Ska 11 Posted August 11, 2010 Thanks Pollux! And rsh - love that second photo, sweet shots man! Who did you get your Sub from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solkryssare 109 Posted August 11, 2010 Thank you so much for taking the time to do this ska. I wasnt all that fired up about the new subs when they came out, but Im warmlng up to this one in a big way. You said the gen weighs in at 135g. Are you sure thats the case? Only reason Im asking is that I know for a fact that the gen 16610 added 135g to the total mass of our lovely little planet and I'd thought this new one would be heavier with its maxi case and solid midlinks and all?

rsh 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Mine is just a timeshops special...2836 clone. BTW mine weighs about 156g or 152, I cant remember but it is definitely aroun 150-160 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted August 11, 2010 Hey Solky - No worries - I'm just a big watch geek at heart!! You're totally right about the weight - 136g was the weight of the LV sub, I must be getting tired over here. (The review format starts out as a standardised template and the first one I did was for the LV, so stupidly I left the old weight in without realising. Duly Corrected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duly Corrected I found a post on TRF saying that his new sub was 151g with two links taken out. I really like the fact that these new subs are heavier.

Luthier 1 Posted August 12, 2010 Mary should hire you as a spokeperson. The only flaw I noticed is ROLEXRoLEX on the rehault, second "o" is smaller than first one, but who cares... Great review, Ska! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks luth! Just checked out the 'ROLEX RoLEX' and thankfully it's just an optical illusion in that photo. They're the same in real life! Well spotted though bud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrtepax 0 Posted August 15, 2010 mmmm...... green lume, wrong "swiss made" spacing.....it looks like someone put the LV dial on a ceramic black sub. too bad! Apart from this, it seems strange that Mary sold you one of those when I got from her the same model rsh showed in his reply. I paid a little more than you, but IMO my version is more wearable, just for the dial issues and despite the flaws you pointed out. From what I read in your reviews, you are a very picky guy and you know what you want, so it seems to me very weird that Mary proposed you that submariner. Have you reported her these issues? Anyway, great review as usual, I enjoy and learn a lot reading them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbjoer 0 Posted August 28, 2010 I don't think Mary can source the NOOB version that Mark sells. I asked her and she told me that she could not provide A2836 or brushed mid - links. Would be interesting to have side-by-side comparison between Mary's and Mark's versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImWatchingYOU 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Could anyone tell which is currently the best version of the submariner? And who to buy it from? SKA's definetly looks great, just wondering if there is a better one around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libertatia 0 Posted March 13, 2013 come on, even i know only 3 second markers should be marked directly under ''swiss made'' not 5..... $245 you at least expect them to have the externals correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
