I sent this iPhone video to Archie and he's edited it into a video for his YouTube channel. Just thought some here might like to see some close up footage of the ceramic Sub.

Archie Luxury can't afford a Rolex Sub? Shock!!!
:tickled_pink:
I cant believe archie cant afford one!
(Lets draw a line under the fact that neither can i)
You're not Poppy Luxury, are you?
I had a very stern word with myself after forking out for the SubC - "You've spent quite enough money for the time being!" etc....Quote:

Love the watch but finding it hard to understand why you involved Archieluxury. This is in watch talk and Archie has a potty mouth. Just saying:uncomfortableness:
Perhaps it was misjudged to post the link here? No bad language actually mentioned in the thread so I thought it would be ok... No offence intended.Quote:

Ah it was you ! Just like to say many thanks for that I spent an agonising 24hrs going cold turkey over that speedy.:beguiled:Quote:

Archie is thoroughly repulsive. Entertaining though. A guilty pleasure.
That's about the size of it!Quote:

Perhaps the OP should provide a small warning about the language in his opening post, but otherwise I don't really see any issue here. Given that we're all adults.Quote:

He could do with spending some money on a haircut. Thats a pretty grotty barnet.
I trying to work out who this Archie really is? LOL
He is a bell-end of low intelligence, but is of some amusement value.Quote:

Hahaha bellend is the right word. And in other words else, Archie is the ill person whom nerves are a bit cracked..Quote:

I would definitely recommend Amrut. Atleast a one time try. Is available online.Quote:

I know we don't expect incisive commentary from Archie, but what exactly is this meant to prove?
Yes, I always think he stole Barrie Humphries' Sir Les Patterson persona, although in all fairness Archie wears better ties than Sir Les.Quote:

The Watch Snob had been neutered last time I checked. Just another toothless "hooray for everything" shill now. There was a brief phase where it seemed to be worth the read, but it's long gone.Quote:

I think the writer has just been changed (again) and the current one is being rather kind to brands the character has previously slaughtered.Quote:

This guy Archie is an ass, he's a scammer (look at his eBay feedback, selling fake Rolex boxes as originals in 2011)
He has a video about replica watches and a link to a forum thread where he was asking the members to donate a replica Rolex to him, one of the members then busted him as a scammer. He uses other peoples pictures of genuine boxes but sends fakes so just be careful folks.
Anyway very nice watch you have there!
Brilliant, I love Archie's channel. He's totally mental but a lot of fun.
I have the same watch and agree with his comments (not that I'm biased...).

When I bought the 114060 I loved it, but that wore off pretty quickly...those thick lugs are just too much for my taste. All very subjective of course. I'd still love an early model. But then, so does everyone else..hence the prices!
