Hi there,

Lately, I have begun to feel that I need a Rolex replica in my little collection. A Submariner 116610 LN Black Ceramic 904L Steel.

Which factory makes the best replica? Is it Noob, ARF, VSF, or...? What would the experts recommend...?

I would also appreciate recommendations for a nice matching strap from black leather.

Thank you so much in advance!

Cheers,
BP

Wait a minute...
You want the RWI members to make decisions for you on the best submariner and best leather strap?

None of us are here to pick your clothes and pack your lunch for you. It's time for you to grow up and make your own decisions.

Is it time for you to start READING posts before you comment on them?
I was asking for RECOMMENDATIONS, not "DECISIONS", dude!

As the post right above yours suggests, other RWI members are happy to help; no need for you to speak for them.

RWI's first rule is don't ask who makes the best submariner! :LOL:
Some of us have been dedicating time to this hobby for years, you just need to read a few posts to understand which are the best reps right now. Try a little and read a few posts ... and if you have any doubts or don't understand something many of us will help you.

Well, I have seen other members post similar questions in other brand forums on this very site, and I have seen members (including myself, btw) gladly sharing their knowledge with the original poster. I don´t see the point of wasting time by arduously building the same knowledge from scratch again and again by different members if we can just share it. I find it more effective (and more fun) this way.

It is also my opinion that polite questions deserve polite replies, even if the question seems SO STUPID to those in the know.

Thank you!

Any opinions on the ZF replica of the Submariner? I have two of their IWC replicas, and they are really nice.

There's a reason why on RWI Rolex/Tudor replica threads there's 96+ pages dedicated to the VSF Submariner. That's all you really need to know.

Thank you, I have seen that thread. It makes sense what you write. However, my Very Trusted Dealer lists the ZF replica for exactly the same price as the VSF replica which could mean that it is just as worth buying. Hence my question.

I’ll try to be polite since I agree with your sentiment that there is no need to be rude or dismissive. However, do you want advice or do you want to buy a ZF Submariner? If you don’t want to listen to the very kind members who have chosen to answer your question despite it violating forum rules, don’t ask for advice.

I’m sure the ZF Submariner is a quality rep since ZF is a quality factory, but if you had read the forum posts instead of asking others to provide you the benefit of their effort and time, you would already know why Clean and VSF are the consensus picks. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll love whatever watch you pick, even if it’s a ZF.

The quote above mine?
Oh... I agree. R factory is best. Do the research and you may agree. If you don't agree that R Factory is the best for you, you may want to read the posts on VSF, Clean, ZF, King, JVS, etc...

We all have our favorites, which is why Rule #1 on RWI is to not ask who makes the best Submariner, cause it's up to the individual to decide.

Don't take things personal. We're all here to learn and also to have fun. Have a good day, enjoy the weekend, and enjoy the forums.

ZF is the best, absolutely. But, well.. ARF makes the best really. But get a CF if you can, its better. ZF is really good tho. But actually I feel very strongly about all options and certainly think it warrants further study. (But get the CF. No.. ARF, I mean.)
:cool:

You must be referring to the "Terms and Rules" that state:

"While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, profanity (or attempts to bypass profanity filters), insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters. Please refrain from posting meaningless topics, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the equivalent. Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed. Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members. Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline. We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate XenForo community standards. The moderators shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed."

I haven´t violated any of these rules, you can stop saying so.

That’s a lot more writing and effort than necessary to tell us you completely missed the point. I wish you the best in your search for the best submariner.
