New V2 3135 Sub C has landed

[dbane883]

It was an impulsive purchase (aren't they all?) but ordered the recently released "super 3135" 116610 from Ryan the other week.

In short, I think this is the best out-of-the-box sub c to date. Keep in mind that no rep will ever be perfect. But for me, very few mods, if any, are essential.

Different packaging from this factory. Nice touch.

Looks killer at a glance. SEL fitment is fantastic. Dial may need a platinum paint mod, but font size is spot on.

AR cyclops is perfectly positioned but the date wheel is justified a hair to the left. Much better than I expected after I saw the QCs.

With the 3135 clone, this has the most correct crown position of a cartel watch by far. Bezel teeth are cut much better than noobs. I have yet to test if the bezel can be removed.

Bracelet is very nice actually. However, the clasp corners are deadly sharp as they always are on the reps.

Yes, the case engravings are incorrect, but its an easy fix for me and my trusty Dremel.


Anyhow, time to size the bracelet and walk around and pick up chicks (jk)

still needs the 4P mod.
i can't believe these "factories" still can't paint the friggin bezel numbers the right color.

 

[dbane883]

I nearly forgot to thank Ryan for yet another great purchase experience.

Of all the TDs, he is my favorite. There are no bad TDs here fyg.


Unlike the noob bezel, this one looks black from all angles. I found the noob sub cs often look silver grey from certain perspectives.

Rehaut engraving is superb.

Lume is immaterial to me.

Feels great on the wrist. I cannot open it up at the moment as I have no duct tape handy in the office.

Duct tape???

 

[dbane883]

Ball of duct tape to open the case is very handy.

 

[dbane883]

Just noticed the base if the CGs aren't polished! WTF!?? More Dremel time.

Congrats, and it looks good. I like the new version the best so far. I know, TC blah, blah, but the sub-c has way more wrist presence than the 16610.

 

[Debellum]

Mate , the LEC is too much visible ?
Too much cool !
Holy Shit !
I hope after Xmas mine 116610LV SA3135 by Bonesey will be here…
If the LEC is not visible , maybe will be the unique watch that I don't mod.
Only the sapphire if the fuc*ing LEC is too visible.
Mate , too cool to wrist !!

The LEC is barely visible actually. However, it not lined up exactly at 6:30. It's i between 6:30 & 6:31. But the crystal is extremely good. Not sure it's worth an upgrade to a gen unless the LEC really bothers you.

The dial is actually excellent. Perhaps "officially certified" could be at touch taller font, but not noticeable for most.

Maxi marker surrounds are not overly thick.

The non polished CGs are a touch troubling but an easy fix.

Just sanded off the edges if the bracelet. It could use a good soaking in bike oil, but that will have to wait for after my vaca. Taking this guy with me.

 

[dbane883]

The CGs are just under 1mm too tall. But out if the box, they are the best CG shape I've seen on a Sub C.

As far as timekeeping, its running about +5secs/day. But I've only had it for 8 hours now. Will try again in a couple weeks.

Thanx for the fast reply Bane !
Maybe over the green dial is less visible. However , I hate the LEC.
Now I'm busy with super- modding with mine 1680. Much Yuki parts and others gens. After this holidays I buy a crystal and will be send to Wiz for change the Crystal.

A Big hug !

Fitment of the SEL under the bezel. It's terrific.

Pearl is pretty damn good. Not sure if I should mess with it. I have a few WM pearls lying around if I decide to do the swap.

Nice watch there. Wear it well.

I cant agree with you more dbane883.
My first purchase was the same sub-c but V1.
Exactly same feeling like you had, maybe even more surpirsed as it was my first rep.
I was always wondering how it'd compare with noob.
And I'm glad you have pointed out some of the differences.

I really enjoyed this sub as a daily beater.
But flaws like lume and bezel paint, i think they really should get improved on that part.

I was thinking about getting my sub-c ARed crystal,
since the crystal seems to reflect much more than my AP Safari.
I have not yet take a good look at a gen sub-c,
so i cant really tell how this crystal compare to the gen.

 

[dbane883]

The cyclops is AR as per gen.

I also forgot to mention that when u turn the crown clockwise, the hands move forward as per gen; unlike the ETAs or clone ETAs.

 

[theevilgenius2]

thats def a nice rep. If you dont mind me asking who is the seller? I tried looking for "ryan" but couldnt find a dealer by that name. wear it well
