Luthier 1 Posted December 12, 2008 Chinese made it, now Rolex's turn. This rep. Sub has black ceramic case, bezel and bracelet. Looks interesting, and I really like glass display back. Here's pictures: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost fell for that one dave. $100 for his lame ass PVD Beginmariner. Looked like black spray paint! In his defense the watches I did buy from him, or whoever he got them from run very strong. It's a shame he went nuts on us. I really did like him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 12, 2008 It looks like a Rolex and Chanel got drunk and slept together, and this popped out 9 months later. The dial looks like an old "Bond" Sub, except for the hour markers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrillseeker 0 Posted December 12, 2008 That watch just doesnt do it for me. The bezel insert can be replaced, but the dial with all that missing text is pretty sad....and so is the presidential bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaras 0 Posted December 13, 2008 I actually like it, but I think it would be better with a better dial and an engraved or sandwich ceramic bezel insert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 13, 2008 Fakey will make you a crayolamariner like that for a hundred bucks or so,he needs the dough. $100 for CERAMIC CASE? C'mon, Dave... All you'll get for $100 is PAINTED crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 13, 2008 I actually like it, but I think it would be better with a better dial and an engraved or sandwich ceramic bezel insert. Dial can be replaced by dealer, bezel too. Big freaking deal... Actually, I like this dial. Not overloaded with text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted December 13, 2008 As well as the missing wording the "Swiss Made" should be under the 6 marker, not either side. The bezel is lousey. The scalops run into the insert and some are even trunkated. Funny little pearl too. There's somthing not quite right whith either the crystal or the rehaught as well. Why does every body think ceramic is expensive? It's not, in China anyway. They make tons of ceramic items I have ceramic ellements in large foggers that prob have as much in them as two watches, these cost me $60AU to replace at the AU distributer. A Rado ceramic is 100 to 130 USD. Still, nice watch. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's absolutely new design, more sophisticated than gen. Sub. So, it's not exact copy, it's just a different beast. And I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 13, 2008 And I like it. Since you bought it and are the one who will wear it, that's all that matters. (Just don't wear it into a Rolex dealer. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rc42 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Looks like something that Invicta would dream up :o Seriously though, this is a love it or hate it watch, I fall into the latter group but if you like the way it looks and feels then wear it with pride. Having said that, I'd still rather wear that Rolex than any Panerai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't buy this black Sub, I do not collect fantasy watches anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
