Recommended Posts

Have you check the Rolex LV Green SS Submariner "PERFECT" model of Josh and Andrew? $150 difference, anybody have an idea why? They're both advertising same movement: Swiss ETA 2836-2, and almost same mod; Josh have added or spelled out mod on bracelet.

Although I am under the impresion that they are selling the same watch, albeit with very different modifications, the watches in the pphotos do not look the same.

Josh LV - Look Closely at "Swiss Made" and the hash marks

See the difference?

Having purchased these watches both ways, there is a significant difference. Josh has someone modify the bracelet, CGs and case, whereas Andrew's watch is mechanically serviced (same service as Josh).

With all the talk of late about misleading advertisements, it's unfortunate that many people may not know whether the advertised mods are real or marketing hype. I have bought several of these, and I have enough subs to know the difference - a lot of work goes into the mods, and the finished product has a discernably different feel.

Since the watch is built upon the same base as the MBW - that being the TW Best case, I think that Josh's watch is probably the best version of the modern sub available as it has a lot of labor put into that the MBW does not.

Thanks a lot, Bill! :victory: - that's very illuminating! Should I believe the Swiss ETA 2836-2 claim and is it worth the extra $150, I mean for all the labor and such.

Thanks,

How is it different?

'

Josh's has a somewhat flat appearance while Andrew's appears rounded. I think that Andrew's is the better of the two.

However, if you have difficulty seeing the difference, it really isn't an issue for concern. <_<

Absolutely.

It will have a Swiss ETA, and it will have been serviced as represented. The ones I bought from Josh were very nicely done, and the difference in the cases, and bracelets, are obvious.
