Tribute To Rep Submariners. Let's See The Classics!


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

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:

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 :rolleyes:

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:

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. :D

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 ...
