Anyone selling a submariner or suggest a good rep?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys only my second post here but was just looking to find out if anyone was selling a replica sub or could suggest a good model. I bought one from Iparadisiac but was disappointed. The magnification is less than 2.5 and the black on the bezel marks up easy. I reckon its a vinyl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks 

Neil

The question you've posed is a loaded one. Buying a good rep is quite a bit more complicated than just picking a watch model and plunking down a few hundred dollars. The good news is that you've already figured out how not to buy a Sub replica!

 

If you want to learn how to buy an outstanding rep, here is the missing manual.

It will walk you through how to select a rep, how to select a dealer, how to purchase, and the care and feeding of the rep after you've received it. Best of luck.

Hi and welcome. Good You joined the forum. Many answers to this question, so I summarized them up 4You:

TC has the best, BK has the best, MBW was the best; buy what You like, BP is better, Noob is better, V3 is the best :) now the research starts.......

 

Easier to find right away: Tudor Blackbay/ Breitling Superocean Abyss 42mm white or black

Generally reps will fall into categories which greatly impact price. Best out of the box reps will be BK or TC but you will spend over $700 for a piece with a few gen parts.

Basic rep with lots of flaws will cost around $300. Any of the dealers listed here can supply.

Finally, a franken, which takes a rep and adds significant genuine parts will cost even more depending on the level of modification and the specific genuine parts used.
