It seems some of the lower end rep factories like U1 have stepped up to the new SUBMARINER 116610 LV 41mm size. Why haven't the high end rep factories done this? They still only offer 40mm.

Because there isn't a new 41mm 116610LV .The 116610 (40mm 3135) submariner has been replaced by the 126610 (41mm 3235) submariner.The HULK has been discontinued completely and replaced by the new KERMIT ( black dial ) 126610 LV .

YUP that is what i said . The genuine ROLEX HULK ( 116610LV) has been discontinued completely .It is no longer part of the line up .Infact the whole 116610 (LV,LN,LB) 114060 ( no date) 40mm maxi case Rollies have been replaced by the 41mm 12's (3235) .If you want a NEW genuine watch with a green bezel you will have to buy the new 126610LV the new kermit with a black dial . YOU CAN STILL BUY A FAKE 116610LV HULK ( green dial , 3135 ) though , there are number made/ still made by replica factories . If you get hold of one of one TD/ M2M go for a VSF .

Thank you, I will try to locate one I know several of factories are down and many TD's don't them.

It seems the lower end reps are more available is there anywhere I could get guidance as to decent quality of any of those such as U1factory or BPfactory.

This list is very old and was never really updated.
Is there an updated version or similar list out there?
I feel like it's so hard to navigate the rep world with all its factories without spending hours digging deep into threads with hundreds of pages.

Thats the game.

Even with the "super rep list" I recommend you to inform yourself before you buy.

Every rep has its flaws and benefits. So figure out what you like and what not, with which you can live and with what not is something only you can decide.
For this decision it's good be informed. So you can make the decision for yourself and not based on the opinions from others.

Sorry, probably a newbie question but I'm looking at an Omega rep made by OXF - is this likely to be the same factory as XF?

Maybe Joe gots some leftover.


Seriously: Ask TD when you already have specifics like that. Send for example Li (JTIME) a whatsapp and he will help you.
Attention: Dont google for TD sites, sometimes they are copied by a scammer.

JayBee0815 Making a CORRECTION to my statement earlier to Jay. I will keep names anonymous as I also give benefit of doubt because they were probably also miss informed. But a TD said they were able to source NOOB Daytona from wholesaler and that the one I wanted was available. So I pulled a $1,200 trigger and after waiting a week for QC they came back and said it wasn’t available. I asked what models of NOOB the wholesaler had and the TD came back next day with “they’re all out”.
So… this is just a public service announcement 1. To correct my own statement. 2. Advise you to think about it
carefully before sending money for a NOOB. You will always be able to get your money back or switch so If you have back up watches you want and can easily switch your order, go ahead.
myself… I really wanted a NOOB specifically and now im
it sure what watch I want to change order to
