houndoggie Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 First- this board is great! A ton of info to pour through. I am about to buy my first replica watch and I want a Submariner with a swiss eta movement. I'd like the most accurate replica as possible (don't we all). The bracelet is least important because I will put it on a NATO strap. I am down to three: Eurotimer 2008 Black ETA from Eurotimez $475 RLX Submariner 2008 Supreme Edition from PT $350 ROLSUB0013 "perfect" from Trustytime $398.00 I've read a lot about the eurotimer and how good eurotimez is to work with, how about the others? I appreciate you help. Sincerely, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry about posting in the wrong section! Some more clarification: SS with black dial and date. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 These days, for Subs, the choice is between Eurotimez and Precious Time. Read the definitive review and then make your mind up. Oh, and the Trusty sub isn't even in the running. Avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 So more reading has lead me to eliminate the Trustytime sub... And added the WM9 v2 by BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patfvl Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You can check the new WM9 subs too. I bought a supreme from PT and it is a very good watch with a good case and bezel, the crystal must be sawp for a better one like the clark one and the dw print and dial is worst than the noob that is installed on the Euromariner, althought i expect to be almost perfect in the wm9 i just ordered yesterday. With the Euromariner you will get a real eta swiss movement and with the PT i i'm not shure if it is swiss or copy. What i have for now is a PT with noob guts and dial, and the only flaw is the date window that is not as wide as the gen one and the dw print, where the two digit dates are too big and fullfill the window where on the gen they are smaler and you see more white backgound. These days, for Subs, the choice is between Eurotimez and Precious Time. Read the definitive review and then make your mind up. Oh, and the Trusty sub isn't even in the running. Avoid.

Pugwash Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You can check the new WM9 subs too. That was my point. I linked to By-Tor's WM9 vs Euro review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think I'm going for the WM9 v2 from BK. At this point, I don't want to do a lot of mods. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seroberts Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 But, dosen't Chris @ Eurotimez have a new version Euromariner with the Clark crystal, close to gen new pearl....ect. that will start shipping next week. How will that stack up? Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 He might have but the crwon guards of the new V2 WM9 claim to be liek the GEN. The crown on the WM9 is also closer to GEN as the Euro. Difficult decission Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 But, dosen't Chris @ Eurotimez have a new version Euromariner with the Clark crystal, close to gen new pearl....ect. that will start shipping next week. How will that stack up? Cheers, Steve I read somewhere that since the bezel height is shorter on the euro the 2mm clark crystal was going to stick out too much. any input? besides, modding your cg's is like a rep wis tradition. wm9 and euro are top 2 imo.

freddy333 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 For the watches indicated by the OP, By-Tor's review is, as far as I am concerned, the last word on the subject. Of course, you must ALWAYS take a reviewer's opinions with a grain of salt, because his sensitivities & preferences may not mirror yours. The line, 1 man's trash is another man's treasure, should always be kept in mind when reading a rep watch review. Do YOUR homework (learn as much as you can about the specific gen watch you are interested in) & then begin the search for your best rep.

Stephane Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, these days there is no question about who to get "the currently best sub". I hate to say negative things but only WM9, Eurotimez, PT and BKLM1234 seems to offer something similar in accurancy. So, how about asking yourself what version do you want? With the Rolex-Rolex-Rolex-Rolex engraving on the rehaut or not? You said no mods ...you may also consider a pre-owned one from the sales section here... But, as Pug said, avoid our biggest recommend dealers at the moment. Their choice is huge and confusing and the prices aren't very good either... I do regret having sold my WM9 a lot. So in the end my choice would be to get a WM9 again. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfesq Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I would go with WM9 the BK version He qc's the heck out of the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm with jjfesq- the bk WM9 V2 is like a no brainer IMO. Shoot, you don't even have to mod it and w/ SL and all the other great features, it's got to be the new 'best out of the box' sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 By from Bk. I have worked with him a lot over the last year and I am very sure he wont ship a watch that is not perfect. If any issue does arrise he is located in the US and its a simple matter to send it back to be fixed. From what I hear it will be a close to perfect rep sub. If I had the money I would buy one myself....and I have 5 subs already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndoggie Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hey-Thanks for the guidance. I've decided to go with the new Euromariner v4 ETA from Eurotimez. Chris was very helpful and generous. I hope to take some nice pics when I get it (with NATO strap). It really was a toss up between the SW9 and Euromariner.

red Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Anotehr vote for BK's 2008 z-sub. BK replies quickly to PMs, and alleviates any of my concerns. Plus he uses TLC to install and inspect the watches he puts together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
