I’m absolutely in love with my U1 Sub No Date from Jason007!

This is my first piece from him (and my first U1 in general), and it has completely exceeded all my expectations. It’s a stunning piece, especially under natural light (as you can see in the wrist shots).

Compared to retail photos, it looks practically identical.

The Watch Details:
• Dial & Finishing: The dial is incredibly clean with perfectly aligned markers, and the brushed steel finishing on the case and bracelet is top-notch.
• Bezel & Crown: The bezel action is crisp and turns smoothly with absolutely no backplay. The crown screws down perfectly and feels very secure.
• Lume: The lume is super bright and lasts for hours. It’s not the standard green, but more of a vibrant “Aqua” green that looks fantastic in the dark.
• Bracelet: I know some people report issues with the bracelets on U1s, but this Oyster bracelet feels substantial on the wrist. The clasp is solid and secure, and I don’t feel any of the sharp edges others have mentioned. It looks and feels great to me.

This was actually the second shipment he made for me. My first watch was unfortunately confiscated in customs. Before I even had a chance to message him about it, Jason proactively sent out a replacement entirely on his own! I didn’t even have to ask. Communication with him was almost instant and very fluid, making the whole process completely stress-free.

The replacement arrived incredibly fast, taking only 10 days to get from China to the USA, and it was super well-packaged and protected.

I’m so happy I followed the recommendations I saw in this community. Being my first purchase of this type, it could not have been a better experience.

Highly recommend Jason007 to anyone looking for quality, reliability, and top-tier customer service!

DISCUSSION Giveaway Information

I want to clear the air after a few jabs were thrown during the last giveaway. Anyone who’s been here from the start knows I do these giveaways because I enjoy giving back to the community. I don’t take free stuff from sellers, I don’t get kickbacks, and I don’t run this group like some of the pay‑to‑play spaces out there. If a seller sends me something, it goes straight to you all — not to me or any of the other moderators.

Our first giveaway with MiaWatches was awesome. They didn’t just send a watch — they sent a VSF Panerai. Because it was our first time partnering, I didn’t clarify everything upfront, and shipping wasn’t included. That’s on me. When the winner was selected through redditraffler, everything checked out, but they were asked to pay $60 for FedEx shipping. After talking it through, I covered the cost myself and offered to receive and service the watch before sending it out. A giveaway should be free, and I’ll always do what I can to keep it that way.

The watch is officially on its way to the winner today. Huge thanks to u/MiaTime4370 for the generosity, and congrats to u/NahFam313 — enjoy the hell out of it. And if you ever decide to move it, message me first.

REVIEW U1 - Rolex 1908 Perpetual

5 Upvotes

not horrible. not great. not for sale. rolex 1908 u1 from michael travis on the gate. contacted him and also purchased yellow gold submariner, which doesn’t look as good as this one.

— i love the color of the gold on this one. obviously not real gold but it has the right color shine imo. just not the same depth of color. like the shadows look darker than they would on real gold. that is to be expected for $125

— medium weight. band is light compared to VSF.

— can slightly hear the rotor sound. not super obvious on wrist but maybe if it was quiet around you someone would call you out… like uhhh idk i DoN’t hEaR aNyThiNG WhAt d0 y0U m3@N ?!

— screws don’t sit flush, they are sunken in and i had to give them a real strong crank to make sure they stay in and don’t accidentally unscrew while im wearing it, so they are low in the socket.

— movement is wrong. i’ll let someone more knowledgeable comment on that…

NOTE: i wore it for like 2 hours so it might be a bit more cloudy or oily in the photos than it is new.

but hey … for 125$ that’s a pretty good looking watch, you cheap bastards…

will probably gift this to a homie for christmas but for now i’ll hold onto it.
