Watcheden Submariner choice

[Steed72]

Hello there,

Excuse me for my poor english, I come from France...

Last year, I bought my first Submariner 11670 at Idolreplicas :

http://www.idolreplicas.com/rolex-submariner-oyster-perpetual-date-automatic-with-black-dial-and-bezel-replica-watch--11670.html

One month ago, I lost the insert pearl of the bezel and I bought a new bezel insert for substitution.

When I wanted to remove the initial bezel like here

I have not succeed to remove it but only to put out of order the watch.

So... I want to buy a new and best quality Submariner and I learn that Watcheden is the same company than Idolreplicas.

Now, I hesitate between two models :

http://www.watcheden.com/rolex-submariner-swiss-eta-2836-movement-with-ceramic-bezel-2009-updated-version-i-40306-p-1.html

Thank you to help me for this choice !

IMO:

The best out of the box is only 'WM9' sub;

or beter 'BK WM9'.

Welcome indeed, and a fine choice of avatar, I like my tea stirred the same way as Steed (a true Avengers fan should know this )

WatchEden is a fine dealer to do business with. Looking at the two watches available, I would suggest the $305 version for these reasons:

- It has the black enamel on the etchings inside the clasp

- It has the green sticker on the caseback (not really essential, but they do look nice) and

- It's cheaper

Best of luck with your purchase

IMO:

The best out of the box is only 'WM9' sub;

or beter 'BK WM9'.

I don't believe that WM9 produces a replica of the 2010 Submariner...

Thanks for your answer !

If I understood everything, WM9 is the contraction of watchmaker9.tv ?

It seems you must to be patient for a few months because there are many pre-orders ?

And I don't know the price of these replica... but it seems too waiting for me.

And BK WM9, is this the replicas of Submarine than bklm1234 offered here ?

but too expensive for me...

The two models of Watcheden seems to be a good compromise but I hesitate !

Yes you are in right, sorry.

Fortunately they do not get last SUB.

[Steed72]

Others expert advice ?

I think ordering tomorrow !

At this moment, I would opt for the $305 version.

There is also this one with Asia ETA 3135 Movement...

http://www.watcheden.com/rolex-submariner-asia-eta-3135-movement-with-ceramic-bezel-i-41747-p-1.html

Most expensive but I don't know the specifities and the qualities of this movement compared to the Swiss ETA 2836 ?

stay away from this movement - overpriced and crappy IMHO

in general i find all 3 watches too expensive - i whould pay max 200$ ..

the "street" price in Asia for this reps is around $100

cheers,

I used watch eden the other week and i was very happy with the service, i am not sure if that watch has actually been released from rolex yet but i am sure you will be happy with it.

[Steed72]

Received yesterday my new Submariner.

It's seems good for this moment !

[TeeJay]

Glad to hear that all is well, I hope the watch will be satisfactory

HI there! you might be right about idle and watcheden the photos and items are the same! I see you too are a AVENGERS Fan! loved that tv series and diana rigg ! and she was great in "on her majestys service" will lazerby i have bought from idlereplica and was very happy with them but you have to study the items in the photo well there are some cheaper watches that have flaws like vintage sub no date with writing on the dial o,perpetual date! but his swiss high quality watches are good

@steed72: the upper link is a noobfactory version, the lower one is not. So yours is not a noobfactory one. Nothing's wrong with that. Noobfactory models generally have better overall quality than any other Mainland China mad ones. For example, the noob has a better bracelet, clasp, and better fit of the SELs at the lugs. Your version doesn't have the proper rehaut thickness but has very accurate date font. The noob has the proper rehaut thickness but inaccurate date font. Neither has properly lined up rehaut engraving.

BTW are the mid links brushed on your bracelet? Gen has them brushed, not polished. I'm waiting for this correction on the noob too.

Thanks TeeJay

I was lucky to pass the customs without problems ! The package wasn't so "anonymous" like Watcheden had told me in a mail...
