irolexu Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Only reason I bought one was for the bracelet. Hollow mid links for my TW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratpatrolteam01 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) bloody [censored] hell, i don't think either of you have answered my question eh? plus, i'd rather not spend +$300 on a rep again. And $200-250 Sub reps from other dealers look either the same or inferior than the one in Timeshops.

irolexu Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 To answere your question if the watch I was gonna order to WEAR I would go with a 16610 from a trusted dealer here as they maintain QC very well. Idk much and don't expect much from timeshop. Best thing to do is save a little longer and get a watch that will last years vs a cheap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 bloody [censored] hell, i don't think either of you have answered my question eh? With that attitude you're sure to get a whole lot of help. If you want the most accurate sub $200 rep you can get, buy a PAM or Omega, not a Rolex. Rolex's use of in-house everything means that most Rolex reps have serious flaws until you get into the $500+ price point (DJ and DD excluded).

Rolex's use of in-house everything means that most Rolex reps have serious flaws until you get into the $500+ price point (DJ and DD excluded). Apologies for such behavior. Regarding to PAMs though, I have considered it and I really don't like their designs at all. I was looking more into a sports watch. I was thinking of getting the SMP 300, Submariner / Submariner-C, Tag Link, or a Breitling SoH.. I also thought about other Breitlings, and POs... I do not like the design of the PO to be honest with you, and the time + date simple Breitlings cost a lot. Tag Heuer Link, I can't find anywhere really that has an Asian movement, only "Swiss" ETA and costs $250 (and with shipping and CC fees, it's a lot) Breitling SoH, is just as pricey if not more than the Link. So the choices were the SMP 300 or the Sub SMP 300, I have found a asian movement one (25J) with the correct 10 o'clock HE Valve position from a TD. Sub, I find them everywhere obviously but I see that TS has the RWI Promotion and has Ceramic, and non-ceramic in asian ETA for $140 (non-ceramic) or $168 (ceramic) shipped via EMS. And it's the Noob factory one, which I think is the best one out of the box except modded ones like BK, etc. so that's why I decided to go with the Sub. Price (I was looking to buy a budget one) and I heard a lot of good things about it. I was just looking for a list of major tells of that watch (but no avail). Anyway, thanks for your time *BTW, I'm looking at the black not LV Subs. Edited October 31, 2011 by ratpatrolteam01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaza Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 both are not accurate..... lol, precisely! but the 116610 is flagrantly not accurate! stick to the older model dude. and if you can afford to throw some $800 on a rep. then get the WM9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giobo Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Guys the man is saying he doesn't want to spend $$$ for his sub.. If you are so into sub buy one from a member in the sales area..Either here or in the other forums..You will have it for much less.. Also i can tell you the flaws but i think you didn't say which one you have chosen 16610 or ceramic..?? Maybe you should do a little research by your own..It is better that way..Don't worry so much about the tells though..The noob classic sub is a great value for money watch!!

woof* Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 They are still using GMT cases for ceramic subs, therefore by default the 16610 is better, although flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
