Actually Ukwofleman(Mike) did a very in depth review on this model .
You can see it here.

A member posted his review as well.

And there are others here that own that watch..

I have owned a few CW watches, actually will be reviewing some new models for them in the coming weeks.
They are very good waches, especally for the price.

Though I have to say, if you are looking for a Rolex Sub hmage, you probably want to look at Steinhart.

I agree with TC....The Steinhart Ocean 44 is the #1 homage IMO.

I'm really happy with my Chr. Ward Trident Pro, which I purchased after being inspired by Mike's review. IMO it comes off as inspired by the Sub, not so much a straight-up copy. I'm satisfied with build quality, accuracy etc. The Steinhart may be more if you're going for the best homage. GL!

Having owned a Sea Dweller, it seemed as though the steel case was bullet proof. No desk diving swirls etc, at least not noticeable. Any homage watches out there with the Steinhart/Hagar look.
cW of course

I have to back this up! My Sub-C is virtually scratch free! The 904l seems to hold up a lot better than the 316l.



904L is about 3X more expensive than 316L...maybe that is why more brands do not use it...

The Steinhart Ocean 44 looks the BEST imo...

Yep Steinhart does a very good homage, they have a version from the 70's milisub that I love.

I own an Ocean 1 an Ocean 44 and three CW C60s. The CW C60 GMT is my favorite.

THIS really is a great post and DOES support that SOME bigger brands DO use better materials...

Having owned, the Hager, various Steinharts, the Trident...
I'd say easily the Squale Classic 20atmos!

I am actually waiting on their new root beer version

Nice call, where would you suggest buying a Squale watch besides Island Watch ?

 

imported post

Kadloo makes a pretty nice Sub homage too.

I buy mine from Anders at Gnonom Watches. Mark at Island watches is great too.

I love my Ocean 44, for the money it is very well made.

Have You seen any pictures of the root beer version that aren't the standard stock shots? i'm sure and believe it looks better in hand but the pictures i've been able to find are lackluster, stocky. If not eventually You'll post shots of Yours or someone here is bound to get one.

wowzers! this root beer is nioce!!!! cant wait to see some nonstock pictures!!!

Borrowed pic from gentleman at DWC.

brown or bronze really is yummy for me!!! thanks for the pic! although not too keen on the magnifier (cyclops?). also, imo i think it would look better on a brown custom leather strap.

Steinharts Get My Vote For Sure.
