rosamannen Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Hi, everybody! I'm new to this watch hobby thingy, but this seems like a decent enough place to chat to others. I've just ordered a Noob Factory Rolex Submariner replica from yourtrustytime.com, and I hope it'll work well for me. Can't wait to see it.

modelizer Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Welcome to RWG pinkman! Håll hårt i kreditkortet..
rosamannen Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the kind welcome. I might as well add a couple of pictures of my daily beater, which is a gen Rolex Datejust from 1989 w blue dial, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Edited September 28, 2011 by rosamannen
maxman Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 A gen Rolex as a daily beater...not to shabby. Would love to see your special occasion watch. Mike
rosamannen Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 A gen Rolex as a daily beater...not to shabby. Would love to see your special occasion watch. Mike Hi Mike, Unfortunately this is the only quality watch I own, which is why I use it for all occasions. But the noobmariner will probably be the new beater. If I get another watch for special occasions, I'm rather inclined towards a gen vintage Omega Seamaster with black leather strap. Or a Sjöö Sandström, which my father and brother both have. Yesterday I received the QC pictures from Andrew and they certainly look promising. My wife asked me today why I didn't order a rep Datejust Midsize for her instead.

It's probably a good idea to get your wife DJ. let us know when you get your noob...Im sure you will be quite pleased. Mike
rosamannen Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Posted October 7, 2011 I've just noticed that my Sub has been dispatched from sorting center in Guangzhou. Let's hope it makes a quick journey halfway around the world.
rosamannen Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Posted October 8, 2011 And now it's released from customs in Sweden, so it's so close I can almost smell it.
wat44 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 Welcome, it's exciting to track your first rep.... In time, you won't even track them at all! I have two inbound and just let them come!!!
rosamannen Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Picked up my package at the post office this morning. I'm at work and still haven't opened it. I think I can hold it off a bit longer... No!
modelizer Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Heck even I can feel the butterflies.. Open it NOW!!
rosamannen Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I did. Edited October 11, 2011 by rosamannen

Let's hope it makes a quick journey halfway around the world. And now it's released from customs in Sweden, so it's so close I can almost smell it. How did you get you package so fast? My tracking number hasn´t had an update since it left Guangzhou 1 week ago Also, did you get any updates before it arrived in Sweeden? Oh, and Welcome from a "neighbor" in Norway

My tracking number hasn´t had an update since it left Guangzhou 1 week ago Also, did you get any updates before it arrived in Sweeden? Oh, and Welcome from a "neighbor" in Norway Well, it took about a week for it to show up on the EMS webpage, After that it was very quick. And thanks!
josjevee Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Go' dag, go' dag og velkommen til. That was a rather quick delivery, yes. Believe that (unfortunately) Swedish mail/customs are more 'flexible' than the Danish one.... Enjoy the daily beater and keep us posted on the next purchases
rosamannen Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Posted October 31, 2011 This is definately becoming an addiction. I've just ordered a cheap Datejust for my wife and two ultra cheap subs from Silix... http://www.silix-prime.com/rol064-p-1982.html http://www.silix-prime.com/rol125-p-2043.html http://www.silix-prime.com/rol154-p-2072.html The pearl came off of my black sub, but Andrew has sent a new bezel insert by air mail. At the time being I'm back to using my gen Datejust on a daily basis.
rosamannen Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Posted November 2, 2011 And the QC pictures have arrived... Not bad for a total of $142.98 including shipping to Sweden.
rosamannen Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Well, the watches have arrived, and they all look great. The blue sub is almost purple. And to think I was considering modding a sub to get a purple one. This is excellent. And as you can see in the QC pic of all watches together, the datejust is indeed a lady sized one. And I thought I was ordering a midsize. Well, the error is certainly on my behalf (although it said 29mm and not 26mm on the website). The wife's in France at the moment, and I just hope she'll like it anyway. I noticed some differences compared to my black noobmariner, like solid midlinks, less magnification of the cyclops, but tha't just details. At that price, they all look great. And it's a minor issue that the cyclops on the small datejust sits a bit too low, but I'll think about it and see if it's something that's worth talking to Silix about.

PeteM Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Congrats mate Is that Coke Rollie based on a gen? I quite like it in a funky sort of way
rosamannen Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 Congrats mate Is that Coke Rollie based on a gen? I quite like it in a funky sort of way Thanks! I don't think it's anymore based on a gen than any other rep. It's basically identical to the blue one, and at $29.99 it's quite cheap as well.
