Legend

Are you sure about that? Can I have a picture of the watch you are talking about please?

Mate, if you look at the picture, you would immediately know what style it is if you know your GP series. It has red accents, which means it belongs to the one with the red dial. The gold and the platinum dial ones use the same straps I think, without the red accents. The pictured strap can only be ONE type. He already said it was a GP strap, and with the red accents, it is very clear which model it is. You could actually use any of the GP straps, but honestly, mate, the red one would fit the best from an aesthetic point of view.

Ask them you'll send them the watchesif they promise to stuff everything up where the sun don't shy and run a full marathon with them stuffed inside without looking like a limping ostrich with diarrhea and without dropping a single thing out of their asses. If they manage to complete the marathon (video evidence all the way of course), send them the $350 and I will throw in another $350. Else you could photocopy your middle finger and send it to them. Or just ignore them entirely, the crooks.

He already said it was a GP gen strap.

congrats mate! I personally prefer a rubber on the diver but thats just me. Enjoy your handcuff!

Very funny young J. To me, the DW depth difference is there yes, but indiscernable on the wrist for the 44mm. Actually mate, to me, the greatest difference between the gen and rep for this model, is the $20k price difference.

Hey W, Thanks for sharing! No matter which gen and its rep counterpart is scrutinized, there will always always be differences. But often, we forget that a lot of these differences are always magnified when highlighted and discussed in a forum like this. When on the wrist, they are not easy tells a lot of the time! There are of course obvious flaws in some replicas, that just scream "I'm rep! I'm rep!" with sirens blaring and orchestra music accompanying, but I would say that despite the differences, this is a very good rep and a good effort by the manufacturer.

Yes, the APB buckles would fit on standard rubber straps, rep or gen.

LOL Tony I got a warning point for that and also got my post deleted. You wanna join me on the bandwagon?

The "OY-BAG" font looks off too mate. Also the white color on the body is a bit too stark. But this thing has an engine that can lift and fly the plane I guess. So I would say its franken.

I pre-ordered mine through a friend on RWI. Would need to wait till end of the month to get it.

I do apologize for posting MD2020's real name and address. I should have PMed instead. It is hard not to be angry and get a little vindictive and mean after what he has done. Nevertheless, two wrongs don't make a right, and vigilante behavior does not improve the situation here. So my apologies mods. I got a little carried away.

Like what my friend Martijn said: For $10, you cannot be swindled over this. Open it up and check the movement!

You can take the boy out of the force, but you cannot take the force out of the boy! Don't try the barrel rolls in this one my falcon brother. Congrats!

Hello and welcome! That is a nice first post, especially when it would be inevitably compared to the first post of whatshisname demanding to know where the good replica rolex and all the pretty horses are! Essentially, pick a trusted dealer here and do your search. Try www,p-cls.com, www,pureti.me, kingwatch.cz.cc... the choices are plenty, take your pick. They carry the same watches mostly, made at the same factory. So don't worry about the same watch from dealer x being inferior to the one you see at dealer y. Once again, welcome and enjoy your stay here!

Your post is quality, and compared with your earlier ones, a very reasonable, well-put and welcomed one. It does not matter which side of the camp you are on, as long as you debate and post with class. Nobody will shoot you down as long as your post is not odious or asinine in nature. Please, stay on and grow in knowledge with the rest of us. That is an invite. You will find that guys who collect replicas are essentially normal, everyday folks much like you, and not people who hold AK-47s in one hand and a smoking cigarette in the other, squinting into the sun in the hills of Afghanistan with turbans blowing in the harsh winds. No sir. Coming from a guy who is in both the genuine and replica watches forums, I can tell you that there is a plethora of horological knowledge and passion here at RWG, and happily, a lot less snobbery and pretensions. There is knowledge and talent here that you just do not find anywhere else in the world. I am proud to call RWG home, and I hope you would too, one day.

Nobody is going to help you, because: a. Its your first post and you are asking a question which has been asked approximately 19,387,941 times before, give or take. b. The search button is still working when I checked about 26 seconds ago. c. No introduction, no pleasantries, but just a demand for an answer. Nobody is your butler or encyclopedia around here. d. Lastly, you strike me as a guy who does not know how to say please or thank you, and one of the "ask and disappear" garden variety. So please, pardon me, if I tell you that I do not care very much for your question or the answer to your question. Good luck to you, there will be guys more patient than me. One might just come along soon.

Looks superb Mr L.. I want one, but TC is out on the V6.. wonder where I could get another. A

thanks Sputim! I will do my best.. but hey, first I need to get that TC V6 Sub!

And thank you once again! My fingers got the IQ of an idiot, you sure I can do it?

Thank you very kindly for sharing! I certainly more from your one post than from scouring google reading about all the "tells", model numbers, and generations of Rolexes and their differences. As for the Safari, it is a beautiful watch for sure and I am sure you will adore it upon its return from Domi! Once again thanks for teaching me regarding the Rolex Bezel inserts.. I have two questions please: a. Can I just buy a genuine insert and put it onto a rep Sub from, say, TC? b. Are you able to change the insert yourself? What kind of tools are required please? Thank you!

I think that most OTB AP ROO reps are decent, but instant tells after you know the flaws. Can you please teach me how to spot a fake bezel please? Thank you kindly!

Or even a good rep actually.

http://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-blog/rolex-info/the-top-ten-ways-to-spot-a-fake-rolex.html Ok, going by the things this guy wrote, a lot of the Rolex we see here are genuine. I think you guys know a lot more about spotting a fake Submariner than this guy. Most of the rep movements would of course be a tell, but on the wrist, I think its very difficult, at least for a Rollie Noob like me. Please pardon me for this post, I have recently started being interested in Rolex and am doing my due research. Please be patient with me, and give me a chance to learn. L

What about the crown differences? I looked at the 505 about 2 months back and seen the differences in the crown shapes. The gen ones seem to be "flatter" at the top of the crown, but it could be variance in batches? I am not a PAM expert but this was one of the models I took a fancy to.
