samrobinson2013 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi guys just seeing if anyone has the rolex submariner from the pro hunter series and what they think of it? It's going to be my first rep and I love the black on black look this watch has. I'm going to buy from trusty time as I've read a lot of reviews and Andrew seems to have great customer service skills! Anyway any advice would be hugely appreciated, also should I go for Swiss eta 2836 or Asian eta 2836 Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imajedi Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Of all the watches I've owned, I likes it the least. Looks like a toy in real life, not like a watch. Just my opinion. It also probably had the worst build quality. Date wheel didn't line up at all, bezel is not gen construction. Just overall not for me.

mcotter Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Opinions do differ! I have a few of the " blackened" & I like them.However, they are a bit esoteric & not for many, especially for the vintage lovers as I am. That said, my Prohunter GMT gets a fair amount of wrist time & I am fond of it.....I'd say if you're attracted to these go for one & give it a try! The DLC coating is very durable, I've yet to have an infraction on 4 various pieces...Best, mcotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samrobinson2013 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for the info mcotter the one I was looking at is this http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=10447 which has a PVD coating but not sure, still dont know whether to go for a Swiss movement or Asian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi and welcome to the forum. As this will be Your first purchase stay with Andrew, he´s got a very fast e-mail response, sending of qc pictures and shipping. With time You will want to try out other TD´s too. The Asian eta 2836 is fine and gives a very fine, smooth sweeping of the second hand same as the swiss, myself would prefer to order a 2nd watch even with Asian 2813 or Quartz and save on the shipping instead of going for the swiss. The former Rolex 16600 series have smaller dots and green lume and are a very nice pick too (168 to 188 USD range). Than there are brands like TAG and Breitling, Omega..... What goes good for the black is that it´s not immediately recognizable as a Rolex, less ostentatious, personally I prefer the DSSD in SS or PVD over the pro-hunter but its big and heavy. Good luck with Your choices and purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
