Which 21j Submariner to choose?

[Stukov]

Hi!

I'd like to buy a nice Submariner for my father-in-law. At about 100$ category.

I found this: http://www.timeshops.net/Rolex_Black_Subma...c_1214-1370.htm

this one: http://www.watcheden.com/rolex-submariner-...-22241-p-1.html

or: http://www.timeshops.net/RO4758_-_Rolex_Su...c_1948-1841.htm

Is any of them accurate, at least a little? Or what else can U offer?

Welcome to the forum! don't be put off by the slow responses from fellow members. But use the search button... it's your friend. This topic is probably one of the most discussed topics on this board(if not the most). The submariner is probably the most replicated watch in the world, and there's thousands of versions out there. The best ones have all been discussed here extensively in hundreds and hundreds of threads. Do some research and enjoy.

Re:

I read a lot the rolex forum, but most of the accurate subs are at a high price for me.

I keep reading, expanding my knowledge about the rep world, until then I'd like to get answers.

So which one of those three?

When you only want to spend a hundred dollars, it's pretty much a crap shoot.

The first one from timeshop might be OK, but it's hard to tell from the pics and I'm not familiar with the case serial #- F432091.

The second one from watcheden is a fantasy model- not really available from Rolex yet- maybe in 2010.

The third one is so-so, once again, hard to tell from the pics.

The most recognized Rolex sub is the noobmariner:

But it too is dated- sub reps have improved a lot in the 3 years since the noob came out, but in it''s day it was referred to as the best sub rep out of the box.

But now we have the WM9 V2, unfortunately, it's not in your budget.

I'm heading to Canal street with the gang on Thursday. Maybe I can pick you up something

Thank you! No it's getting clear to me.

I will be here when I got the sub in my hand!

I have the first sub you posted. I just got it last week from Mark and I must say I like it a lot. The second and the third ones you posted look the same, except the watcheden one has a ceramic bezel. They both have the newer clasp and have the shiny SS bracelet. I don't ever recall seeing a gen sub with that bracelet so they could be fantasy models.

Here are some pics of my sub with my crappy camera and bad photoshop skills:
