Trusty Time - NoobV7

Recommended Posts

BigTazz31

Good Afternoon All,

 

I have recently become interested in the hobby of replica watch collecting and decided to dabble in my later years. Now before you ALL roast me, I have read multiple articles on the NoobV7 and Trusty Time. I was told Andrew is a great person to work with so I decided to place my order for the below. I am simply looking for the BEST AVAILABLE Rolex Submariner Two Tone available. Can you all give me some opinions both good and bad on my purchase and if it were a wise choice? I want to learn and that's what I am here for. Just takes a little while for me to type in my old age. And read, and learn how to use the computer, and just about everything else hahah.... thanks all.

You seem to have done some research, so I'm confused as to your question. Currently, the Noob v7 (and v8 in the Hulk version) is considered to be the best quality STOCK rep available in all versions of the basic sub (date and no date). It's safe to assume you will have the most gen-like sub if you go with a v7.

 

I will say that for many people, a two tone sub is a bad choice. It doesn't go with everything, and is very flashy. If you're into that look, then go for it, but for many people the solid stainless steel models are a more robust option as they go with literally everything.

British Petroleum. Their logo color scheme is green and white.

 

Or, in the rep world, it's the name of a specific rep 'factory', like Noob or ZF.

I ordered my watch from TT - Andrew on 6/25 and still have not received QC pics. Should I be concerned?

I just got tracking information from them yesterday and a text message with DHL update. Said my package is going through Hong Kong and I should receive it here in Atlanta, GA tomorrow by end of day. Does this sound right to you all?

Here is what I paid for : http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=15385

 

Rolex Two Tone Sub Mariner - $688

Rolex Matching Box - $108

 

Here is what I received for over $800.......

 

The Watch arrived DOA

The Bezel does not sit centered on the watch.

The Bezel is extremely sharp as opposed to genuine Rolex

The gold on clasp is fading to orange and completely different color than the bracelet links.

The links on the bracelet are very loud - "clinging" / "squeaking"

 

Overall the watch is a completely over priced piece of garbage. I took it to my trusted jeweler who told me the quality of the watch was worse than a cheap Seiko for $25.

 

He also stated that there is a place down the street from me that sells better Rolex replicas for $50 - $75.

 

Result : I will be contacting Trusty Time and demanding my money back or disputing the transaction with my bank. I suggest nobody ever order from this distributor.

Knew you'd be trouble from the get go, dispute the payment with your van is a no no, totally against forum rules

Mr bank manager I bought a rep from china and its shit can I have my money back? Really?

 

If you'd done your research you'd know what to expect, the gen isnt anything to compare to, it's a $10000 watch, you should of known that gold plating on a rep is a bad idea, hmmm it sound ratly? It's not real gold dude!

 

I'm sure it's not as bad as you make out anyway

 

Breakdown

QC pics should have been gone over throughly

You can't compare rep to gen quality

Gold plating is not the best in reps

DOA yeah that's a concern but trusty would put that right

 

He's one of the oldest TDs around and hasn't got this far selling shit

This post has me pretty worried. My QC pictures looked good to me but my watch is sitting at my house and I haven't got my hands on it yet. I went with TT because of the reviews and longevity. Sure hope I made the right decision
