Mariom Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, new to this forum and don't know much about reps. I've ordered this watch, and I've just received the QC images. I'd like to just ask if this submariner looks ok and if it looks up to scratch? Thanks in advance. Edited April 26, 2016 by Mariom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Date looks pretty left justified 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcardoza Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Agreed on the date. Seems to be a common issues with the V6s....... It's really hard to believe that the factories can't get past some of these basic issues! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 As it is an issue w/the V6's (DW) doubt you are going to get one without of course you can ask for another but might be pissing in the wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariom Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks gents, I'll ask for another perhaps.... Date alignment is off-putting! ...doing some research, I have seen some decent v6s reps with decent date alignment out there. I ordered mine from Ryan at Intime. The photo below is of another v6s supplied by intime to another customer....id be happy if the date looked as good this example. What do you think gents?

themannier Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I believe that the date alignement depends of the movement... The v6s with the 3135 clone might be better than the a2836 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariom Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi gents ...should added this is the 3135 clone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiparks Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 the single digit date might look ok in the watch that went to Ryan's other customer, but his double digit dates might be off too, sometimes the dates are great 1-9, then go off base 10-31... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Not sure it's applicable here, but left justification has always been a problem with vintage Rolex builds if you use a gen dial or a gen spec aftermarket dial. The DW position is slightly different for gen movements and ETA movements, so a dial that uses a date window position that looks fine with and ETA movement will not be OK if you use a gen movement, or one of the 3135 clones that has the gen location DW. I had this problem with my 1680 when I put a gen dial in. Not sure why this problem has cropped up with these V6's if previous versions were OK , unless they are using the same dial for both the 3135 clone and the a2836.

Mariom Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks gents, attached is another vs6 (lined up against a gen). The date wheel looks decent..double digits too! surely there must be some v6s out there with decent DW alignment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariom Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 So the the supplier has now sent new QC photos of a v6s with a 'better' date wheel alignment. They have sent me a photo with the date set to '2' (single digit). I've ask them to re-send me a photo with the date set to a double digit. Awaiting their response. The date on this one looks good. Thoughts guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hologramet Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 It looks exactly like the previous one. Exactly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunklee Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think loss of 9 seconds a day is pretty reasonable. Should be good enough performance for reps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 You´ve been through a heap of qc-pics already so just get it, there will be another released before this Year is gone. The 3135 is an unreliable specialty movement, so just get this if You want to invest more and upgrade soon; The dial on the 3135-version is inferior to the one on the reliable A2836, starting with the spacing 300m and the crown on the dial. What the V6s needed in the first place was a much better insert compared to previous versions - and it just isn´t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan310888 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 What did you pay in the end? How much is shipping to UK? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariom Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Hi, just received the watch..I'll upload some photos later. The total cost was around 500 dollars. Shipping to the uk is 35-40 dollars I think Edited May 5, 2016 by Mariom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan310888 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Nice. Are you happy with everything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariom Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 As you can see I'm no photographer. Overall it's decent for a rep. Still confused as to how they can get so many details to a good standard, yet mess up on the date wheel. The date wheel alignment is out and the font seems thicker compared to my brothers genuine Sub. Does anybody know where I could buy a Sub that overrides these flaws? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 It looks good overall, specially endlinks, bracelet and crownguards. The other Sub "that overrides these flaws" is the classic 16610 from TC in the V6 version. At a later stage or if movement/stem problems develop on Your SA3135 You can always upgrade the datewheel overlay and have it well centered when going with a replacement TC 2824-2 or a Yuki-movement. Same goes for the crystal (replace with gen) and hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
