JaredMcD 0 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Hello all. I just joined the forum a couple days ago. I have been lurking in preparation for my purchase. I sold my Tudor Submariner about 6 months ago and have missed it ever since. I didn't want to spend the thousands of dollars again and decided to search for a (some) quality reps. I pulled the trigger on a watch from Andrew at Trusty Time. http://www.ttw888.co...roducts_id=9957 Since this watch is similar to my old Tudor Submariner I thought it would be a good place to start, although the Sea Dweller as well as the Green LV was calling my name. Andrew was amazing. Super responsive and answered all my questions. I was able to pay with PayPal which was awesome, however the process was a little strange. I hope the watch is as nice as advertised, if so I see a few more purchases in my future. Jared Edited June 23, 2013 by JaredMcD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaredMcD 0 Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks guys. I do have pics of my old Tudor. It was a great watch. Since I don't think I can post photos yet, here is a link to a shared dropbox folder. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6q2bz3wkdauyb31/hFbGfURtXK I already have a few watches picked out that I want to purchase next. I will make sure and post photos of the watch and a review of my experience with TT. Hopefully the shipping will be fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonbolivar 1 Posted June 23, 2013 Welcome! I had a gen Tudor over twenty years ago, and is still in the family. Love the brand and it was my entry into gen Rolex, which led to my love for GMT's, Subs, Sea-Dwellers. The Rep quality out there is very impressive... Just do your homework and build relationships with our TD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaredMcD 0 Posted June 28, 2013 So my watch arrived today. Shipped on the 24th and arrived on the 27th. Pretty fast shipping. The watch is amazing. I mean, it looks fantastic, everything about it. I cant believe this is a rep. I am VERY impressed. I purchased the 2813-2 movement. The only thing I can say is that the movement is a little choppy, a little loud and I can hear the winding mechanism inside when I move my wrist, which is no fault of TT. I really wish I would have purchased the Asian ETA clone. If these 2813-2 movements die can I replace it? Could I replace it with a better quality movement? I tried to take some pics but the lighting was awful. I will try to get some posted soon. Anyway. I can highly recommend the ROLSUB086B from TT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
