Ceramic sub advice needed


Moto design

Recommended Posts

Hello rwg users, I am a relative noob (I own a few breitlings) and I'm interested in expanding my rep horizons with my first rolex.

after digging around the forum and the online stores I've decided to make it the black ceramic sub.

Its a classy great looking diving watch (I find the deepsea bulky) and the ceramic version adds some extra flash to the package.

A long search on josh\pc resolted in these 3 final candidates:

http://www.1-pc8838....ial-p-7851.html

http://www.1-pc8838....36-p-10611.html

my questions are the following:

1: is the differnce between the versions only in the movenents?

2: is the price differnce justified?

3:how close to the gen is the expensive one?

4:do the cheap movements have reliebility issues?

Thank you and god bless.

here are the answers to your questions

1.there are some slight differences but in my opinion i would chose the first one as it is SWISS ETA, that is the closest thing to reliability to the gen. the movement dosent look a thing like the gen but you'll never see that so you don't need to worry.

2. SWISS ETA is expensive because it is swiss (top quality) and the clones and asian copies are un reliable and wont last in the long term

3. the gen is quite different in these ways :

claps

hands

lugs

text on bezel

and accuracy

they are the most noticeable things

4.the cheep ones are made of cheep materials and are not reliable at all i once has a SWIS ETA asian copy and trust me it lost 10-12 mins a day it was hopeless so chose the SWISS ETA or have a look ant these links:
