Multijfj 2 Posted May 7, 2013 Hello All - I have been a very long-time reader and not much of a poster. I purchased a rep a few years ago without doing ANY research, and it was terrible. So this time I did a little bit and ordered one from Joshua at Perfect Clones. I didn't even realise that you get pictures of the watch before he sends it etc, it was great. Arrived in about a 10 day turn around which was pleasently surprising! I have no idea how it compares to other reps, all I know is feels good and looks nice. I had the chance to compare it to a rep for all of about 30 seconds on the Saturday just gone, but after a few wines they both looked similar ( I am quite sure there would have been some clear differences but after the wines it is hard to tell!) Anyway, here are a couple of pics I just took so see what everyone thinks! If there are better ones out there I would love to get hold of one. Positives - Great build quality seems robust and weighty Nice movement on the hands Date looks ok Bezel movement is solid Negatives - The lume on the dials isn't great at all, I need to be in the sun all day for about 4 hours lume at night really. Loses a good 1-2 minutes a day really, could do with some adjustment which I am researching now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1959LesPaul 0 Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Looks good. I had a entry level noob factory Sub C from MR I purchased a few months ago and just sold. This looks like the BP factory version which looks more correct IMO. The lume on my noob factory was pretty bad too. I just bought a superlumed Explorer II from Josh and the lume is fantastic. Was your Sub supposed to be superlume? http://www.p-cls.com...er-p-13284.html Edited May 7, 2013 by 1959LesPaul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Multijfj 2 Posted May 7, 2013 I think it Looks good. I had a entry level noob factory Sub C from MR I purchased a few months ago and just sold. This looks like the BP factory version which looks more correct IMO. The lume on my noob factory was pretty bad too. I just bought a superlumed Explorer II from Josh and the lume is fantastic. Was your Sub supposed to be superlume? http://www.p-cls.com...er-p-13284.html I have just read the watch listing again, and it was meant to be superlume yes! It seems a shame really as thats the only downside, and the time loss of course ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vamu4u 0 Posted May 7, 2013 does this have the AR coating on the mag date? I believe that is on the new gens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libertatia 0 Posted May 7, 2013 Apart from the lume being applied a tiny bit uneven at 12 and 5, and 6 being a tiny bit wonkey, you got a very very good quality watch. Especially as you didn't even see the QC's. Quality is something which isn't entirely consistant with reps, you got lucky here. must be a good sign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heisenberg 0 Posted May 13, 2013 It always amazes me when people take pictures of this watch covering the "officiallycertified" flaw with the minutes hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Multijfj 2 Posted May 15, 2013 It always amazes me when people take pictures of this watch covering the "officiallycertified" flaw with the minutes hand. What flaw do you mean? I haven't done this intentionally, I'll upload another of the watch without the hand there ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted May 15, 2013 Nice, Don't go looking for flaws or tells as they will only be noticed by the experienced eyes here on the forum and 99.9% of anyone ever likely to look at it won't know the difference. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't done this intentionally, I'll upload another of the watch without the hand there ! Not suggesting you did anything wrong just that all pics I see of a BP sub always cover the flaw. I'm not even saying the flaw is anything to worry about either. I have the same watch on its way to me and I'm not bothered by the flaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
