By-Tor Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey, I don't think we have ever posted a picture thread of the most popular rep ever: The Submariner. I guess most members have owned at least one Sub at some point of their collector career so rarity of the model shouldn't be any kind of excuse to not to share a pic. Please also share a story of your Sub... the model (CN/TW/WM/MBW etc.) and where and when you got it. So c'mon guys, let's see 'em..!! I've owned so many Subs that I can't even count them anymore. Here are my 4 favorites: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 i'll bite i bought this from a modder and this is what was supposedly done to it. i can't verify any of it. but i am happy with the watch and it does get a surprising amount of wrist time. of course i've only been waiting 5 months for the LV noob i ordered from neil to keep it company. but that's another story ETA 2836 Swiss newest 1:1 case fully polished bezel OEM bezel insert correct crown guards modded 3 step satin finished 93250 bracelet hollow midlinks 3pc fused SEL's like OEM 93250 clasp OEM spring bars perfect 2.5X date mag sapphire crystal aligned date wheel and mag perfect dial w/ awesome lume re-sealed and lubed w/ Teflon grease waterproof for swimming (tested to 5M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 My tribute... The 16610 Franken... The only one I still own. Various MBW 1680's (all have come and gone)... MBW 1680 turned Tudor 7928 (wish I had this one back)... LV oldies from way back (the pic quality might be a slight clue as to how old they are)... TW Best turned LV (yes, I know... Lugholes *ugh*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 1680, 5512 and 5513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 My first rep was a Noobmariner from TTK very nearly a year ago. I've taken one or two pics of it in the last year. Early, early pic: First wristshot I took - March 24, 2006: The bezel insert was replaced: I've worn it on several straps: I'd like to thank Chieftang and Narikaa for saving it when I broke my O-Ring: And, for my first anniversary, I'm getting an LV from TTK. Oh, and I have this one, but it's in bits, getting all prettified: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Wow, this thread moves slow. I took a new shot to keep it going. I've just finished the crown guards on the 1680. I'll go take a pic for this thread... back in a few minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 My Franken 1680 on the left, Gen to the right (have fixed the CGs, will take new pics after I hopefully get Ubi/watchmeister datewheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Check out that mirror reflection on the crown guard. I found that getting rid of metal was easy, but getting it to look like you hadn't attacked it with metalworking tools was the challenge. Excuse the state of the watch. It's far from showroom condition, apart from the crown guards. ps. I have one thing to do that it appears no other crown guard fixers do, so I'm going to leave it a secret for now ...
