EnTaroAdun Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Hi guys, do there exist good versions (i.e. Noob) in an unbranded version, meaning without any sign of Rolex? What do you think about this one: The Bay I am not good enough to tell quality only from sight.... But I think it looks decent. I think it would be kind of funny if people think at first one is wearing a sub but on a second glance it is just an unbranded one Cheers!
Greystash Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) I got one off the Bay a year or so ago. The bracelet is hollow link, with solid end links 93250 (I think that's the right code for the modern bracelet) It's really very good, has the extension as well. There is not a rolex mark on it or the watch anywhere. It has the maxi dial and fat hands and it's a bit woky. It sports a 2836 though so it keeps good time, I also have had it uder 2m of water. No leaks. When I compare the CG's to my gen they are pretty dam good. They look better than the angle of this pic shows. Edited April 23, 2008 by Greystash
EnTaroAdun Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) The one auctioned under the ebay link I posted also has an ETA 2836-2. Although I am far from being an expert, I think it also looks pretty good. Here is the link again: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBMARINER-DIVERS-WA...1QQcmdZViewItem Hmmm.... what to do :-)) Edited April 23, 2008 by EnTaroAdun
chris5264 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 I'm no rolex expert either,,,and here it really may not matter. I think the decorated movement and open case back are really nice,,,I'm a bit tempted myself but will probably stick with my recent goal of a nice two tone.

Though it looks like the watch has changes just a little. Mine does not have the display back and the CG
Star69 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 the seller is homer - member of this forum and a good guy Frank
francodino Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Hello, I have bought the "unbranded" GMT from the same seller from the Bay. It is "first class" quality! That means, perfect heavy casse, perfect heavy band and the most importend thing.... is has the REAL SWISS Movement inside incl. a nice caseback! For this price... you can't go wrong I hope, that will help you Have fun with your new watch!
EnTaroAdun Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Posted April 23, 2008 Thank you so much for your answers! This forum shows once again to be a place very worth being! P.S. It is good to know that homer is the seller, so one does not have to go via the bay...
MajorSharpe Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Thank you so much for your answers! This forum shows once again to be a place very worth being! P.S. It is good to know that homer is the seller, so one does not have to go via the bay... If one of these breaks down, do watch repairers happily fix them? I have heard that often, watch repair places do not like to fix replica watches, but seeing as this one is unbranded, it is more of a homage watch. If so, how much does it usually cost (and more specifically if anyone can tell me, in Australia) to service?
USMC8404 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I have three of these watches. They are of the highest quality. I own two of the Submariners and one GMT. Highly recommended! All three keep near perfect time too.
dalame Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 since both of the ebay links are expired, can someone name the ebay-seller of these watches? i like the idea of unbranded rolex, but im more interested in an unbranded daytona.
FxrAndy Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Just go to the collector section and PM homer
USMC8404 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 He (Homer) doesn't have a Daytona version of these watches. He currently has Subs, GMTs, and an Explorer II. There are also some nice Pam knockoffs. If you go onto ebay and search "swiss ETA" his site will pop up. Or try this link: http://stores.ebay.com/Exclusive-Watches-Inc-UK Good luck. These really are very nice watches.
fakemaster Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 All of these links are dead. Any working ones?
TOKI Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) The link posted by USMC works fine for me. And by the way, I have 5 subs from this seller. On the last three I requested no display back and he was able to take care of me, don't know if he still has solid backs though. As everyone else has said it is a very solid watch. Not a perfect sub rep, bat a damn fine homage which is what I prefer. Oh, and first rate customer service. Arthur Edited August 25, 2008 by TOKI
fakemaster Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 I saw that one worked. But if I'm going to pay that much for a watch it might as well have the logo on it.
USMC8404 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 How's the lume? The lume is very good on these watches. Much better than most unmoded reps. If my camera was working properly I would post a pic but I am having software problems
