What type of Sub is this?

[AussieWatcher]

Hi All,

I was given this as a gift last Christmas and as I learn more about the rep community I realise it needs a lot of work to it! I'm looking to source a better dial and possibly a better bezel but I first need to know what factory it is possibly from and the movement please. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That’s a cheap rep. Looks like an asian DG2813 movement running at 21600bph. A screw of one movement clamp is missing. Maybe fallen into the movement?

My advice: Don’t waste your money. Go and get for example a VRF MAX Sub Hulk for about 350$ and just enjoy it.

But if you really want to work on this watch: Check out raffles dials for relatively cheap but decent parts.

And the bay for a decent green bezel insert:

Thanks Smpfan! It does seem very cheap. The watch was fine at first but the store I bought it from in Bali said they would clean a bit of hair off the dial for me and stuffed up the date wheel as well as the dial was very loose.. The screw that is missing i took off because they clearly stuffed it up and used a cheap screw that didn't even fit.

Might sell it for cheap or use it for practice repairs.

Thanks!

The watch whilst maybe not a good rep still has a lot of meaning because of who gave it to me. I can't see myself wearing it much but I don't think it will be going in the trash.

Mate, when I was living back home I used to travel to Bali atleast 4 times a year...anything you buy there even from shops like Bagus are cheap DHGate level stuff...

Yeah I was a complete noob when I travelled to Bali. Learning a lot more now. I did actually manage to find a hidden shop in Seminyak that had some awesome reps.. The Daytonas had working chronos and the IWC's where the super reps.

Bagus had some nice things but I will only by RWI TD now..
