ebzen02 341 Posted December 16, 2010 So...What rolex would you buy with a budget of $200? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 16, 2010 The best DeepSea I could get for $200. Or an ETA Sub from Timesshop, from the supposed "Noobfactory". You'd have some $ left over, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebzen02 341 Posted December 16, 2010 What about the 50th Anniv GMT Ceramic Sub? Don't you have one doc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 16, 2010 I do. I haven't worn it for a couple of months. I don't rotate watches very well these days, just stick to a few. My only concern would be the GMT movement and it's modifications. Mine only cost me $80. I wouldn't shed any tears if the movement tanked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted December 16, 2010 GMTIIc also, the $88 DSSD from lay is awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 16, 2010 The DSSD has more presence. But I'm back into big watches again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImWatchingYOU 0 Posted December 16, 2010 I would get the SSD (sea-dweller) but it's not available anymore (I did order it, but received a cheapy sea-dweller in a PO case from TS). Therefore I am sending the SD back and ordering a GMTII, which is a really nice watch as-well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 16, 2010 That Noob SD was a nice watch. I think the "Super" SeaDweller is still available, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solkryssare 109 Posted December 18, 2010 That Noob SD was a nice watch. I think the "Super" SeaDweller is still available, though. Im afraid it's not. I would get my self a 1680 from PT . Or one of all the new vintage josh is offering . Perhaps a Bond Sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted December 18, 2010 Ceramic Sub or/and DSSD Rolex Ceramic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted December 18, 2010 For a modern Rolex you can't really beat the promotion watches from TS...quite cheap and excellent quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted December 18, 2010 Hmmm...I'm not a big Rolex fan, but I like the idea of the DSSD, or a vintage sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 18, 2010 As I've already got a deepsea, I think i'd be buying the best DJII I could find for the money.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mspangl 0 Posted December 18, 2010 djII would be really decent for 200$ unless u wanna spend like a 1500-3000$ for a superfranken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted December 18, 2010 The so called super sea dweller is no better than the "noob" sea dweller in the TS promotion. Both have the same slightly wokky rehaut, overly deep lower bezel and the minute markers are the same thickness throughout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T9000 0 Posted December 18, 2010 I've just ordered a 'new' version DSSD from Robert, with new bezel (correct-looking 10), upgraded lume and what is described as a 'premium' movement. A few people here suggested that Robert's previous DSSD was pretty good for a sub-$200 DSSD, so I figured that for $149, it was a good bet. It hasn't arrived yet, but does anyone have any experience / opinions in respect of those particular reps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 18, 2010 Yes, it's the best value DSSD out there. Surprisingly close to the top of the line models at well under half the price. I would personally find it hard to justify spending more. Can't go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djprone 0 Posted December 18, 2010 There is only one rolex for me - the milgauss. I think it will be my next purchase, i would love to find a decent bamford milgauss rep though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balad1 0 Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Just placed an order with Replicamake for this..GMTII BTW.. feeling really guilty it is not a Pam! lol! Did you see this Deep Sea from Lay that was on special for $88? I bought one and thought it was great, especially for the price. http://www.replicamake.com/product_info.php?products_id=1767 Edited December 20, 2010 by Balad1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted December 20, 2010 I'd quite like one of the green bezel 50th anniversary Subs and in fact I did order one from one of the trusted dealers, but he kindly provided a photo - it had a small ding in the bezel, and the triangles didn't quite line up (I think it's a click bezel, right?) When I asked him if he could find one without these two niggles, he replied that it was the only type he could provide. So I'm interested to know if anyone can suggest a source for a good one for under $200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DenGNNJ 0 Posted December 20, 2010 I like things that are less common ... Yachtmaster from Robert, 50th Anniv GMT (ordered and on the way), or a blue ceramic submariner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
