Bob is a regular at the SCTF and Seiko forum. He is a great guy and I have bought two watches (I think--it's bee a while!) from him.

The Seiko Boards are vilontly anti rep--yet a lot of us here got our start over there ! :lol:


Not sure how he'd feel about reps--but that Rolex Sub looks like a rep to me? Anyone else want to chime in on that one?

Did a little more research! The GEN Pro Hunter Rolex! 100 of each made by an aftermarket dealer...

CALLING ALL REP MANUFACTURERS!!! Add a "Pro Hunter" dial, PVD, and Fixed Lugs to the Noobmariner!!!

very interesting... does anyone have a link to a reliable source that explains these rare submariners? These would have to be very rare and made in small numbers... and were they made by the rolex factory? or customized afterward and sent to the military?

Well, apparently real teflon coated 5513 Submariners were made for the South African Special forces during the late 70's early 80's. They had no special military markings inside or outside the caseback. It also had spring bars, a matte dial with smaller than normal indeces. Supposedly very few were made so it has to be the rarest Submariner variant around. It was a dark grey in color and it's been said that the case felt like that of a reptile. Bamford and Sons in Great Britain makes a version with it's own logo. They use a 5513 as the base watch, however they use a pvd coating rather than the original teflon.

I noticed that too. Also the rehaut is too shallow and the crown has the rounded edges on the knurling that some rep sub crowns are known for.

 

[tacid blue]

Think this was a picture from TTK, liked it but they were gone before I could get one. Seems like it has a Asian 21J in it.

LMFAO.........biggest flaw on this guys rep? How about the blue still on the crown. Why don't you take that off?
