Ciao a tutti ragazzi,
sono novello del forum e vorrei acquistare la mia prima replica, devo essere sincero ero partito col Daytona ma poi ho pensato di partire col Sub.

Ho letto moltissimi post italiani e in lingua inglese ma come sappiamo quando le informazioni sono in quantità così massiccia si rischia di fare confusione, vorrei scegliere tra i modelli che linko di seguito:

ARF https://puretime.io/submariner-1166...edition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-sh3135.html

VRF https://puretime.io/submariner-1166...l-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-vr3135.html

DJF https://puretime.io/submariner-1166...l-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-sa3135.html

Noob v9 https://puretime.io/submariner-1166...ition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-a2836-v9.html

Fatemi sapere voi esperti o possessori il vostro giudizio o un'analisi veloce pregi/difetti.

P.S. io ho elencato i modelli di puretime, ho visionato anche intime mi sembra che siano gli stessi e con prezzi allineati, se avete esperienze anche con questi venditori ben vengano anche i vostri consigli.

Un caro saluto a tutti.

Ciao secondo me ARF SH3135 è il migliore. Unica pecca visibile è il datario.

Nearer than you think
Riferisco quello che ha scritto un moderatore nella sezione internazionale per quanto riguarda il sub VRF LV:

DO NOT GET THE VRF 116610LV 3135!

I just got it today. Broke it down. Pics to follow.

I will explain real quick. Date doesn't flip completely. It flips half way and then when the stud goes past the teeth it flips completely which is around 3 am. The movement is dirty and in massive need of oiling.

The movement does have a few upgrades. The date plate is thicker so a real date wheel fits. The rep date wheel is passable. The reversing wheels are exactly like real ones but they fail to put the jewel for the main reversing bridge pinion. Date change mech. looks correct but doesnt work. I am going to order the real parts and see if that solves it. The balance shock is identical to a rolex which is cool. Balance spring is painted blue to look like parachrom. So there are improvements but not worth it right now.

Here is more bad news. The SEL SUCKS. I tried a noob band and an ARF band and they do not fit. I can trim them to make them fit but why? I am going to play around with spring bars later to see if I can make this work.

I do like the case. It is nice. 3135 fits perfect.

smoke I did press in a noob crystal ring with a real crystal and put the noob LN bezel and it worked fine.

The LV colors are completely off. DO NOT ORDER IT. You will feel like a fool if you are next to someone with the real one. I will post pics.

The cool thing is the click springs. They went to Rolex style. LOL. The balls are soldered to the spring except the locking click..

Let see what else......

The crystal was ok. The Bezel color is not good. The dial is way to sunburst and the wrong color green most of the time.

Oh one other thing. The crown has the hex so it looks like it is a rolex crown when there is no way. So now fake 704's are going to be extremely hard to tell as a fake!

So the good....
Better reversing wheels
Better date plate
Better balance shock
Better finish on movement.
Better datewheel
Better crown.
Nice click springs.
OK crystal.

The bad.....
Case doesnt take real or other bracelets. I am sure sending it to Jon or a case guy will fix this.
Color of dial is way off and doesn't reflect as a Rolex dial does.
Color of bezel and platinum is not correct.


The big reason I am saying not to get this is just the fact that I got the LV and compared it to my real LV. Also the date flipping, which should had been fixed with the upgrade fails worst than the SH which at least worked but one has to wait till 3-4 to manually quickset. While on this one you can quickset anytime but the mech isn't strong enough to flip the sate more than about 1/3 of the number.

Also the Amp was very low. About 240ish. It could be due to being dirty and improperly lubricated. Pics to follow.
