Its made by Rolex and says Submariner on the dial. Anything else is a homage (Submariner style) or fake.
Basically I've seen quite a few different watches described as a submariner, not all called that by the manufacturer, but wondered how people decide if a watch fits that group.
Is it the bezel or the crown guard, the cyclops or something else?

OP, you like talking about things which look like things, but aren’t really things, don’t you?
Oh boy, this forum is fun, I need to stop here a little more often
And just to make it more interesting, a submariner doesn't have a cyclops. If it does, it's a sub date (and no, Tony, it's not called a dom).
OP, if you like the watches but don't like the prices, do not seek a fake instead.
I call mine an Ł8 Soki.
It can't be called a "Sub" or a "Submariner" because it isn't water proof

If this is the best that you can aspire to, then good luck.

As this is the wrong area of the forum, Id suggest that the OP edits his last post pretty sharpish to remove the nastier stuff.
If only because these comments might well obscure the possibility that he just may have made some accurate observations...
Edit - too late - you've been quoted- although worse things get said in another part of the forum, so Id be seeing pots calling kettles black if any real offence had been taken...
...still the wrong place and time for such remarks though...

A Sub is British,
a U-Boat is German

"How do you define a Sub?"
You don't: it defines you*.
*Apparently.

Last year the yellow duck marine became a yellow sub when it sank.
If you need to know how to define a sub can I suggest giving Daniel Sturridge a call?

To me a Sub is a watch made by Rolex, a type of sandwich, a newspaper editor or a kind of boat the Navy owns.
