chiman12 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Damn that looks good chi!! Yet another added to the "I should be saving up for the gen I want but migt just have to get this first" - list. For a $198...a little sweat...hopefully no tears...it'll be a great looked piece! I'm going to try a new fading technique on the bezel...will keep everyone posted on this! @Star69...that is a freakin great collection of subs!!!

preacher62 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah, she might mis-hear me and think I said "tart funds"! I'm running out of places to hide watches... Understand that! I'm always saying things like, "No, I just put that dial on that other watch", or "I just changed the band..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeromatic Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Well i recieved the redsubs from puretime i was not sure if i would like the tropic dial/bezel so i ordered both versions, the brown redsub was perfect with a nice thick tophat crystal and good case i love the 2846 eta slow beat, great sound i found the tropic dial a bit too new looking for a vintage watch but very eye catching as a homage watch. the black redsub looks more vintage with its matt black dial both watches have nice yellow markers not over bright like most other out of the box reps and the crystal has a quality feel without looking cheap this is the only reps out of the box that i will leave the crystals alone all my others i had to replace this, black dial redsub was not water resistant a quick splash under the tap soon had the crystal fogging up, the tropic was watertight and i assumed that the other one would be! anyway i took it down to my watchmaker friend when we removed the bezel and bezel retaining rings the crystal just fell off held together by a plastic ring once the ring was taken off it could not be refitted so my watchmaker made a brass ring and also glued the crystal with epoxy now the watch is watertight! the other problem was that the spring pin holes were not drilled out enough and the rolex type thick springpins were reccessed in the case (the tropic holes were good so we drilled them then i wet sanded the case sides with 600 grade wet n dry and then polished up the case to a less shiny finish this also smoothed the newly drilled out holes date magnification on these watches is good a nice watch for 200usd out of the box or a good candidate for modding i will add some photos later on!

freddy333 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I hate to always be the dissenting voice (aside from Justasgood's citing of the incorrect bracelet stamp) with these types of pieces, but all of them look like Canal Street watches to me. Yes, they can be modded, but I would begin the process by throwing out the parts that seem to be their biggest selling points - their dials & inserts.
