jcagara08 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 congrats on the new sub man! For me, really the tell-all factor is the LUGS and pearl, dammnit what does it take to rep it perfectly? 3d printing??LOL the lume I suppose is blueish Nice comparison..just bump at this thread today.

lala Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 guys any comments on the recently released version this aug from the cartels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPN Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Anyone else notice differences in the lugs as well? Seems that the gen has thicker lugs (like the GMTIIc) whereas the rep seems to have slightly more tapered ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAlex Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 They look exactly the same to me, I think 99.99% of people will not tell a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexious Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 The hour hand is off. The genuine seems to use the "old" Sub hour hand but a fatter minute hand. The rep is actually better proportioned ironically. However, seems very noticeable to me.....I used to not even notice these details.

naskorea Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Where can I find the best rep black ceramic sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Where can I find the best rep black ceramic sub? I have just ordered a 116613 Tu-Tone from TrustyWatchGuy. Takes paypal and shipps quickly. I should sell my MBK Royal Oak Off Shore Chrono to offset the purchase. Mine has the running seconds at 9.

PPN Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Looks great! You just need to AR that main crystal and cyclops! Does the gen have AR coating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjj123 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 If anyone is interested, I have a watch just like this one, but mine has a blue dail and bezel with polished center links. I'm wanting to sell it, or I may trade it for a strap watch. I like the two-tone omega Devilles. http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlss00089-2008-submariner-blue-asia-3135-serial-p-8287.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaza Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I heard of a recent version, they call it: Submariner Supreme. It's believed to be the most accurate Submariner rep. ever. Any insights? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Only the cyclops has AR coating, not the crystal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgk Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Watcher from where did you buy the rep above? It seems to be of high quality and almost identical to the gen. I read a lot about a seller "BK" but I can't find that seller. Can anyone send me a link to his website? Thanx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 The rep shown is a BK model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 How is the steel compared? Is it 316L or 316F? I am not sure but this sounds like scam speak (not you, the dealer you heard it from). What is 316L vs F? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C. Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Watcher, Quick question for you which you may not have the answer for if you have the gen on your wrist ! Can you tell me how accurate the timekeeping is on the BK rep? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionjack Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Great post! Does the gen have the laser-etched crystal? It's visible in the photo of the rep, but I heard they did away with the lec on the new gen's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-hunter-2000 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Am a Newbie here but after looking at the pictures, it would take a horologist to tell the difference in a crowded room. To me that is a great Rep. and only a few thousand dollars difference. On my budjet in these economic times would gladly settle for the Rep. Glad that someone can afford a gen though, I could but would have to take out of savings as am 65. Have a friend who is a high class jeweler and he stated to me in confidence that he had obtained two gens over the years to wear and he was not impressed over a good Timex. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiderdaus Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Congratz to your new gen. Honestly speaking does not take 2 sec to spot the rep. The lugsize and CG are the obvious tell without looking closer on the wrong indices rims and wrong hands. Not talking about the pearl and ar on cyclop and wrong Color of the insert engraving. I guess sneed mentioned to own a rep case that have the correct lugsize and cgs. I personaly Never Seen a 116610 rep Case that is correct and have the finish and sharpness any close to a gen. So long i Stick to the 16610 until i find a correct 116610 rep case until i find a correct case. Maybe i oversaw it im Open for any reliable tipps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alifizan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The lugs and sel are an easy give away, why can't they bloody get this right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagara08 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 wow only now that I have stumbled upon this sticky because I know there is know sub-c yet which is close to perfection as I happened to own one from before, I do hope rep watch makers can make a 1:1 rep that is the same as that of the TC sub where insert is the last thing to be perfected!: Wear in good health!

stillincontrol Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 hey watcher im assuming you got your rep sub from BK and it just arrived right? If you dont mind me asking, how long did you have to wait between placing your order for the sub and him shipping it out? I ordered mine on 12th nov and im anxiously waiting for a email from BK to tell me mines ready for shipment, but i dont wanna bother him with unnecessary emails asking him how long more mine will take! Thanks. not sure when he leaves but he gets back from china on the may 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
