New Cartel Sub cases??? Anyone bought a vintage sub recently?

[Thrasher]

@Thrasher I couldn't bear to vintage it mate... Not when it costs me over 500usd..

Your not helping!!! I was just saying that its just so pretty as is, I guess even the sapphire can pass as a T19. Gotta give HR a lot of credit, To bad his 5513 case has stubby crown guards. Will see.

:rofl: i would imagine it would look kickass if done right mate... some guys just have great skills in vintaging watches... so I wouldn't be worried if you get the right guy for the job :devil_2:

I think this is the real deal except he put on a Bond Nato. I didnt order a 5512 but I know with the 5513 you cant get a FT first dial

So a noob on RWG just posted pics of a new vintage sub he hays he got from Perfect Clones.
CGs look incredible, better than any unmodded vintage I've ever seen.

Has anyone else purchased a new vintage Submariner from the cartel recently?
If the case has changed, this is good news...but who knows, it could be a noob posting pics of a modded watch as a pisstake.

Here's what the guy on RWG has posted:

Sorry no not genuine. New Cartel. But make sure you ask for the new cartel case with improved CGs, I bought four 2813s from Sead for $119 each. 5513, 5513 369, 1665, 1680. I tried to get a 5517 but its made by different factory, thus stubby CGs.

NOT CARTEL 5517 FAIL, notice CGs only make it half way or less up side of crown

Genuine 5517 s

I haven't got pictures of 1680 red yet, I hope he gets everything shipped before CNY

As long as the meaty CGs are there they can be shaped by someone like Rolex Addict. But you cant shape whats not there.

 

[Thrasher]

Also I think there are thinner crowns and ways to counter sink crowns a little. I think I heard Athaya has some

See you got Feet first with 5512 but NO feet first available on 5513 so Yuki dial here I go unless I get a Yuki case too.. Yuki case $650 but better than Phongs/MQs for $1200

This is a new Cartel 5512.

Yup. I'm getting a yuki dial for it.

Wow, terrific post, thank you.
When you get them in please do some more. The case looks outstanding on the 5513. So to your eyes, it looks like the OP's on the bond? Hard for me to tell with the different light. But those CGs do look good.
Cheers

The OPs is a 5512 which apparently has feet first, I think it could be a legit new cartel. Maybe @mclarendude could post more pictures of his 5512 it should be same as Ops if its cartel! @aaamax

Of course, any special angles? Let me know and as soon as I get home, I'll shoot some pics!

Try and copy what OP posted in 1st post , then we will see. @mclarendude

What I'm doing with the 5513 and 6538 is building 007 watches. The 6538 from Dr. No and the 5513 from Live and let die.

I was reading a very interesting article about the Ian Fleming books and how he described the watches in the books. Read here if interested.

Anyone know if these cartels will accept a gen retaining ring?
