Idanbenabu Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I would like to purchase a Rolex watch. And I can not understand the differences between all the factories that exist. JF NOOB and all the rest. Can I please explain what to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 That would be an undertaking they all do different ones better, narrow it down to one model it gets easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 OK newer model or vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 As Mike says the different factories.have different specialties. For a modern Sub you should consider the Noob V7, for the 16610 the JF is the best currently available. If you are looking for a vintage piece, the answer is not so straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost anything that is standard non-complicated ETA clone will be fine or cheaply made to be fine. Some of the Venus 175 derivatives (ST19) can be a bit fragile. ETA 7750 with full working chrono's in Daytona setup are bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the decent replicas of the submariner, you have two main options for the movement: - asian clone of Eta2836, - asian clone of Rolex 3135. More reliable is 2836, it hardly would require you to do any service. In 3135 it's hit or miss, you may receive the movement which will work fine without any service, or your movement can die after some time.

Mike on a bike Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have always been happy w/ my A2836's, run well never a problem and who is looking inside the case anyway, a rep watch smith perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
