  1. for those of you who say its obviously fake.....not to everyone, to you guys who have been doing this for years maybe. I have no friggin idea what I'm looking at when I try to tell the difference between gen and rep? Believe me I'm trying to learn. For instance I have a sub I bought from Andrew @ Trusty ...I'm sitting here looking at it and looking at watches on ebay or even the Rolex website .....what the hell am I looking for? They look virtually identical to me. Maybe the rep is a little thicker? maybe the crown looks slightly different? I am not saying any of this as a smart ass I honestly want to know what to look for and to learn the difference. I have a rep from about ten years ago....a datejust and yeah I can for sure tell the difference from it and a gen...the date window has no magnification, and it obviously looks and feels cheap...but I bought my Mom a ladies datejust and we put it next to my Aunt's gen and I couldnt tell them apart aside from the rotor inside the rep was noisier. Anyway thanks again for all the help and input as usual  you guys are a wealth of knowledge 

    You have good attitude and I am glad to see that you are trying to learn. The guys here are equally glad to share when you showed openness instead of acting like a doubting Thomas..That is the correct spirit that will make a master out of you someday. It will separate you from those guys who will forever be stuck in the same sphere of ignorance.

    When I first started out, I have no idea where to even start differentiating the rep from the gen. The lessons are learnt and knowledge accumulated over the years.

    Welcome to RWG and I hope your stay here will be fruitful and meaningful. 

  2. A guy at my work bought few homage pieces based on Panerai historic models, 111 etc. They are piece of shit compared to Noob or H Fact.

    lol not if you ask the OP. That guy spends his time rapping on reps and paying homage to homages purely based on brand alone and ignoring all aspects of quality and build. It's sad how one could know so little and blabber so much.

  3. Could you please post pictures of how the crown is sitting now? Did the case need to be redrilled to accommodate gen stem height?

    I am unsure. Watchfreund would be in a better position to answer your question ;)

    But I'll try to get you the pic you requested. ;)

  4. Beautiful build here, nicest build of this model I have seen.  Great to see you in the Rolex area.  

    Thank you very kindly, and I am glad to join the Rolex area too, despite being a complete noob here. :lol:

    I am be happy if you and others could kindly guide me, I really am new to Rollies and could do with a lot of help.

     

    Other than that, its great fun to engage you and others in the "word association" thread! ;)
