mars08 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've been spending most of my time (and money) in the Omega forum. Thinking of a change of scene. Can I please get some suggestions for the most "authentic" 21j Rolex rep currently available. Would prefer a model with date, if possible. Anyone?

By-Tor Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 "Most authentic"? You probably mean "most accurate", right? Noobmariner 21J Asian takes the cake, hands down: REVIEW Noob factory Yacht-Master is the second: REVIEW These two are very good reps by ANY standards, and as Asian 21J versions they're bargains.

dadog13 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I agree with what ByTor said...I have both of them from TTK and imagine I paid only 80$ per piece in the GB a while ago...great value for the money invested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 PS: Just beware of other cheap Rolex reps... they're complete garbage. Also beware the "Perfect" versions, which are outright horrible. Besides MBK, the only good Rolex reps come from one factory, and one factory alone, The same one that produces: GMT IIc GMT II Explorer II (old version) TT Sub Daytona Seconds at '6 Yacht-Master Explorer I Super Sea Dweller All are decent reps. Some require mods (like the 16710) but they all look fundamentally correct, SSD is the only exception with awful rehaut shape and (lack) of thickness. It doesn't matter how much it's hyped, it's the worst of the bunch, just imho. Other factories produce these same models too, but they're awful. Just learn how to detect the Rolex reps from this factory. There's a review of each and every one of them in my section (except for the SSD and ExpI).

mars08 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Glad that was sorted so quickly. Thanks to all. Just want to confirm one thing... The "Noobmariner" name refers ONLY to the black bezel 16610 rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Noobmariner" name refers ONLY to the black bezel 16610 rep? Yes, the green one is called Noobmariner LV. They're the exact same watch both... LV just has the maxi dial. It's just as good rep.

sconehead Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 My first rep was a 'perfect' LV Sub which turned out to be a TW Best. So got to disagree with By-Tor there as he reckons they're decent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
