Slim 0 Posted December 14, 2010 I've been amazed and impressed by the sheer range of replicas of Rolex models past and present on the various trusted dealers' sites, but surprised to see no sign, on my travels, of this one - the Submariner without date function. Anyone ever seen a replica of one of these? I believe the above one is real; found it on a Google image search. But if I was going to buy a replica Rolex, that's probably the one I'd look for.

KBH 7 Posted December 14, 2010 They're readily available although I've never really looked for one. Try in the vintage section of a couple of dealers web sites. Here, I just went to Perfect Clones site and he's got a whole page of them:http://www.1-pc8838.com/submariner-vintages-c-55_64_416.html You'll have to open his web site twice since the first time always takes you to his home page.

Slim 0 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Thanks! It seems there are few non-date Sub models to be had, but I couldn't find a contemporary-looking one, like the one in the pic I posted - all the models I can find have the old-fashioned markers without the metal trim, and the plexi crystal. A bit surprising, but I expect everyone wants the date on a newish-looking Rolex replica. The magnifier is one of the classic distinguishing features, to be sure.

KBH 7 Posted December 15, 2010 It would be easy enough to take of the cyclops if the cyclops is what you don't like. It's been done before. Or just buy a Sea Dweller, but they're getting hard to find. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthrea...97.html?t=49597 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Thanks. It's not the cyclops, it's the date I don't want. I will have a look at the Sea Dwellers though. I did find a replica at http://www.best-replicas-watches.com, but whether they are reliable or not, I have no idea. Bit more than I wanted to pay, anyway.

Eiderdaus 0 Posted December 15, 2010 if you find one let me know :(. bear in mind, the SD is a bit smaller but thicker. i like the look of the 14060 no date but never seen a rep. i thinking since a few month to get one but never found one. maybe together we manage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiderdaus 0 Posted December 15, 2010 got one :( http://www.replikauhren.com/Rolex_Submarin...6610-93250.html I have ordered there once, I think they are no real scammers but more expensive. I would not buy this because for nearly 300$ the rehaut should not that be that woky. only my opinion don´t blame me again kbh but if you buy it you can take at least the dial . I will ask mary if she is able to provide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted December 15, 2010 All the 14060 reps are crap, the gen has a thinner case and smaller dial than the 16610 and is no use for stir frys :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted December 15, 2010 All the 14060 reps are crap, the gen has a thinner case and smaller dial than the 16610 and is no use for stir frys That's what I was thinking. I thought they were all 38mm but I wasn't sure about the latest one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiderdaus 0 Posted December 21, 2010 i don´t know where your info is coming from but to my knowledge all 14060Mer have 40mmx12mm (doesn´t matter if COSC model or not). M is since 1999 and the 14060 was from 1989-1999 . On these models it could be that the diameter was 39.5mm but never 38mm. Could be that the 5513 (which was the predecessor of 14060) was 38mm but with vintages I don´t know, but i guess it was always around 40mm. The difference to me is the height of the case which is at a 16610 12.8mmm instead of 12 at the 14060. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eiderdaus 0 Posted December 21, 2010 SEL is not available for 14060 or 14060M. But it´s not clear if there will come a "facelift" for the 14060. Maybe something will happen in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiderdaus 0 Posted December 21, 2010 found another one http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlss10002-black-di...362-p-1791.html but not correct height, guess they are using normal sub rep cases and this model has SEL. It´s funny bcause one of his 16610er subs has a gas escape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted December 31, 2010 found another onehttp://www.1-pc8838.com/rlss10002-black-di...362-p-1791.html but not correct height, guess they are using normal sub rep cases and this model has SEL. It´s funny bcause one of his 16610er subs has a gas escape. So this version appears to be "crap" because it lacks of quality or because its not accurate to the gen. I would love to have a no-date rolex! Is there a no-date SD available ? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted December 31, 2010 Not AFAIK - I thought all SDs came with a date, but I may be wrong... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Yep I checked SD is always with date, but no cyclops So it has to be non-date Sub then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sugaray 0 Posted January 1, 2011 The problem with the no date is thatere there is little demand for it so suppliers use the same case for it as the date model. While in reality rolex makes the no date slightly smaller and with lug holes which are present on some of the reps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just not accurate to the gen. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
