astronaut616 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 I was wondering what you guys thought about the NO-DATE Submariners 14060M, I've not seen alot been reviewed and hardly anyone talks about it and very little sellers have it. So yeah whats the deal?
wat44 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 my mate has a gen no date sub I think they are not as nice as the dated versions he bought it because he didnt like the cyclops - if that was my concern, I would personally choose a seadweller with date, no cyclops...
giobo Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 It is not in a good rep level i guess... But if you like it it is an easy project to make by yourself.!!
astronaut616 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Posted November 10, 2011 what exactly that makes it not as good as a rep? what are its flaws?Im interested in getting this one http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12831&hl=Submariner+\No-date\ what do you guys think? critical comments encouraged
astronaut616 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 AWesome watch! my mate has a gen no date sub I think they are not as nice as the dated versions he bought it because he didnt like the cyclops - if that was my concern, I would personally choose a seadweller with date, no cyclops...
astronaut616 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 why do they say its a bad rep?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 no date is king! love em, gen can be had for less than $3,500, why would i need to know what the date is 300meters below? theyre also thinner in profile, i dont really like tall watches, the 1665 looks amazing but i hate the way it sits. there are NO good 14060 reps, NONE. maybe you should give the 5513 a try a franken can be made for about $1grand no one will know unless they open it.
astronaut616 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 what are OFF with the reps? What are the tell signs? This is the one I plan to buy and from my own comaprison I reallly cant tell: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12831&hl=Submariner+%5CNo-date%5C
woof* Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 I'm not aware of any good 14060 reps from dealers out there. This is mine, it was an older Swiss noob that got changed into a 14060. Gen crown/Clark tube, cyclops removed, lug holes drilled and a 14060 rep dial. Since I had moved onto vintage Rolex, and have a better 16610, the noob got no wear. All work done by our own Jmb.
alligoat Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 The problems with the 14060 rep are: 1. The gen case is smaller than the 16610 case- just slightly, like the SD and therefore it takes a smaller crystal, bezel and insert. The rep makers just use a 16610 case, etc. If it doesn't bother you, then it's not a big deal- it's a rep anyway! 2. The dial from Prestigewatchco is wrong with the serifs on the words 'Oyster Perpetual'. JMB's dials are better- esp. if they have good lume. The good thing about the Prestigewatchco case is that it has lugholes and the bracelet has the detachable end links, not SELs. But the crown emblem on the safety clasp sucks. Oh well, it's a rep! Drill the lugholes, trim the cgs, maybe install a better 93150 bracelet with 501B end pieces and go down the road. No ones gonna notice anyway. Same old deal- fix/mod your rep and go on.
