SonofRojBlake 0 Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) First try at a review: I have been trying for years now to get a good quality rep of the 116613 Sub, or even the older 16613 - blue dial, two tone strap, a beautiful watch. http://www.ginault.com/en/images/rolex-submariner/rolex-submariner-116613/rolex-submariner-116613-01.jpg I've been generally dissatisfied with the reps I've been able to get hold of, so I thought of looking for a homage watch instead. I found this: http://www.amazon.co...paris+blue+dial The downside is it's not as heavy and chunky as even a rep, and has a 3600bph quartz movement rather than a 28800bph automatic, and... that's all. It's properly waterproof, keeps accurate time, looks great and even factoring in the tax I had to pay to get it from the Post Office and the cost of removing links and adjusting the strap (I'm a big bloke, are these things supplied to be worn around the thigh, or what?) it's a good deal cheaper than a decent rep. Some photos (assuming the links work...) https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink Edited November 6, 2012 by SonofRojBlake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted November 6, 2012 Nice review. Seems like Silex has the Rep version with 21J for about the same price. http://www.silix-prime.co/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_205_214&products_id=1784 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonofRojBlake 0 Posted November 6, 2012 They've apparently got a very nice high quality version for a bit more. I've ordered one, but can't find how to pay them. They apparently take Paypal, but don't give any clues as to how to actually complete the transaction. Why, in this day and age, does it need to be so difficult?

Member X 91 Posted November 6, 2012 You probably just need to email them, their email address should be in the Trusted Dealers section. Don't forget, it is not like shopping on amazon - you are purchasing illegal items Whatever you do, make sure you don't mention replicas or watches or include any information whatsoever in the payment reference unless asked to include a specific reference by the Trusted Dealer.
