dave47 6,539 Posted March 26, 2023 Hi, Gang! It's Sunday, the time I usually wear my gen ROLEX DATEJUST with Jubilee bracelet. But, every once in a while I wear something usually not worn too often, thus this rep of the ROLEX SUBMARINER 116613, Blue. It IS my favorite Submariner -- so much so wifey wanted to buy me the gen at the St. Thomas Rolex store where she bought the gen DATEJUST back in '07. I love my wife, but I knew this Submariner purchase was NOT going to occur. With the saleman's help, I tried on the '13, looked MARVELOUS on the 'ole wrist, then came the shocker: she asked the price & was told it was on sale for $12,000 dollars. The color in her face drained & wore the look I rarely see on her savvy face: shock and incomprehension. What a treat. I pulled her aside, telling her this sale is NOT going to happen. I love Rolexes, but I'm NOT paying a house's down payment for one. I have several marvellous reps I can wear instead of the gen. Heh, I never saw her with weak knees!!. Thus, a long winded intro to today's wristie: Rolex Submariner #Model 116613 NG ( I believe). No regret. dave: 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pesman 9,461 Posted March 27, 2023 Starting week with KOR Blue Autavia supposedly with Selita movement... This took some forum stick for its 'no train tracks' tell, but it remains a favourite...seems a strangely obvious thing to miss but something common to all Autavia reps... BTW...if anyone has a bracelet for one of these going spare, I'd be interested as I managed to knacker the quick-release on mine...

Pesman 9,461 Posted March 27, 2023 So that's a real one or a better rep? My £30 (including shipping) Ali Neptune arrived today ( with the wobbliest movement ever seen) and, I admit, it looks great...what a shame the hype has ruined these for the majority...have a DH Gate version inbound for comparison...Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Great pick up!Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redfire1066 11,146 Posted March 27, 2023 @Pesman . . . not sure if I would buy anymore Gen ones to complete the collection ...... genuinely too much for what they are (although the official online factory videos shows very high standards of manufacturing and QC ...... . but then they would, wouldnt they . . lol ) .. .. and I have at times found the customer service at Swatch Shops really awful and deplorable . . . ... IMHO I should have and may still go down the Rep route ... seems much better fun . .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
