Please note that it is all my personal opinion so please do not flame me, I respect SUBMARIINER and its iconic design...
1/ too common
Yes, sub is Iconic and many people in this Industry love it. Which make sub the most well known what in forum and you will see it any where in the wild. Even if I’m owning a Gen Sub I may feel lost of uniquness and personality owning it too
2/ factory tried not to make it perfect
As smoke said, no factories are trying to make a perfect sub. It make me really concern why bigger brand like Patek, Vacheron Constantin, even Blancpain Fity Phantom have a NWBIG or First Class and even SUPER REP, but Rolex SUB do not?
Now, It is easy to understand since the SUB is highest demand in the REPLICA industry which make it a GOLD MINE for the factories.
They do not want to make a perfect SUB that all people want to buy but they just can sell it for 1 time, they do not want the GOLD MINE to be destroy but keep it and DICK it year by year by introduce less flaws version (I’m quite sure there are common agreement between them about that)
more over this Industry make profit mostly from RE-SALE/UP-SALE the products for the same customers (since they can hardly promote or advertising to attract new customer) and by this strategy they can dick to SUB REP lover pocket every year…
3/ come out every years/month
This really an outcome of the number 2, because many factories want to produce (a litte bit) better version of SUB compare to previous ones from others factories. That war will make many better version can come in a same years. I’m quite a perfectionist and can hardly stop my self from look at a better version and not buy it…(even the better point is minor) è the problem its the better version come in every 3 months or 6 months
4/ too many Homage/rep out there
Rolex Sub is so iconic that every one want to copy from them. The problem is that from far distance my (rep) Submariner can be mistake as other cheaper Homage like GINAULT, TISELL, SQUALE, PARNIS, STEINHART (hundreds of brand to be name)
And even from close distance if people see the detail and the Rolex brand on the dial, they still ask themselves and even directly if the watch is Genuine or Fake?
That won’t happen with less popular brand like AP/Patek/Vacheron or Omega…
5/ overly charge the 904L SS
we all know that 904L have some of its advantages compare to 306l. but for the REP I do not know if it really worth to have it for about $100 more (since we do not DIVE with REP watch to much). More importantly will the look difference can be tell just by Naked eyes? And do really 904L superior to 306L ? is still a agurement even in GEN !
Well it finish here, please tell me some of your opinion…
