sirsubsalot 0 Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I found RWI around September of last year, and I am broadening my horizons =) I have bought a few nice reps and none have made me truly happy. I just bought a vintage sub rep and hope to give someone carte blanche over making it near-gen. Current watches: Gen: Vintage Sub transitional 168000 blk/ss, R16570A Explorer II white/PVD, Breitling Chronomat white/tt/brown croc, Tag Kirium white/polished, Tag F1 white/ss, Tag F1 blue/ss, Tag S/el white/ss. Rep: 5513 vintagized Edited January 20, 2011 by sirsubsalot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirsubsalot 0 Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I did a catch and release of a PBDAD that was astounding. I don't even know how to get in touch with him but his stuff rocks. I actually am planning on being the first person to make a GEN replica of a REPLICA gen, I loved it so much =) The only problem is gilt dials which cost A FORTUNE for gen Edited January 20, 2011 by sirsubsalot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirsubsalot 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Wow, that is some pretty hardcore slamming. I thought it looked as good as actual genuine vintage subs I considered purchasing, and had a nicely aged gilt dial. It was the best looking vintage sub I had seen on RWI. To each his own... I have never met the guy but the watch was beautiful. If you have any suggestions for someone else to do vintage work, I would love to hear it. I did a catch and release of a PBDAD that was astounding.

Anybody who sells a 21J-based so-called "vintage" for $800 is ripping people off. If he was a member here, I'd ban him so fast he'd leave skidmarks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
