I bought it for my MKII Kingston (Which hopefully will be delivered in my lifetime!!) Now it's on my wrist holding my newly acquired 6538. no photos yet. the watch in the photos by the way is a Doxa pre-sub 300. possibly the only one around, and if not one of only a handful in the world. It has been documented authentic by Doxa, is featured in a Doxa ad from the early 1960's, and is in Dr Peter Millar's book "A history of the Doxa Dive Watch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I will ask again..... Which DEALER has the best Vintage that would replicate my Genuine Rolex 5508 I shown in my post Is Connie's the best? I do not like wearing my genuine vintages, they are more for investment I would like a replica that is most like my 5508 and I could "age" and "distress" to match the Rolex I keep in the safe Recomendatons, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 You certainly can't go wrong with the watch from King. You age the hands and dial, put a better insert on it and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about a year or two: 'Do any of you plonkers know where I can get a replica Ferrari Enzo, I don't want to get my real one dirty' Unreal, Marc.

Dizzy Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Awesome thread! lol I will ask again... Where can i get the perfect sub? Thats priceless. EDIT - If you have a gen 5508 why do you want a replica? I'd wear that gen and never take it off. If you want something anywhere near comparable as far as look and feel, you will need to get at least a Yuki case set and a good aftermarket dial, Yuki or better quality. Expect to pay $1200+ just for the parts. dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 That's not a gen 5508, not even a good or close copy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
