DWSmoot Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Is it me...or does the rehaut look better on Andrew's new Ultimate sub model? Anyone seen this in hand yet? http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1234 DWSmoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Man, this one has the date too far on the right side... The rehaut looks better,but not deep enough.... I don't know what is ultimate on this Sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm with Tribal plus this one achieves the deeper set dial by locating the crown (and movement) very low on the case. Judging from the photos, the crown is almost off the case. It would be hard as hell to get an OEM tube into this case. With the gen, the bottom of the crown is flush with the case. Really, these guys need to start with a clean slate and finally get this watch accurate, specially at this price point. They did it with the PO and others so why not the Sub & SD?

Pugwash Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Someone needs to put a proper ETA 2892, or even an Asian slimline 28k, movement in these. I agree about going tabula rasa on this one's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I don't know what is ultimate on this Sub? Agreed. Seems that the $458 "Ultimate" description is basically the same as the $308 "Perfect" description except for: Watch has been re-worked specially on the Case & Bracelet to make this the "Ultimate" version. I am very glad and very fortunate to get an MBW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub's crown is centered on the case. Seadweller's crown is flushed with the bottom of the case. -bm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 They did it with the PO and others so why not the Sub & SD? that's why the 45mm PO get my attention more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Gen: Rep: The rep's crown is too low in the case. I believe this is what I was attepting to communicate above. Not sure what the issue is with a couple of above posters. In any case, since photos are worth a thousand words, one can arrive at their own conclusions.

HollyW00d Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well, I actually ordered one from him a couple of weeks ago. He did not have this offer at the time, but apparently he is not using the TW Best Sub case, he is using a different case not shown on the site, which in his words is "the best case made in China", with the same thickness as the genuine sub, 14.5mm. He has promised me it would ship numerous times, and when I ask him why it hasn't shipped I get excuses. I paid extra for the sanding of the bracelet so I understand some of the delay. He doesn't give me straight answers when I ask him questions, so to tell you the truth I don't know what to expect when the watch comes in. If the date optic is to far to the right like it is in this picture I will not be pleased. BTW, why do the crown guards look like crap in the picture, couldn't he have found a better picture to display on his site? IT looks like he milled it with a hand file. When it comes in, I'll be posting pictures. I estimate it will be in between now and next Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
