The Submariner is my first rep. What is the estimated lifetime of such a watch? I have a 25 years old datejudt and a 12 year old Navitimer, both work like a charm, only serviced but no spareparts like hands, dial or something like that. How long will the rep survive?

guy i need some advice for gen xtal now i have gen b25-295-c12-c1 with 2 gasket
i have planned to install it on arf 116610ln 2824
should i use ARF gasket or gen
some say that if you want to improve water resistant should use gen but i also found some that say gen gasket not fit for ARF model
Another question is my watch smith mention that i have to make sure that i use the right xtal dimension because if it not the right one xtal might crack during pressing process
am not sure he have experience with fake watch before he told me that changing process have to open case back and remove the movement then can replace xtal could you guy confirm that this process right or not?

I love this watch except the wonky cyclops.
I have a prof xtal To fix that.
I also have a TC DW and a Gen 3135 to go in, although this versions DW is not bad at all.
which one we use is depending on if the watch smith can mod the 3135 to make it an overlay.
We shall See in January
Merry Xmas people

One of the best bits about this watch, is they nailed the curve of the hands.

Wound up buying my rep from a friendly guy on another site. Really happy with it! No flaws from what I can tell and he already had a watchsmith align the hands to the date turns at the right time (30 seconds after midnight is close enough).
My only issue is the the crown is really finnicky about the exact place it needs to be to change the time.

Need help with the bezel indices issue.
Hey guys, so I know there were few posts about the Platinum paint on the bezel but recently, I found a few problems with it and hope u guys can help with:
1. Under low light outdoor/ a bit of sunlight, the indices seem a bit darker (silver/ grey) instead of white/ grey
2. I thought there were some oil residue dropped on one of the bezel indices but it appears to have a black spot on it. I tried using a bit of soap and cotton to wipe it off but appears the spot is getting more apparent....
I will post the photos later on but hope any of the experts here could help with it. Much appreciated.

How long do you have it? Are you sure it happened afterwards ? check your QC pics
It was after QC, and QC pic was too bright so it won't be noticeable from the QC pic. I think the dark spot was found after I got home from a restaurant. Could be oil but what I was afraid was the marking starting to turn grey/ dark like the noob v7.
Also, would be wondering if there are any watch maker who would service reps in shenzhen/ Hong Kong where I am based at this moment.
Much appreciated!
Besides, the more I look from internet, many pics are with bright indices, could be filtering or tuning but just wanna be sure if the color is right.

color is fine for me, the fading is what worries me
You can always order a cerameister or spongebob insert to replace if it bothers you

I was just reading around as usual, I had the ARF 2824 and agree that it was outstanding but I sold it due to the crown height and my OCD. I now have the new sh3135 that in my opinion has quite a few flaws. Does anyone know if someone here could do that crown tube grinding business? If I knew I could I would probably sell the 3135 and buy another 2824 and have that work done.
