O*HIT!
Is this the famed 'e-bay' seller??
Looking at the bezel in the first 30 seconds of shot is interesting. I would agree that it is possibly not a ceramic bezel but there are a few points to note.
* The bezel numbering looks sharp, recessed and very similar to my other C subs
* The reflections on the bezel as he turns it arn't as sharp as the C subs and seems to diffuse the light
* The bezel colour is very nice
* Correct brushed mid-link bracelet
* Correct smaller hour hand / larger minute hand combo
* Correct 'Swiss Made'
Unfortunately as I'm on a work PC I can't do any screen grabs of the HD video so unless someone else does it before I do, I will do it as soon as I can and add it to the original post.
In the mean time I'm going to email him and ask some questions.

its the youtube seller - rsh and i have bought that old style sub from him - and i would not hesitate from buying him again!
If you watch it in full screen mode you can see that it's a ceramic bezel insert.
I think it's about time for me to pick something to review- something other than these dumb ol' DSSD's! I've had about as much as I can take reviewing them...
Great work bonsey! You got me wanting one of these. Do you think our trusted dealer network can get these new ceramic ones like the Youtube seller?? I think it has the best bezel /pearl I have seen on a rep.
I'm not sure mate. It's worth asking about though, especially if you are wary of dealing with a non-TD. All the offerings that i've seen from him however are slightly different from any of the TD offerings so far.
I think i must have watched that clip about 40 times so far and i must say it is by far the best looking and most color accurate ceramic LV i have seen.
The dial may have just a tad too much sunburst effect, but that might also be the lighting.
I have inquired about some watches from this seller a while ago, and as many have said that they dealt with him and everything was fine, theres just something about him thats not right, for 1, his prices were different from what he quoted me to what others said they paid.. so either hes not very organized or he just makes prices as he feels. he did the same thing with this model, he told 1 member from this forum that its 329$ and another one 340$. i just emailed him and we'll see what he quotes me. I'm guessing in the 350's as hes probably getting alot of requests for this watch right now.

If you're referring to me, I just re-checked the email he had sent me, and I realize I made a mistake, sorry... it was $320+ shipping. This is a copy/paste of the email just to clarify:
hello, the green dial submariner is USD320 + shipping.

...........$340....:thinking:
Isn't he a member here? He's probably watching the thread.
Regardless, nice watch. Little wary of the Swiss 2836 though.
