P_Diddy 0 Posted August 25, 2009 this is a diver's watch like the Sub? hmmm very hard to rotate that size crown PD.. the top crown is for the time and the bottom crown rotates the internal bezel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted August 25, 2009 this is a diver's watch like the Sub? hmmm very hard to rotate that size crown PD.. the top crown is for the time and the bottom crown rotates the internal bezel. Both crowns are screw down, so once you set the bezel timer, you screw in the crown and are good to go. I am not a diver, so I really don't use it, I mostly like the looks and the price and the WR rating of 200m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted August 31, 2009 3 More from PWC: AP ROO Quartz for less than $70 (came on rubber instead of leather but I am happy with it) Believe it or not, the numerals also are lumed and look pretty good in the dark. Cartier XL Santos Chrono Quartz less than $60 This rep is awesome!!! Looks like a million bucks. Rolex GMT Master IIc Asian clone mvt. less than $150 Great looking rep.. I already am contacting sead to get the swiss version. So this one will be for sale soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P_Diddy 0 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) @ HD, how close do the three reps come in visually compared to gen? Edited August 31, 2009 by P_Diddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted August 31, 2009 @ HD, how close do the three reps come in visually compared to gen? I don't know. What do you think? The AP ROO is off because of the subdial positioning for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AP ROO is off because of the subdial positioning for sure. The $60 rep is really fucking close... The gen has a slightly thicker roman numerals font... and of course, the subdials are marked differently due to the differing movements.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P_Diddy 0 Posted August 31, 2009 yeah its close enough, aside from the subdial positioning. Here's the gen Cartier Cartier @ HD, how close do the three reps come in visually compared to gen?

The Tao is particularly nice... G- the Tao is nice.. it came in a pretty impressive package. The dial is excellent and the lume on all 3 hands is pretty good. Scone- I'll keep you posted on the GMT.

Member X 91 Posted September 2, 2009 That rollie looks pretty good to me - skinny GTM hand, the crown isn't massive, end links looks snug, rehaut engraving appears to line up at 9/12/3... I'm not sure on if the handstack is correct but it's a lot of watch for the money! I keep being tempted by noobmariners but I must resist, otherwise my WM9 SD won't be so special lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massimo 53 Posted September 2, 2009 My vintage Sub arrived from Lawrence. It was one of his cheapies and to be honest it shows: when the crown is screwed in it touches the bezel and the cyclops on the domed crystal was so bad you could hardly read the date. I decided the only way I'd be comfortable wearing it was without the cyclops so I got my files out and within an hour it was gone, the plastic crystal rubbing away quite easily. I finished off with some wet and dry sandpaper and then some silver polish. I've left it a bit scratched as it was starting to look quite vintage, especially where I'd caught the bezel with the sandpaper without realising. There are a couple of extra scratches on the bezel too where I was experimenting to see if I could get the crown to miss the bezel. As it is now I quite like it :-) Here's the link to the original on the website - should have taken my own photo really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
