majesticvapes Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 I am wanting to get a decent quality 50th anniversary Submariner and need help and opinions from some of you guys. I love replica's but I am no where near an expert. I heard That King Watch was a trusted seller and I have one that I picked. I just want to see if it is something worth purchasing. Here are the Specs It has Swiss ETA 2836-2 Black 268 Movement SS Oyster Bracelet with Diver extensions 40mm x 12.5mm thick Material One piece forged 316 Stainless Steel Sapphire Crystal Close 6 and 9 I wish i could post a link, but i can't The price is $245 and I am willing to pay more for a better replica, up to $350. Let me know if this is one I should get or if anyone has better suggestions?? Thanks!!
coffindodger Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 HI mate, Go here to Toro,s and get the latest NOOb V4 its the best for your money http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_115&product_id=1014
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 some pics of the exact watch would go a long way
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 its this one here i'd skip this one if i were you. the TC sub is worth twice the price. even if it means having to wait to afford it. http://blog.tc-sub.com/2012/05/tc-watches-list.html if you simply cant wait you can see what dealers still sell the classic noobmariner http://puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-16610lv-green-50th-anniversary-edition/
majesticvapes Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks highoeyazmuhudee I emailed TC. I think its worth the extra cash. Looks like he is the best too help!!!
coffindodger Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I thought tc lv are sold out tho? Thats right TC doesn't sell these any more
jcrystal23 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 I'm not an expert, but you could buy a TC and swap out the black insert for an LV insert. Just not sure the best place to get an LV insert. I can tell you that my TC sub is fantastic, Not a single complaint.
coffindodger Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 +1 that's what I would do get a TC v6 and look for a green insert
maevit4996 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 I've had a TC LV sub for over a year now, still keeps perfect time and with a gen insert, it is the closest to gen rep I own.
pam007 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 You could install the green insert on the 16610LN but you'd still be missing out on the Maxi dial and Maxi hands that the 16610LV has.
majesticvapes Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Posted August 6, 2014 I ended up getting this one from Josh RLSS00032 16610LV Black SS Sub Swiss 2824/3135 (RLSS00032). Thought????
DVNE Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 I would have held out for the tc. I had one. Best 16610 rep on the market
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 I ended up getting this one from Josh RLSS00032 16610LV Black SS Sub Swiss 2824/3135 (RLSS00032). Thought???? not worth it, that movement is also problematic. from the lume pic i see the hands are blue but the dial is green, not good if not TC sub then these are probably your next best options http://puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-16610lv-green-50th-anniversary-edition/ http://puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-16610-lv-sa3135-best-edition-v2/
majesticvapes Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Posted August 7, 2014 Ouch.... i only heard great things about Josh. What are the Problems with the movement?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Ouch.... i only heard great things about Josh. What are the Problems with the movement? if its the 2836 dressed up to look like a 3135, then the red paint on the reversing gears eventually flakes off into the movement
indywatchguy Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Ouch.... i only heard great things about Josh. What are the Problems with the movement? Majest you need to listen to us the more experienced members. We won't steer you wrong. Absolutely hands down TC currently makes the best classic sub. Don't settle for less unless you don't want the best accidental rhyme.
maevit4996 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 Why not just purchase the ceramic LV? http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v3-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/
majesticvapes Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 Well, its a little too late......I already ordered from Josh. I thought he was a trusted vendor after reading the forum. Has anyone had issues with Josh in the past??? I heard all good things.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 he is a td his review thread is here http://www.rwgforum.net/forum/112-reviews-jos-nanajoshua/
Bc1221 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Posted August 11, 2014 I don't understand why everyone keeps saying for him to get a TC. TC doesn't make LVs anymore. You can't just pop on a green bezel. The dial and hands are completely different. OP, you should be ok with the purchase from toro. I've never heard of the paint flaking problem but it seems likely. Maybe you should open it up every once in a while and blow away the flakes? If it craps out, a A2836 is fairly cheap to replace.
Lou88 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah you wld be missing the maxi dial and hands.. Im in the market for a tc lv too.. Will have to wait for one to pop up
coffindodger Posted August 13, 2014 Report Posted August 13, 2014 how bout mine lets call it a round £1000 lol
