The newer pics of that new sub (p3 in that thread I think) seems to show it as having a proper sunburst dial. My main problem with it is that it's an incorrect 42mm. The 40mm is a major reason I like subs... hard to find a normal sized watch sometimes these days.

Currently in Firenze, and i passed a tiny AD store. Just to illustrate the dial, i took this pic. Note that they still offer the old sub no date.

Asking price for the All green was €6,5K.

It appears both ceramic subs in the image have the small hour hand, not the fat one like the noob watches. Can you confirm this Franke?

I just poured through all kinds of gen photos comparing them to noob factory photos of ceramic subs...I dont know if I have seen this ever mentioned other than it being mention on the Ceramic LV, but it appears that all the noob ceramic sub replicas have the incorrect hour hand; Blue face, two tone, LN, LV, all of them.

I can not beleive I never noticed this before but it looks like that will be a must do mod from now on.

I can confirm it with these photos. I have not looked in to it in detail, but i´m sure the section mod has an opinion in this matter.


DL this picture, magnify it, and you will have a clear picture of a perfectly aligned rehaut.

My new S95 is fantastic!

Did some research online and contacted BK. It is a know issue it looks like, although I dont rememebr ever seeing it mentioned. So most all the new style sub reps have a fat hour hand which is incorrect. To make it accurate the hour hand needs to be replaced. i will try and get my hands on some.


I checked out the S95...its sweet!

So I got a newsletter from TrustyTime this morning, saying that they're getting a new green ceramic sub. I was hoping to come home to some posts about it, but I guess I'll start. I'll send off an email to them with some questions.

Here's what he said:

The case and bracelet will be 1:1 . Factory bought a genuine one to replicate..

There are no pics preview yet and no details on the price. But rest assured that when it launched, we will be the FIRST to launch in the entire world for this watch. =)

Stay tuned to our site for more details.

They A-L-W-A-Y-S say that :facepalm: ... but we shall see.

Maybe I should add that I will be posting some photo proof that almost all if not all Ceramic Sub cases are really GMT ceramic cases. It would appear that they did the GMT first and simply assumed the submariner was the same super case; and it ain't.

I for one would be tickled to death to find an accurate 116610 or 116613 case rep.

I don't care too much about maxi case size, but dear god, if they manage to get the colour of the bezel correct, and have a suburst dial I will buy it and get it modded to near perfection. AR cyclops, gen ETA, BK's datewheel overlay and re-lume.

I think some patience is needed on this one, hopefully they'll get it right eventually.
