pcardoza Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Has anyone taken the plunge on the ROLSUB0017 - Submariner SS Black "ULTIMATE" - Swiss ETA 2836-2 on TT? http://www.trusty-watch.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=1234 Lots of claims made as to full service on the movement, additional waterproof measures, brand new maker (JF maybe?)...... At $500, it's slightly less than BK or TC. I'm wondering how it compares to those........ It could be the new answer to "Who makes the best Sub?"............ LOL!!!!!

pcardoza Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I sent an inquiry to Andrew and he says it comes from a "small maker" that few other dealers have access to........ Hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Iceman Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Is that a new item? Its showing that it was added in 2007? or am I missing something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc1221 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 eh. after shipping, you may as well pay a little more and get a TC. the dial has the anorexic crown. crown guards look horrible. Hands are nowhere near TC quality. Dial print doesnt come close to TC. A2836 so the stem height is gonna be too low. insert printing doesnt look good. pearl isnt bad. the crown doesnt look bad bracelet and clasp look good too. SEL fit seems nice but overall, its no TC. www.trusty-watch.com/bmz_cache/9/9f4e9a6b4c2535e45230b4e24fa0dc64.image.733x550.JPG the print is already falling off the dial. i highly doubt these were made by "swiss trained technicians" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elchino Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have that one, it has some tells like the pearl in the insert just felt down and the cyclops is too big IMO, but the watch keeps great time (+2 sec per day) and i snorkeled with it without problems, let me know if you want me to post some pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secfincorp Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't think that is too bad. I have 2 tc's and love them but really think people get caught up with issues only seen with macro photography Sent from my HTC Desire 610 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 TC V6 delivered in EU: $548 + $22 = $570 Andrew delivered in EU: $508 + $70 = $578, it´s more expensive, optical window dressing. TC not only looks, it IS way, way better and 9 out of 10 are good (estimate) vs. probably 3 or 4 good 3 or 4 medium and 2 or 3 very bad (estimate) from the other maker. Only thing I liked was they tried to put a serviced ETA in it (is it?) without all the colourful decorations - and that´s a good thing. Look at how thin the TC is - height between caseset and bezelring Tc always on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this forum, we discuss, to a superfluous and sometimes inordinate extent, the flaws and tells on our reps. In real life, most of these "undesirables" are all diminished except for the most egregious ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
