HHjones 0 Posted January 2, 2018 Hi everyone, i am new to the forum as I only joined the other day, have had a good browse around and looked at many people’s watches and feedback. I have looked at the trusted sellers so know where to buy was just wondering what the best submariner would be for a first buy? Also who has the best replicas for the best price. love the blue/gold but maybe a bit flashy, would love to see some pics of people’s and sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Wasn’t sure where to post. Thanks and look forward to ordering my first watch soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok thanks for the help, so I’m guessing as long as it’s from a trusted seller, should be of great quality, definitely want a sub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When buying a gen you only have to think about the different models. When buying a rep you have all the different models AND all the different versions to consider. Do you want a vintage sub, a newer sub, a ceramic sub, which movement do you want, how many flaws are you willing to accept, how much do you want to spend? When you've figured out all of that then go to the TD of your choice and make an order. But first.... read Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRANSPORTER 1 Posted January 2, 2018 Factor in the region of £350 for a top sub ( or any high end rep) yes you can get them for less my figure will be the ceiling ok, aim for a 2836 movement only because it's a high beat and thus more gen like on the sweep of the second hand, unless you go vintage in which case a 21j movement will be fine as the gen old subs ran at tha tower speed.

Ok thanks for the tips wanted to spend £300 max but may be able to go higher, there’s so many watches I want so have a feeling it may become an addiction lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
