RWG Technical Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Rolex Submariner – Josh Works package model… Got this one in for lume work, and I was really impressed when I opened the case… Nice looking sub from the front, this is after the lume application. Even nicer (at least to me) is this beautifully finished ETA 2836-2 movement, what a beauty. Even the Rotor has been cut out like the real movement, and they added the “Red” gear as well…nice touches… Check it out with the Rotor off, isn’t this nice... So after that much attention to detail and wonderful workmanship, we get this for a case back…what a bummer… Thanks for reading. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well after the IWC Portuguese debacle this is a refreshing and pleasant surprise. I'm sure Joshua will be busy this weekend processing orders for this. Thanks very much The Zigmeister for your superb and upbeat post.

r11co Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Has that rotor not just been switched from the ubiquitous Asia 21J movement.? Certainly looks like it! Oh, and those casebacks are priceless! 18K stainless steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover321 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Wow! I just noticed the 18/750proof too Has that rotor not just been switched from the ubiquitous Asia 21J movement.?

By-Tor Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I didn't know Joshua was selling the vintage model. Pearl is shite though... and that oversized & wrong red SUBMARINER font jumps to the eyes, once again. Other than that it looks nice and reasonable. And it's worth getting only because of the cool caseback... All rep hardcores are Shitinerand fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 That caseback it a bonus, not a bummer! A highly collectible piece of replica watch lore...No collection is complete without one of these, and a "Robot Watch" Seadweller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I didn't know Joshua was selling the vintage model. Pearl is [censored] though... and that oversized & wrong red SUBMARINER font jumps to the eyes, once again. Other than that it looks nice and reasonable. And it's worth getting only because of the cool caseback... All rep hardcores are Shitinerand fans. I just checked my notes, and it was from Josh... at least that is what the notes from the owner said... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 SHITINERAND is a collector's piece. Get them before they're completely discontinued and impossible to find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
