best SELs ever. Funny, after getting v2 with superlume and everything I kinda miss my v1 with Flat S. I loved that rep. I think you can still get it for less than $300. Great value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
