Genius 281 Posted October 7, 2016 Anything about this on rwi? They dig subs more over there No keep checking but nothing in the rolex section at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 7, 2016 Fuck it I've just ordered one, price got bumped to $140 at the checkout and I'd forgotten how rapey the exchange rate is :o :o Just shy of £120 in total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great for doing that mate, any chance of a mini review when you get it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah of course didn't really want another sub to be honest Just wanted to see what it was like and share my findings with you guys... Interested to see if there is any truth in the claim they use the same parts makers as the noob subs although the claim on Josh's site is pretty ambiguous could just be the same crown and spring bar suppliers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagger 160 Posted October 7, 2016 Good spirit that! Cheers for that the clasp looks the same, but your probably right Do you have a reg mariner to compare it too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first placed an order with Toro the £ was in the 1.70s my £120 would have bought me over $200 absolutely gone to shit at the moment... But even with the shit rate these new Subs are about the same price as a Regmariner so hopefully Ive not just wasted my money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 7, 2016 Good spirit that! Cheers for that the clasp looks the same, but your probably right Do you have a reg mariner to compare it too? Not any more but had one in the past... TBH if I had really wanted to buy a cheap sub I would have just bought one from Reg as its a known quantity and pretty much works out the exact same price as this SKY-Fucker but this new one just had the intrigue value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 7, 2016 Ive had a Reg and a noob in the past although the noob was an older one and there wasnt that much difference TBH the noob pretty much just won on the bracelet (very minor) and the movement (obviously) but having not had a newer noob one I'm guessing I will know straight away if this feels like a big step up or not from the older ceramic ones I was used to... Pretty much gave up on the sub-c when I got my TC and realised I preferred the older style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lagger 160 Posted October 13, 2016 Be good if someone had a regular v7 sub for comparison too......my hulk would do but the Cyclops doesn't appear to have a blue tint because off the green dial, but it's still on offer if nobody cab spare one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 13, 2016 Has this turned up yet? Maybe.... I don't actually know as Josh doesn't send tracking,had it delivered to my office as I'm on holiday this week so hoping it's sat on my desk waiting for me when I arrive back in work Tuesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 20, 2016 Has this turned up yet? It has arrived! Happy to do the side by side if yo still up for loaning your reg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeas123456 0 Posted October 20, 2016 Has this turned up yet? It has arrived! Happy to do the side by side if yo still up for loaning your reg I ended up with a V7 instead. Whats the first feel quality like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted October 20, 2016 Actually I'm really impressed with pretty much every aspect of it the whole thing is really well put together! The only negative points are the rehaut engraving - not bad but not V7 standard And the cylops - too much AR not quite enough mag but again marginal... I dont have a Reg sub to hand to compare but there isnt a lot in it, Id say reg has a better rehaut engraving this has a better bezel insert as its more platinum grey than white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
