I am no Rolex expert, but wow, that looks good!!!
-
Date fonts off too
-
That made fantastic reading! Of all the watches you have owned, what has been your favourite?
-
The Breitling Navitimer is one that looks very good under a shirt when it's on a leather strap!
-
Has he any pics that you could display here for us?

Do I think it has be come an obsessive issue? Yes, but for the right reasons. We are in the rep game. We are constantly striving to get good quality accurate reps. AR coatings on the gens are what set the look of the gen from the rep. It makes the dial so much clearer and crisp.
Now that replica's are becoming available with AR, the reps that require it (if the gen has it) then it should be applied. AR coatings take a fair amount of abuse before they are scratched, but they are far softer than that of Sapphire glass. If it does beomce scratched, then it can be removed fairly easily. Better to give us AR on the watches that require it, and for us to remove it if we wish/need to.

If it has the recessed date problem it will be the 3,6,9 layout, the 12,9,6 versions don't have this problem.
Therefore as Pug has stated, it is likely to be an Asian 7750, because a Swiss 7753 would not have a recessed datewheel, and the chances of a Swiss 7750 with moved gears.......does he have a friend called The Zigmeister?

Looks fake to me, the big tell tale is the B on the end of the large seconds hand, and the silver sub dials, never seen a bentley like that before!

watchmaterial.com?

I like the PO on that black strap! It's Aerospace day for me today.....
-
I only take the one with me, and it's always the Swiss SFSO. It was on the rubber strap for Kos, but thought I'd go for the leather for Gran Canaria in August...
-
Thats a fantasy rep, I am pretty sure they were only orange and black.
-
I play for fun, don't really play for big money, just with friends some weekends.

haha Another few options you could put on the poll.....
right handed wear watch on right hand
right handed, wear watch on left hand
left handed wear watch on right hand
left handed wear watch on left hand
Could see whether the opposite hand theory is correct or not!
-
If I ever come into money, I will be buying a Zonda F. Looks awesome, and it sounds like the devil is trying to communicate with the outside world through it's exhaust pipes......
-
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! As you have said, double AR is something on the PO that sticks out like a sore thumb, it is very heavy on the gen unlike the UPO. If the crystal does fit, it will certianly be a big breakthrough!!
-
A friend of mine does the same also, he's right handed but also wears the watch on his right. For me it just feels uncomfortable, like trying to put a right shoe on my left foot
-
Usually, if you are right handed, you naturally wear your watch on your left wrist and vice versa.
-
Congrats on the purchase, very nice pictures too!
-
Tomorrow Im going for the steelfish, with a recently changed strap, gone from the leather to the dark brown
Then for sunday I'l go with the 005
-
Of the two I would choose the right hand opne to keep. Cant really tell how the crown guards are. But on both the peral looks like it protrudes the metal ring it is inserted in (instead of being recessed into it) and the 6 o'clock marker is too thick on both also.. The He valve looks in the right place on both of them. The main reason I chose the right hand one was due to the colouring, the one on the left looks a few shades too light. It might just be the positioning of it and the picture though.
-
Swapped onto the Aerospace for the remainder of the week...........
-
From the pictures I have seen it appears it may have a single sided AR coating, but it is nothing like the HBB, BCE etc... which come with double side. I would talk to the dealer, because if they said it comes with double AR, that is not true!

Bugatti Veyron....Pagani Zonda....Ferrari 250 GTO....
Keep your eyes peeled!!!
getting called out/complimented........any stories?

I've heard of champagne diving off of boats, but never Rolex diving
I remember reading one story a while ago on here, of someone who bought a replica of his boss' watch, something like a Rolex Yachtmaster. They had a party on a boat offshore. The person from the forum asked to have a look at his boss' watch. He then swapped them without him seeing, and threw the rep into the water, at which point I think the boss was preparing a Job Vacancy advert. He gave Rolex back and all was well in the end.
