Nathaniel Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Actually in the topic I was referring to the biblical punishment, not getting high. I've been looking for a decent replica for some time, and every time I think I've found a site I might be able to trust, like a "information / review site", I then find they're just part of the scam they warn others to be aware of. Very disheartening. Very simply, I've been looking for a 2-tone, blue submariner, and too many sites try to tell you for about a grand they have "swiss quality, ETA Mecaline 2834 or 2836 movements, solid 18kt on the bands (bracelets?), crown and bezel, and high quality solid 440 ss. Someone vendor was actually "just getting into swiss replicas" and he was probably honest and said the gold was 5 microns and an "asian" movement (not very specific). Some other vendor said his watches were "quad wrapped." After spending a short time here, but many hours, I find that anthing more than about $200 or less is getting you nothing but financially laid. But, then I see when anyone asks here, or on for a referral to someone who is honest and actually has good quality subs, everyone hoots them off the boards and makes fun of them for their ignorance or because they don't understand some labyrinthian code of secret conduct that can only be perceived by some long internship of staring into a replica crystal until total enlightenment is somehow magically bestowed. Regrettably, my birthday is coming up soon and my wife wants to buy me a high quality, Blue, 2-tone gold/ss rolex with a swiss movement. So, at the risk of being stoned is there somewhere, here on this board, or another board where I can go to discuss this without being made fun of? I hope so, Thanks, Nathaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cucumber_Jones Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 There is a dealer secton here - take a look through it. Then look in the dealer reviews. Even try a search for what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehtolcad Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 as we're just getting re-established here, it's important to remember that when people get/got flamed it was because they were being lazy (or disrespectful). people that think that this is/was the helpdesk. this is not the case at all. however, when a person poses a well thought question and has done research the story is completely different. i think that you'll find that most will bend over backwards for a person that goes about things in a respectful manner. i know from my own research whom i believe has the best tt blue sub, but as i do not own one, i too will let others far more knowledgeable respond.

higgy Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 You will find most dealers subs a comparable. TTK (Time To Kill) will probably give you one for free if you purchase one of his coveted "bezel protectors"... No kidding Welcome and goode luck with your search and purchase.

jsph Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 wow... that would be starting right off in the deep end, getting your hands on one of those bezel protectors! i'm still just saving up... jsph p.s. ttk: will you be posting any all-black submariners or sea-dwellers on the dealer's gallery? p.p.s. ttk: with the planet ocean perfected -- any chance of having a word with the factories about improving the 2254.50 (again)?
