TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Hey all! After years of having my own great watches, from Hamilton, Movado, Citizen, etc., I thought that I would bite the bullet and have one replica of my very own. I purchased a Rolex Submariner Replica from Andrew at Trusty Time. Shipping was very fast, and cleared customs quickly. Here are some photos I just took. There are by phone, (and the covering is still on) so apologies if the image quality isn't 100%. And I do need to take it somewhere and remove two links from it, so I have it stored. But either way, I am very happy with this purchase, and very much recommend TT! I'll update this with a lume shot at some point in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xebryus 0 Posted March 27, 2013 I wouldn't go somewhere to get those links removed. Just find a place nearby take sells tiny screwdrivers. Maybe a hobby store? I brand new set will cost you around the same amount for link removals. Looks good and enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skin_oi_skin 0 Posted March 27, 2013 An Eyeglass repair kit from any pharmacy will take care of those links in less than 2 minutes. And it will only cost you about 3 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Oh, okay, thanks! And removing the links are a piece of cake? Say I need two removed, just one from one side, one from the other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gyddyp 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Oh, okay, thanks! And removing the links are a piece of cake? Say I need two removed, just one from one side, one from the other? yep i'd take one from each side. it really is a two minute job (with the right screwdriver) I was a bit nervous/unsure first time.. ended up double checking via youtube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skin_oi_skin 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Just do it until it fits. One or two from a side won't make a huge difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Hey all, one quick update and question - the rolesor clasp with the crown on it popped off when I was fiddling with the links. I was able to get it back on, but curious about it being a liability in the future. Nothing to worry about? Doesn't seem to be an issue now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 But yes, 1.6 mm made it easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Ah, screw me. I got to the last part I was going to work on...the crown is stuck. :( I have no idea what to do...any advice guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawnl 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Love the look of the blue subs. It's just a toss up between that and the green bezel for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteChocolateJr 4 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Whoa! That rehaut looks like it's at a >30° angle to the dial! Edited March 27, 2013 by WhiteChocolateJr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGuyWhoSwims 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Hah if that was sarcasm it went over my head for a second. I'm not going to expect any perfection from a rep, but the rehaut doesn't look like its angled much differently from some rolexes I've seen before. For what it is, I think the rehaut looks just fine. If I wanted 100% accuracy I'd buy a real Rolex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
