Shoot me a pm if you do! P.S. This isn't a WTB post

Yeah, I realize the price isn't for the faint of heart! Everything would be produced in Europe/US in a small run (10-15 watches TOTAL) if that gives a little perspective.

Haha I've already been grabbing them left and right

Just an idea I was toying with lately, thoughts would be great Any interest in a gen-spec vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms AquaLung? I realize Davidsen has a 'rep' of the vintage BP's (2nd watch I owned), but the accuracy is, well, pretty poor (dimensions are way off, incorrect movement, incorrect dial fonts/design, incorrect case back stamping fonts, etc). My mate has the complete watch, and I’m trying to convince him to let me borrow it so I would be able to do a proper gen-spec replication. What would be done: -Entire case and misc parts would be 3-D laser scanned (to 100microns). -I would invest in some macro gear to get high quality pictures of the case back engraving, dial, and insert. -Fabrication: After the vector artwork and CAD models are ready to go, I would be working with 4 different manufacturers to realize each part correctly. Essentially, this would be a completely custom project. Everything minus the period correct genuine AS1361 movement would have to be manufactured from the ground up. Price point I’m thinking would be around $2k (around 1/10th of the gen’s cost). Any interest?

Thanks for the responses guys! I ended up returning the document, but now I'll have a much better starting point when examining such documents in the future

ah dang!

It's the same one as this: http://www.rolexephemera.com/Guarantees/sub-gty-early1950s-master.htm

I'm not sure a pic of the whole thing will help. I'll attach one in a bit, but my main concern is the printing. To me it doesn't look correct

Do you have any pics you could attach to support this? Just searched for 'multi-screen printing' macros and I'm coming up empty

Hey all, A 1952 Rolex guarantee booklet I purchased just arrived today. Of course, after whipping out my loupe, also recently acquired I began to have some serious doubts concerning the booklet's authenticity. While not SUPER versed in different types of printing, lets just say I know what "dot matrix" printing is, and when it hit the scene (1968). Below is a thread I remembered reading on VRF of a similar forgery, and also a nice macro of an example of dot matrix printing. http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1405105199/Need+help+please!++Authenticating+SUPER+RARE+booklets http://www.caldwellgallery.com/original_copies.html Check out the macro photos below and let me know what you guys think. Authentic; yea or nay?
