nach211 0 Posted February 23, 2018 So Ive done some homework but albeit not as much as many of you and im ready for my first rep. Some are just way out of my price range so I wonder if anyone has bought this before from Aootime http://www.aootime01.com/Replica-Rolex-Submariner-Watch-11984.html That said, is there a better model black sub on that website I should be looking at? Id like to be all in under 200 unless anyone has any other ideas. Also hi, im new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,745 Posted February 23, 2018 I believe that is a fantasy model. I don't think they ever made a red sub with sapphire and indices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any on there under 200 you would look at? I saw a nice one in the Swiss section with the cyclops at 190, thoughts? Or is that one reasonable? Need some insight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rx4Time 1,472 Posted February 23, 2018 This is my suggestion for your budget... Best value and build for the money in that price range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jking92 5 Posted February 23, 2018 Save up a little more and buy a noob or keep an eye out on the m2m section, save the disappointment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really comes down to what type of watch you want. You can get a good1680 red sub for $100 with 2813, or $170 with 2836 clone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,496 Posted February 23, 2018 If you want a good vintage Sub with red letters like these: https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-blog/rolex-info/trio-rolex-red-submariners.html then I suggest you the 5th in this special deal: You can also potentially mod it to a more gen case shape and put inside a gen Swiss 2846 movement taking out the date function and with 3rd wheel and cannon pinion and hour wheel from the one in the watch (http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&ETA_2846) to have a lower bitrate (more similar to the gen) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
