COD doesnt allow you to open&inspect the package prior payment (at least here). you have to pay and then you get the package. if there are stones insides, you cant do nothin about it!

its not the watch that sucks, its your skill ;D

why dont you try and read

and then try the picture again with your camera

DUDE thats a pretty cool watch and a rep of a genuine panerai! i'm pretty DAMN sure here are a lot of ppl who would KILL to get their hands on one of those! only 2 were produced AFAIR

there was a thread a while ago on the old RWG about this watch

pic of the gen:

lol thats pretty funny

jepp, thats 100% affirmative

where are you going to get the gen tube+crown from?! i'm looking for one too!

i'm going to a SPA tomorrow!

its really a GREAT watch and i love it, BUT why couldnt they get the spelling of the day of the week right???

WOW, some of you guys really crack me up. So much speculation that this watch is fake with all these nice reasons...

Fact is...Slay and others who think it's fake should get some education before spouting at the mouth...

WOW, you should get some education in reading, i guess

i clearly said im no daytona EXPERT, but the subdial @6 looks like its a 24hour indicator (and the hand positions match with the subdial hand positions) and the non-SEL endlinks looked worn out, i said nothing else!

but i now know its gen and how much it was... my speculation was just about the sub @6. if the chrono would have been resetet to ZERO before taking the pic, i couldnt tell if it was gen or fake simply b/c i dont have such knowledge about the pre 2000 reps (and i said that too)

and btw. congratz to the gen daytona darthsimon!

yes, its around 200$ from most of our beloved dealers

that one also caught my attention... does anyone know of that model exists as a GEN?

in my eyes is not wearing a full gold daytona as a student... it screams fake.

or: "i have a rich papa/sugar daddy!"

i'd go with a nice PO btw.

i'd stay faaaar away from replica clothes if you're looking for quality... if its jut the brand name you're interested in, go ahead!

Fake & no chrono function.

thats what i think too

dont even get me started on them prices... his reps alone probably cost more than all the stuff i own

regarding tanfos watches... i think at least most of them are reps (thats what he told me), but he's got a bunch of genuine merchandise and boxsets for them!

@slay: The sub 6 IS a chrono hour indicator. El Primero Daytonas have running seconds at 9'o'clock. The endlinks are the older style non-SEL. Yes, they're not fitting perfectly to the lugs. Is that what bothers you?

they look "worn out" or "cheap" as you might say! if you wear the watch a lot, those non-SEL (rep) endlinks will bent a little and form a gap between them and the case. i dont know if thats the case on gens too, but it is the case on cheap asian auto daytonas! if it is the same with gens that would be a real pitty!

regarding the sub @6 i know what it SHOULD be, but you cant tell from the picture if the watch really houses a zenith movement (which means a chrono movt) or just some daydayte asian auto crap movement! if it would house a asian daydate, the sub @6 would be a 24hour indicator (day/night) and i think the position of the hand of the subdial matches the time shown by the main hands for a 24hour indicator!

Basically the law is to stop people buying cheap rolex straight from the maufactorer and undercutting dealers in other countries.

Walmart actually brought a large amount of rolex watches for their employees and they lost the lot at the border.

Ken

seriously? (the walmart thing)

i dont think rolex (the manufactor) sells their watches to anyone besides AD's! it's probably to prevent gray market sales, but it still is bullcrap!

i dont know, but i wouldnt take the risk

boi tanfo would have some serious problem when moving to the US

LOL....

the sub @6 looks like its a 24hr indicator

and the endlinks seriously look like crap! either someone wore the hell out of them, or its a rep

i cant comment on the dial since and all the other stuff since i'm clearly no expert!

i just found this:

Here is what the US Customs Service says as of Jan 2003:

The Rolex trademark recordation with Customs indicates "Import of Goods Bearing Genuine Trademarks or Trade Names Restricted." This means that genuine Rolex products can only be imported with the permission of the trademark owner, Rolex Watch U.S.A. Inc. A private individual can hand carry one Rolex watch from a trip overseas without obtaining permission. Bring in more than one, and they will all be seized as a trademark violation. Purchasing a Rolex from overseas by mail is also a trademark violation.

which basically means, if you live in the US and buy a rolex from lets say some german guy and customs open the package, they can SEIZE it... seriously i think thats just bullcrap! especialy in a globalized 21st century!

so it wouldnt make a difference if you buy a replica for 100bucks from overseas or a genuine for a few 10grand

cheap day/date daytona rep i would say!

why? because of the subdial hand positions!

OFF TOPIC:

Commander Keen RULES!!!!
