Bad start to my day - Rolex Sub

Recommended Posts

streethawk

So I have a TC Sub with 2813.

 

This morning I was getting ready to wear it and setting the date with the crown pulled out once, it moved a couple of dates then suddenly the crown stopped engaging the date wheel.

 

Now I cant change the date without pulling the crown out twice to the time setting mode and moving the time 100 times!!!

 

how do I fix this? I love my watch :(

Def. sucks. BTW...TC doesn't put 2813's in his subs. Only clone eta's I believe.

TC don't put Z2 movements in his watches. Why has your TC sub got a POS Clone movement in it anyway? The date function is one of its shortcomings, well documented.

This^^^^^ If it came from Thomas there's no way its a POS 2813. Either clone or PO fucked something up.

The my only grip with reps one day the movement could just pack up or not function as yours has, for the price compared to gen tho i suppose its a risk wrth taking

 

Hope its an easy fix for you mate

Thats a Ceramic sub for a start, and Thomas currently does not make this model, but I believe he may at some point.

 

How much did you pay? Looks like a BP sub, or possibly a Noob.

Could you show us the M2M thread from the seller?

I did not pay much, my first contact with the seller was pleasant and I don't want to link the seller at this time.

 

Can you highlight how a ceramic sub is different from a regular sub, what are the tell tale signs that you are using to identify that this is a BP or noob? just so I know what to look for next time. Help much appreciated.

TC does the earlier version of the Rolex sub. Metal insert, smaller CG's, no rehault engraving among many other differences. You can search BP vs. Noob sub and will find many threads with many comparisons, pro's, and cons.

Ok now I am having some communication difficulties with the seller.

 

Do I have the right to request a refund if I was sold the watch as a TC and it turns out that the sellers claim is false?

The insert is ceramic, and the crown guards are completely different not to mention the dial too, oh, and bracelet.

Like buying from a TD, it's not yet the time to go public with full details. Since Del is now offering to get involved, can I suggest that we leave the OP and Del to sort it out in the time honoured fashion. We can then look forward to a full update, when Del is happy that nothing more can or needs to be done.
