Review of Upcoming RXF New Submariner 116610 LN and Comparison

[muiramas]

Looks really good. Especially considering it’s around half the price of the competition.

EDIT:
Colour cast removed from JWIN36's post so we can see it properly:

I can't see the focal length in the meta, but I wonder if the rehaut isn't a tiny bit wokky? Not seen this on any other pics...

Definitely a lot of watch for that money and a really good job for a V1.

Still waiting for some pics with better lightning and in sunlight.

Not sure though I would go for it over ZZF right now but a second place definitely a lot more gen like than ARF or Noob. Glad that a new factory decided to up the sub game.

Regarding crystal not sure why everybody obsess over that it's the cheapest and easiest thing to swap for gen. Better get all the other details as close to gen as possible as gen bezel/insert + dial is approx 2000 USD. And if rehaut is bad than the watch is not worth basically anything.

I disagree. The “Rehaut Police” is no longer active and everyone else you meet does’nt care about the rehaut of your watch.

This is a forum, so there are a both a lot of opinions and a complete absence of them;

A while ago there were people here who declared the length of the "=" sign on the dial was an 'instant tell' rendering a watch 'unwearable'.

And then there are members who need to ask Smoke what it is they should be thinking.

Whilst sheltering from the rain in the English summer earlier. Big dimple! But as said above, if the light doesn't catch it right, it's invisible.

Gen? JK but could pass... sick watch!

Just received mine today.

So far I’m pretty impressed.

let me know what you all think.

Very impressed with the crystal and datewheel here

Did you really have to quote and re-post a huge stack of pictures everyone has already seen to say just that?

Your photo skills make me want to buy this watch!! If possible could we get a Lume shot and also some side pics of the clasp?

From the photos I really like the dial printing. It’s super white and raised too! And yes the cyclops has a halo effect and what seems to be a decent black hole. I like the bezel to lug width ratio which kinda gives the wide-mouth gen look but can’t help but think the lugs are a little short. It looks really good but like I said your picture taking could make any watch look good

Just ordered mine last night from Andrew. This will be my first sub as up until now I’ve always hankered after GMT’s but the price and look of this RXF has me excited.... Hoping for QC pics soon.

I really don't get your point at all.

Why rehaut doesn't matter anymore its the one thing you can't swap for gen and swapping it to another rep case basically means buying another watch. Gen crystal is 200-300 USD and you're done. Bad rehaut engraving is a tell like all other details I mean not for others around you but for yourself. I don't care what others think I buy / build these for myself.

 

[d3s19n]

If we’re talkin rehaut in on this RXF I think it’s fairly accurate but like all reps too deep and wokky compared to gen. And also the polished bottom portion is lacking.

So bad rehaut is a tell for yourself? That is indeed something. So basically you are building a Rep that will fool yourself. Ok I won't argue.

 

[Flinnt]

Very late to the conversation. I’m hanging around on a forum with more reasonable critics these days.
I’m also currently drunk so don’t mind me.
This is bloody beautiful for the price.
The criticisms are definitely not noticeable to people looking at it on your wrist. If it’s so much of a problem to yourself then you will only ever be satisfied with gen, and the gen factory won’t sell it to you anyway. Grey markets will make a killing off you.
Rep wearers need to get their head screwed on and realise if you’re out to fool others you need a new personality and if you are out to fool yourself then...you need a new self.
Jumping back a long way (I just read all of this thread now), if you have a problem with intellectual property you probably should just die now. Ask a real scientist what they think of modern “intellectual property”. If you believe in intellectual property rights then you have no right to benefit from your education, no right to medicine, no right to benefit from anything that wasn’t your original idea.
P.S. There’s no such thing as an original idea.
Want to know what’s edible and what’s not?...that’s someone else’s intellectual property so p*ss off and eat by trial and error. Want to keep warm?...that’s someone else’s intellectual property so f*ing freeze, want your doctor to help with your health?...that’s someone else’s intellectual property their using so just go and die. We live on the shoulders of giants. Intellectual property is bullshit.
I warned you I was drunk. Speak my mind I will do.
Amazing rep for the price.
​​​​​​​Hello ban hamster, nice to meet you.

Last one for the fans, I promise,

Also, getting the camera to focus for the lume shot was fairly complicated.

JWIN36 Thx for the pictures. amazing. What is you overall thought of the Solid End Links?? Thet look real good from the pictures.

Yes don't do that agree on that with you.

Rehaut police and a rep that will fool yourself ain't really sounding that smart or contributing anything here.

We're all after a good rep and building these to as gen as possible for ourselves and trying figure out the good and bad of a new model here.

That crystal may be one of the best OOTB I have ever seen. Damn. Just for that alone the pictures make me giddy with glee.

And when you consider the price, this for me is the Sub to buy if you're not looking to mod/franken; real bang for the buck.

Dial seems even better than ZZF! Better printing. Only weak points are sels and hands. But for the price is really good!

You're not making any sense at all.

There's a health care system making billions for their intellectual property and you're paying for it when visiting the doctor and buying your medicines so you have every right to benefit from that and so with all your other examples.

It's not wether you believe in it or not it's about wether it's stolen or being paid for the rights to use it.

The one who develops the COVID vaccine will make billions out of their intellectual rights for it and probably ain't running around saying it's a bullshit.
