As far as i know trailboss started a a thread on finding out who has the best Rolex sub and Watcheden has one of the best rep.

Um, that was two years ago and was certainly not this model. I have NFI WTF that is but it 'taint no noob. Please tell me it was very very cheap.

It was like $108 for the watch alone....Would you consider it cheap? Someone told me that the watch should only cost $40? The more I read about you guys comment the more I wanna cry:cry:

Trailboss and Sub4me, this is not the TD fault.

WE has so many watches, they probably sent the one he chose. They are not in a position to say "Hey mate, we can source that POS sub but we have a nicer one from noob factory for same price" - just not something any of the dealers do really. We do our homework, pick the watch and hope its like the pic. Now if he saw the noob and ordered it and got this, then yes that is a problem.

To the OP, someone will buy it with all the flaws if the price is right, so no worries there bud

Yes, that is very true. What I initially wanted to do was post the QC pic here and asked for opinions because I haven't been around long enough to know what I am getting. However, I also understand that QC pic is not meant to be posted here to nit pick on the small flaws because it will be unfair to the TD. So, with my research (which probably is not enough) I went ahead with confidence that I got a nice sub.. obviously the feedback about the watch I got here proves otherwise :facepalm:...would it do justice if I post the QC pic as well as the pic from the TD's website so you can judge if it was my mistake or the TD's? As long as I don't make things hard for everyone. Thank you all for the feedback so far.

Please post a link to the watch you tried to order just so we can be sure they didn't send you the wrong watch. I once bought one of those from a scam site before I found the forums and it was close to $100. I learned quickly though and then bought a Noob Sub-C for $400 from another scam site...WTF!!! Granted, that turned out to be once of the best noob SubCs I've seen to date but it was still way overpriced.

I've since found this community and have settled into building my own frankens with huge price tags. We all make mistakes, it's how we learn! Don't feel too bad, just save up to buy something better and use this one to take apart and see how it works!

That's just one terrible rep! It has 16610's bracelet and clasp, bezel insert that looks like a 16610's but resembles the insert from a 116610 but without the ceramic shine. The CG is shaped like 116610's. Rehaut engraving is misaligned. Date and mag is just terrible. It's basically a messed up mix of 16610 and 116610 where none of the combined parts are any good.

this is the link to the exact model I ordered http://www.watcheden.biz/rolex-subm...ic-with-black-dial-and-bezel-i-11670-p-1.html

As i looked at the pic I noticed that the bezel is of different material compared to the pic? and the bracelet is brushed in the pic, but mine is kind of shiny.....

WE have a little email . . .

I have since received a PM from WE and we are trying to sort things out. Thanks a gazillion TB for helping out a noob! Will keep you guys posted about the outcome. Thank you everyone for chipping in some inputs!:)

What?? I have to strongly disagree with you here bro. This is totally WEs fault and I do NOT by any means consider this a mistake. This is take the customers funds and send the customer the cheapest junk they have.

Here is the link to the watch he bought http://www.watcheden.biz/rolex-subm...ic-with-black-dial-and-bezel-i-11670-p-1.html

Look at the pics and read their description. What a F'ing joke. WE ripped this guy off and should be ashamed of themselves for this. The watch he got does not math their description of their watch by any stretch.

Don't think for a second WE would be doing anyhing if TB hadn't stepped in. TB made this right NOT WE on their own.

I agree with sub, what he got doesn't come close to matching what they're showing. Definitely not this- "The Pictures you see are of actually taken at the Studio of ******.biz, You will get exactly what you see in our Pictures". We all know that's how it goes with anyone though, which is why some dealers agreed to do qc pics in the fist place.

I have a really hard time accepting that a trusted dealer would sell such crap and for such a steep price... What do we think it costs to produce that thing, $4?

Hi everyone,

So I'm going to exchange the watch with a new one. Problem is I'm not sure of what to pick. Here are some I have been thinking of. Would you guys be able to put in your two cents? I like the sub look, and Im going for the stainless steel strap. If you guys have any other suggestions I will really appreciate it. Here is the list
