I think one of the reasons they will never be a popular rep is the lack of gen parts available to mod. I have a sub-c on its way to me and have been looking at ways to franken it but there is nothing to be found. I can buy gen parts for 16610 all day long. :wyliehelp:
i saw a gen ceramic insert on the bay last week,i didn't mention it as it was for the tt ceramic sub,300 pound it was,and nobody seems to want them,also london boy has gen ar crystals for sale all the time for 145pounds,gen crown fits on rep ceramic sub after mods.so then need gen dial and hands but they wont fit ,so yukki is needed.but i still am hoping one day soon we will get a true super rep of sub c lv and ln

Yes, please make these changes

The noob V2 sub-C is very close to being a super rep. Now they have nailed the pearl, the hand set, the case set and the bracelet. All they need to finish up is getting a better AR cyclops on the crystal and a new ceramic insert. I believe Angus said over on RG that a new insert could be a month or two away from being ready.

This would be great. Especially the insert for no date.

I've heard that two months ago...So I don't think we're going to see an updated insert soon.

By the way, anyone know if a BP insert fit a Noob V2 Sub ?

the old style subs are dead,they don't make them anymore,so why don't tc start his search for the best sub c or someone else,yes the oldskool subs are nice but don't look as good as the new sub imo.rant finished

Well let's see, the the 16610 came out right around 1990 (1989 if memory serves, but don't quote me on it) and the first really excellent reps of it were produced around... 2009 or so. So we should have a gen-construction sub C in about 30 years.

Seriously, you're "ranting" because someone hasn't started his search for the exact fake product you want? How about being grateful that reps are as good as they are? How about trying to contribute to these communities by experimenting or sharing knowledge so that better watches can be built?

Waiting 30 years.... haha.

Go easy on Live1. He's just a bit more OCD than the rest of us and I've seen him contribute in other threads.:cheers:

Dude Daytonas are awesome the problem is the movement. They need to clone the movement or find an alternative to a 7750 @6

Lol. Yeah I know.

I was just trying to pull live1's leg. I think with the sub c and daytona gen is the only way. Even if the movement didn't die all the time on the daytona it is just the wrong size.

Should have bought Mitch's one with the gen bezel.

The Rolex Submariner was originally built as tool watches and should have stayed that way. They're not intended to be bling on the wrists of rappers and other ostentatious wannabes with bad taste. They started to go down hill with the insertion of that ugly ROLEXROLEXROLEX rehaut and have continued downhill ever since.

:lol:
