CharlesDickens Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) I'm sure we have all noticed that the latest crop of Subs, Exp II's and GMT's are looking mighty fine these days. Why is it though, I wonder, that the date mags all seem to be suffering? It there a fix to this? Are the sapphire's set too low? Are the cases too shallow? The standard CN Sub had a shallow case last year but the mag was still on point. These rep makers are frustrating.

ubiquitous Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Take 2 steps forward then take 10 steps back. Natural evolution of a typical rep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I totally agree... The date mag is the one thing that most regular people recognize with a Sub, besides the sweeping seconds hand.... A weak date mag can ruin an otherwise nice replica. That is why I have still not bought the latest "TW best". Last year I got this from Silix: Biiig date, and biig Crown guards..... Actually a bit too big date. The movement was faulty, so I had to send it back. Now, I am awaiting Silix' attempt to manufacture "The best Sub".

CharlesDickens Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Ooooh! That's what I'm talking about. I'll take "too big" any day! What's this about silix and "best Sub"... I have some reading to do. Honestly, I wish I purchased Rivers 2005 sub from last year. Nice CG's and datemag... I'm an EEEEEDIOT!!! Oh well. Thanks for the pic!
