Hello everyone,
big Rolex enthusiast from Germany who wanted to get a Submariner for his graduation, but was laughed at by the Rolex dealer. Now I'm on the dark side. 😊
I'm looking forward to the exchange, even if the amount of information is currently a bit overwhelming.
I know that the enquiry has probably been made 1000 times, but I'll try anyway. If anyone has had positive experiences with buying the Submariner No Date, which the consensus opinion is that it is a super-rep, I would be happy to receive a few tips on where and from whom I can get the best version currently available without major problems with customs. I look forward to the exchange.

Welcome to RWI
After about half an hour in the Rolex section, you should have enough information about the strengths and weaknesses of the various replicas. In the m2m sales area you will find the right model if you don't want to spend another half hour choosing the right TD and familiarizing yourself with the process.

What's the best sub?

That's a running joke here I learnt quickly.

Take a look at Clean and VSF. Both have no dates which are said to be the best around. VSF has the better movement and is supposed to have the better xtal. Clean is supposed to have the better case and bracelet. Ctime offers a Clean sub no date with DD3130 movement which basically the same as VSF.

I personally prefer VSF because the have the right font in the rehaut. Although I know noone will notice, I can't unsee it.

Welcome @mebetteryou ,

For the Gen No Date, you should have no problem finding one at a price close to list price.

In Germany I saw several well-stocked and very kind retailers...

For the Rep, I think you are in the right place to find the best info.

Good luck and congrats for your graduation!

I have been on the waiting list for a starbucks for over two years at several ADs, if there is a waiting list... I haven't been able to buy the Sub no date from any dealer yet. I won't pay over list price for a watch on the gray market on principle.
Thanks, have graduated over 4 monts ago, but its not too late for a nice gift. :)

the right font in the rehaut. Although I know noone will notice, I can't unsee it.

the rehaut, font and letters radom compared to the indexes also puts me in crisis on many models...my eyes would always go there.
