Guys, quick question, I, m after a good rep or closest so to speak of a submariner 5512, same model as the king of cool Steve Mcqueen wore. Looking on silix sight (my prefered seller) the closest ive found is in the budget collection and it's rol251, but it hasn't got a riveted bracelet. Anyone point me in the right direction please, cheers guys

You've been here for almost 4 years... Either ask silix if she can source one or hit up Marvellous Replica's cartel specials and ask for a rivet bracelet instead. Check M's section for the specials.

Terrible advice. You have enough posts to know better.

 

Nothing in the pictures at Silix is what you want. You want a JK factory (JKF) sub sometimes called a cartel. Closest thing you can find and the best one to mod you can get. Ask Michelle if she can get them and ask her the price. Marvellous replica has these on sale for $100 in 21j, Sead at Supermirrors is $129, and others are higher. Add roughly $75 to their prices for ETA

 

Believe me, I know. I have them all. This is a 5513 but the 12s are the same just 4 lines of text.

Rich huge thanks mate, sorry I haven't replied sooner been away with work, I'll have a look on marvelous replica now, 21j is fine for me especially as the gen wasn't a 288000bph movement.

My 5512 says "Hi!"-- This started life as a "cartel" case with ETA-- Pratt over on RWI did the mods and "vintagizing"-- is that a word?, lol. Sounds dirty. :giggle:

HAH.

Mate, PP is a very no-go word around rep-land.

Find a good TD and just give them a standard credit card.

All dealers have access to this watch. If you have a dealer you have a relationship with that takes paypal you can get this. The price will vary but you can get it.
