OK........everything's going to be all right.........
THE GOAT'S IN 'DA HOUSE!!
Welcome, there Monkey. Just don't get no crazy ideas about who runs the barnyard around here! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously, we got a great bunch of people and dealers here. Pugwash is right, the black sub is the most common/easily sourced rep out there. As you'll find, there IS no answer to "who has the best sub?. That question is a running joke amongst the rep boards and is about as easy to answer as "what is the meaning of life?" There are so many variables that seem to change almost daily. One day the CG's will look great, but the dial is wrong. Next day, the dial has been corrected but the case now has lug holes. Then they fix the lugholes and stick maxi-hands on it..........welcome to the world of reps!
Best bet (especially for new collectors) is to contact one of our dealers and simply ASK them which one they have is the closest to gen. A lot of dealers (Josh - jos_nana comes to mind) will be glad to answer your questions, as most of our dealers will.
Just remember, stay AWAY.......FAR AWAY from the likes of Idealwatches, GoReplicas, and other slick-looking rep sites. If you see claims such as "100% swiss-made", "27-jewel movement", "only a jeweler can tell the difference", or they want $500.00 or more for a sub, RUN!!!!!
If you get confused, just ask us.
