[millemiglia88]

Hello again guys. Finally I choosed this watch with eta movement http://pure-time.com/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-noob-maker-edition-eta2836/

I decided to pay through bank deposit.

My last question- is it safe and did I choose good watch?

Bad choice in my view.

 

Because of these reasons:

1. It's an old model (Added on: 2012-07-06). In the meantime many improvements have been done. Most probably that one is not even available anymore.
2. Swiss eta in Chinese watch? Consider that ETA stopped selling movements in the open market back in 2010...

Seriously you need to read a bit more and get informed. Start from the pinned posts in the Introduction/Rules/Support and General Discussion areas.

 

If you want to spend such amount of money in a Sub-C then surely you should get one from BK (a modded Noob V5 based LV Sub-C) -> http://www.rwgforum.net/forum/196-bks-watch-garage/

 

Or, to get the best standard piece, then get latest Noob V5 with Asian ETA clone -> http://pure-time.com/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v5-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/

Hi guys,

Finally I got today this piece: http://pure-time.com/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v5-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/

Iam not sure if I should be satisfied or not.

The cyclop is to high. Could anybody here give me an advice who could sell me original mineral front glass including original cyclop?

I dont have experiences with replicas.

My question is: does exist any replica which looks really like original?

I choosed a simple model from rolex but also this model doesnt look like original despite its simple.

It depends on how paranoid you are for the details.

Imho a top quality rep is the Blancpain FiftyFathom. In general closed casebacks are the ones to go for if you want perfection. Panerai 243 and many others are perfect too.

Just remember that :

1 these are rep. Don't expect 1:1 quality with watches that cost 10x more

2 who do you think may notice your watch, and between them, who is so knowledged to notice that quarter millimeter mistake? I tell you: MAYBE the autorized dealers.

3 your cyclops can be replaced and reglued

[millemiglia88]

Thank you for a fast and quality reply. Could you give me your recommendatiin who could replace the cyclops?

If you are in EU Ssteel for example.

Not sure if you are in US.

No, the Asian 7750: http://pure-time.com/product/pam243-m-noob-maker-11-ultimate-edition-on-rubber-strap-v2-a7750/

Or the first 4x here: http://pure-time.com/category/blancpain/

Or this hublot: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=34_70&product_id=1092

You have to compare them with the original and make up some knowledge on movements and finally take the responsibility to choose what you want by your own.

Cheers.

[millemiglia88]

Thank you I will contact them.

How do you know that hublotreplicas from toro are better than from puretime?

And is it not better to choose any model without chronograph?

[millemiglia88]

No, the Asian 7750: http://pure-time.com/product/pam243-m-noob-maker-11-ultimate-edition-on-rubber-strap-v2-a7750/

You must be a watch master:-)you know everything around watch. Edited April 27, 2015 by millemiglia88

And the cyclops at panerai you send the link must be removed too or is it ok?

[GenTLe]

Panerai cyclops are built within the main crystal. Not glued or applied later, so there is no way to replace it (unless you replace the whole crystal with a gen one).

[millemiglia88]

And what about the chronograph hublot? Is it safe?

Whats the difference between toro hublots you added and puretime hublots?

[GenTLe]

Mate, as I said before, it's time you start walking with your own legs.
