PureTime, TS Watch, and InTime are all TDs.

I noticed some precise differences between the pictures in each of these sites for the 116610 LN.

1. http://puretime.co/product/submariner-116610-ln-sa3135-best-edition/
2. http://www.tswatchltd.com/13858-ro13858-submariner-116610-black-ceramic-best-v2-asian-3135.html
3. http://www.intime.co/product.php?id_product=1052
4. http://www.intime.co/product.php?id_product=71

They all use the SA3135.
Here are the precise differences:
1.
  • Crown is too close to triangle.
  • The "f" in 1000ft is the big f.
  • There is a big gap between the SWISS and the MADE.
  • Does not specify factory.
2.
  • Crown is further from triangle.
  • The "f" in 1000ft is the small f.
  • There is a small gap between the SWISS and the MADE.
  • Does not specify factory.
3.
  • Crown is further from triangle.
  • The "f" in 1000ft is the small f.
  • There is a small gap between the SWISS and the MADE.
  • Noob factory.
  • The 2 in the date is thicker.
4.
  • Crown is further from triangle.
  • The "f" in 1000ft is the small f.
  • There is a big gap between the SWISS and the MADE.
  • Does not specify factory.
  • The 2 in the date is thinner.

My question is, based on these facts, which one is the most accurate to a gen 116610 LN?

Thanks in advance.

Here's not 1, but 2 lovely gens for your comparison.
Good luck!

You've gone to all the trouble of analysing the data you've got their but can't make a decision on which is more accurate?

Yes, that seems to be the case.
With so many of these watches, even the $400 ones, the differences are so obvious. If I knew which was accurate, I'd be able to tell fakes in seconds.

Number 3 is here on the left beside the wifes GMTII-C
In terms of build quality and finish, the new Noob is awesome.
Fat hour hand aside, its different class ?

Okay. After closer examination, the hour hands are different.

1. sharp
2. thick
3. thick
4. sharp

The sharp hour hand is the accurate one. So it seems that:

2, 3:
More accurate with crown and triangle location, size of f in ft, thickness of 2 in date, gap between SWISS and MADE

1, 4:
More accurate with sharpness of hour hand

Why can't they just get it right?

Because, my friend, if they get it right, everyone would buy 1 watch. The industry would crumble, and we'd all have nothing to moan, gripe, bitch, argue and fight over!

Here's what you do. You either sit and compare the pics of reps vs pics of gens and pick the one with the least flaws. Or, you look at all the different threads already on the subject and pick whichever one has the least flaws or the flaws you can live with. There is no best, only the best for you.

Bonesey's hit the nail right on the head. I hummed and hawed for ages. Looked at pics, and thought, "know what, I'll decide! Bought the one I liked. Simple. Its not perfect, but its perfect for me.

Most precise rep out there......... the quest continues.....

I feel for your desperation, ................Nowadays I simply buy a lottery ticket every now and then so I can one day buy every single genuine Rolex that my authorized dealer has to offer. And that includes his display shelves. Yup, one day. I sometimes even dream of buying even the very building he is housed in. In the meantime I just enjoy rotating my not so accurate collection of goodies that I have acquired from our trusted dealers. Keeps me sane. And I sleep with a smile. Good luck on your quest for that very elusive perfect clone. :cheers:
