Most reliable Rolex submariner 16610?

[c2ute]

I purchased the RWI PROMOTION rolex sub 16610 from Timeshop back in may.
I loved the watch but it's already broken. $220 down the drain.

this is was the watch i purchased. the movement is 3135.

Where can i find another 16610 with similar price but better reliablity?

what's the difference between what i purchased to this one??

what is it thats broken? maybe just a service or minor fix would do the trick.

i can't wind the watch anymore. the watch rotor is competely broken. it feel like the rotor is not connected to the rest of the watch. it just spins without generating any movements.

i'm pretty sure this watch is done.

... very sorry for your loss. Sometimes there are unpleasant lessons learned with the rep trade. You'd be better off with sticking with the Asian clone 2836-2 movements; or, if the price is too high, get the Noobmariner with the A21j movement for about$40 -$45. I have this one, and it's proven to be rugged and a reliable timekeeper. In the future, warn other noobs to stay way from the clone 3135 movements. According to the more experienced veterans here, they're not very reliable. Just my .02.

that's what i thought about 3135 movements as well. the rest of my 2836-2 works fine.

This is the best time to bite the bullet and buy a brand new swiss eta from ofrei and get it in and its good for years for sure.

I have a noob from Narikaa. It's about 100$ and absolutely reliable.
It's more money than the one from TS but is has the better movement and
better bracelet.

Agreed my clone 3135 was DOA and never recovered. My thought is, it's worth buying the El Cheapo first to make sure you wanna wear it, THEN drop the cash for the better movement etc....but if you just buy the better watch first and don't like it you can always flip it in the member sales section...that's MY .02
