hooky Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hi Guys, tried to search on the forum, but could not really find something. Does anyone know when a good version of the Submariner 2010 will be released as a rep? Or what are the current best versions available? Thanks!

alligoat Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 The biggest flaw to the current versions of the Submariner 116610 is the polished mid links. This can be fixed by brushing them (the mid links). Lume on these models should be blue, if I'm not mistaken. Case and bezel/insert are OK. Can't help you on who has the best model. Check the dealer section and start asking the dealers. I'd figure these models all come from 1 or 2 factories, just my educated guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how to brush the midlinks. Thank you. Take a green scotchbrite pad, and gently rub it along the bracelet until the polished links have the same brushed appearance as the outer links Just remember to only brush with the direction of the bracelet, not across it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 It would be a good idea to take the braclet off the watch and also tape the brushed side links w/ some masking tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfm67 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) It would be a good idea to take the braclet off the watch and also tape the brushed side links w/ some masking tape. Thanks for the info! Is the brushed look more authentic? My sub has brushed on the sides and the middle is super polished.

AllergyDoc Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The new Noobfactory ceramic Sub has correct brushed midlinks. The side of the links are polished, as per gen. BK is offering this watch now. Look in his forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The modern Noobfactory Rolexes all have a big flaw: The ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraving doesn't look even remotely correct and it's not properly aligned with the '9 hour marker. Lots of peole say that it's not a big deal but for me it was... I don't know why they refuse to fix it... makes no sense. It's the same issue with all (otherwise nicely repped) Rolexes from this factory. PS: I'm quite surprised how little interest this new 2010 Submariner has generated in the watch forums (rep and gen). Very few people seem to be excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 PS: I'm quite surprised how little interest this new 2010 Submariner has generated in the watch forums (rep and gen). Very few people seem to be excited about it. From just the photos it does not look very 'balanced', and looks targeted at a younger market who either isn't buying watches or are going full bling instead. Funny thing-- my AD tried to tell me "they went bigger because Rolex customers were getting older and it is easier to read as their eyesight goes". Ummmm, yeah riiight. Since I have a good rapport with them, I fired back in jest-- "it might be chunky enough to break their fall, so they don't break a hip." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 BK is shipping me one of these shortly so I'll do a little review when it comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sub1 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey Watcher, any update on this? I am looking to get one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Not sure I will see this watch as I received a letter from the UK Border Agency yesterday asking for details about the contents of the package. Not sure they have opened it so I sent a letter to them which they should receive today. I will not say what it contained just yet but if they decide to open it then I'm knackered for future rep deals at my address used!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm sitting in the same boat my friend. Can't get anything outside the EU without customs interference. That's why it's good to have Precious Time shipping the goods from UK. Whenever I got these letters I completely ignored them. In my country they'll keep the letter for 2 weeks and then ship it back to the sender's address. Could be the same principle in all EU countries.

FDG Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Never had any problems, always have them shipped with DHL for speedy(2 days from china to NL) deliveries. No customs risk whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 There is no such thing as "no customs risk, guaranteed". The Netherlands customs might be very liberal or sloppy, but it's completely different elsewhere in EU. You can only speak from your OWN experiences. Consider yourself lucky. During the 6 years I've been here I've heard of dozens of EU customs issues. Many have involved DHL, FedEx and other courier companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Usps express mail as usual from USA. Not sure why this package has been flagged! As Bert is on holiday he has not replied yet.maybe the declaration was not clear on the form? I will have to wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Has it been mentioned that the gen of these new subs actually have AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackjo Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yes, but only on the cyclops. This is a major issue that has a solution but it would take some patience to go through the steps to fix it. I would love to come across another gen crystal for a 116710 I would snatch it. Has it been mentioned that the gen of these new subs actually have AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Happy ending to my story. The tracking has updated with 'released with charges' which is VAT on a bracelet purchase I said it was in the package. They had clearly not opened the package so things should be OK.

sub1 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hey Watcher, great to hear, I emailed BK and I think I will probably order. Let us know how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
