kennycoder 97 Posted August 28, 2016 V7 submariner is a great watch, especially considering the fact that the green bezel is really spot on... just look (credits to zocker4711 from RWI): Major issues with it are of course the incorrect bracelet (as per timeline of releases, especially considering pre 2016 rehaut), really bad SEL fitment and the dial that is kinda fantasy and very shiny. Nothing that can't be fixed tho. I sourced a v6s bracelet here but it still wouldn't fit as well as I thought, so the problem lies in the drilled lug holes. After some tinkering and duct-tape experiments I managed to achieve a pretty good fitment.. not perfect but really close to that. Now the dial.. I've read that the BP dial for hulk is the best available.. correct writings and not as shiny as noob, so pretty close to the real deal. Snatched the dial here on RWG pretty cheap. Problem is... it has 4 feet and of course it's not compatible with SA3135 movement. After some "dremelling", I removed the dial feet and installed the new dial with as much precision as possible. Pretty darn good result if you ask me: For more information of rep vs gen: https://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/329798-Big-Noob-SubC-v7-Thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diplomatico 191 Posted August 28, 2016 This SEL seems recessed as it should? Have you replaced it for a V6S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kennycoder 97 Posted August 28, 2016 This SEL seems recessed as it should? Have you replaced it for a V6S? Yes, that's what I wrote in the original post It's a v6s bracelet with some duct-tape tuning inside the hole where the springbar goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf359 1 Posted August 28, 2016 Looks fantastic. Not sure if I should keep mine and mod it, or get a BK and mod it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rolex321 0 Posted August 28, 2016 Looks spot on mate. Great work! Bezel colour looks good aswell. Very hard to get a feel for the colour in photos usually due to the way the light reflects of these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
