Oh my. Stop the confusion guys. Best sub is from R-Factory. Best insert, best crystal, best cyclops! Even TC is no match... TC is missing the engraving on the lugs. Check your local AD and ask for an R-Factory submariner, grade AAA. You won't go wrong!

OMG I just figured out R factory lmfao!!! This whole time I've been like what the F is factory.

Poor guy took 2nd best.............see guys, you all confused him !! Next thing you know he will be called out on the ceramic insert, trade or sell it, and buy a TC Sub !! ........................................... For all those who have not seen a TC Sub in the flesh, well do so........the buck stops there !! ........ [the BKLM Sub could tie with TC's, if it had a better insert] .........................In the order of the 'best out the door' and 'cash and carry' Rolex Submariners: 1-TC Subs ....2-BKLM's Ceramic Subs, 3-and the Noob ceramic V5 116610 Sub. ............I don't think that can be disputed. The TC is still King.

I personally disagree. I had a TC sub, got it, sold it 2 days later. It wasn't anything to do with the details of the watch. It's the model itself I didn't care for. Hollow end links, folded bracelet, cheap feeling bezel.
I have a Noob V5 116610LV and couldn't be happier with it. Better dial, bracelet, hands, markers. Plus, ceramic is so much nicer and glossier than aluminum.
But like I said; that's just my opinion, and I know very little.
Now if TC made a SubC, I would jump on that.

Sorry, but we are talking about "The BEST Sub" here. Not personal choice. The best made. The most authentic looking. The one that comes closest to a Gen. It could be made of aluminum for all we care. But it remains 'true' to the original. If we stay with those parameters in mind, then a TC is the standard. ....There is simply no other. And is a fact. ..........Bigger bouncier heftier boobs do not a woman make. Nor does her humongous shiny butt. It raises a red flag if they are real or not. A TC raises nothing [well, almost].

That's because you like the sub c better than the aluminum sub but it's a proven fact that the TC sub LV or LN is out of the box the closest to gen submariner rep money can buy.
