jerome123 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Hey, I'm a noob in the rolex area and I can't identify this submariner : http://www.1-pc8838.com/000rlss00088-2008-submariner-asia-3135-serial-p-7851.html I would like to read on this model on the forum to get to know more about the flaws... Which version is it, the WM9, V3 from the noob factory? I'm looking for the best submariner available around 400 USD shipped... Thx, J.
cib0rgman Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 The you need to follow TCs thread and BK but it will cost you at least $500 or more
jerome123 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 I'll send them PM to see what they have currently to offer.... Do you have any idea what is the model on the link I posted? What would you advice me, Asia 3135 V serial or Swiss ETA 2836-2 (gold mvt only) ? Which one is the most reliable? Thx, J.
jerome123 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 Nobody has an idea of the watch on the link I posted? It is the Andrew's website if I'm not wrong...
alligoat Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 It's actually Perfect Clones- Joshua's website. The watch is just a typical chinese rep, so don't get too excited. I'd stick with the 2836-2 for now unless you're adventurous (and have a watchmaker to fix the movement for you). You'll spend more with BK or TC upfront, but less in the long run because you'll have a quality piece.
iceman81 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 try to get a noobmariner + wm pearl for beginning or get a bk tw, at the moment best available sub
jerome123 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 Thx guys for the infos, I thought it was a noobmariner (according to Joshua's website, it is as it is in the "n-factory best" section...)

jerome123 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 thx for your feedback guys, I just ordered a noobmariner ceramic black from BK, I'll keep you posted, I'm really impatient to have this beauty in my hands ^^

jerome123 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hey, Let me share with you my best experience with a rep. Thanks to your valuable advices, I ordered from BK the black noobmariner ceramic. BK had it in stock, so just after my paypal, he sent it (like 2 - 3 days after having received). The watch was drop to the PO on February 11th, and I received it today, the 17th, so quick and smooth! The watch is really nice, even the best pics on this forum cannot let you imagine how nice is this watch in real. My only concerns, as you can see on these pics, are these (I'm a noob in rolex rep) : - the white triangle on the bezel has on side not really "straight" due to a bad finition I think, I asked BK how to remove it by cleaning or what do I know... - the center of the crown that is designed just under the 12th triangle is a little bit on the right and is not fully aligned with the triangle - the needles are not as blue as the markers concerning the lume... The rest is perfect (for me). Let me know what you think, and if you want some more pics, tell me. Sorry for the poor quality, I took that with iphone. Edited February 17, 2012 by jerome123
duke1973 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Looks good, but crappy lume is to be expected from a rep. The reps I decide to keep and mod always are sent off for a relume first. IMO, bad lume is one of the biggest tells in rep. People will say "who sees your watch in the dark anayway" the answer is, not many, but the ones that do would know in nanosecond that it was a rep!
jerome123 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 yes that"s what I was thinking... who can do a good relume on this forum and how much does it cost?
