2k might be just the slightest bit steep, but I think there will be lots of interest. This is one of the last true classics in need of a great rep (if you don't count all the Polish Navy versions on EBay
).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.

Actually, one of my favorite watches. Would be very interested if it turns out "right."
Should I start sourcing a load of AS 1361s?
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

Sorry mate mine is the 1955 one close but not the same :/
ah dang!

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

That is not dot matrix. That is old school multi-screen printing.
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.Check out the macro photos below and let me know what you guys think. Authentic; yea or nay?
