Ahah, allright. I'll go for it then . - Be right back. "When you have a genuine rolex in your hands, you will notice, you should notice, that it's a substantial, well crafted, precise instrument, it should feel as something with significant value, like it's worth 1000's of dollars, it should feel heavy (....) It's not going to feel cheap. (....) The bezel should move (...) There should be no glue, or something." LOL. I have a gen according to Mr. TD.

I actually know how to spot a fake, but thanks for the advice. Just wanted to make a general list of harder-tells; for people who are looking into modding/building or getting their rep more gen-like, for example by getting a PPP mod. (Youtube videos don't cover these flaws) Avoid bruises on and around your wrist, so we can still enjoy your beautiful watches.

If the end is good, all will be good. Bonum ego quam beatum me esse nimio dici mavolo. Sounds promising Stephane! Enjoy my friend. We salute you!

Stephane.. We were trying to cover up our secret love affair, but you've exposed us.

I think you are very right. Thanks for the comment. I indeed had a legitimate request; but I now see your point (and the point of the previous commenters). There are indeed a lot of different models, and various flaws and tells, I just wanted to make one, big, nice list of things to look out for; to get your perfect Submariner. Also helpful because people will find flaws on their own watches; and might get it modded by someone off our forums, which is awesome. I just wanted to get all the information that could help on one page/thread, without forcing people to read the entire forums and every post to find just the smallest flaw about reps. The problem you mentioned about genuine watch-forums reading our posts is indeed present; I think the customs list you mentioned is even worse. Though, there is not much we can do about that; since the information is out there, somewhere, anyways.

What?

.. I got a Rolex for my birthday from my lesbian neighbours. I think they misunderstood when I said "I wanna watch."

Dear All, First things first, before this looks like an advert for them: DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE. SCAMMERS. I'm not sure wether this has been posted before on this topic, just wanted to give a heads-up. (No, I haven't purchased or been scammed by them, I simply haven't ordered!) Looks like an amazing website, e-mail contact is really really smooth. http://www.solidswiss.cd Funny, "Based in Switzerland" with a .cd domain. These awesome guys are actually located in Congo (And ship from China) Looks like there is no dirt on these guys. http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.solidswiss.cd (They give their selves good reviews, these are NOT real people!) Don't be fooled: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.solidswiss.cd?rating=1 DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER/WEBSITE.

Haha perfect, neither do I drink beer. Comment was meant towards @beachcomber though.

Beach told him about the current situation, and asked Avenue for help. Avenue advised Beach to act like a man and confront her...

All the information that is on this forum can be found "on the internet"; just like everything else. Good comment, once again. This is just a place to filter the [censored] that is to be found on the internet and a get-together of many experienced members who participate in the rep world; as you already knew. Also: I'm not very certain if you've actually read what my thread is about, let me copy-paste for you: We're not going to make a list of-dummy tells for dirt cheap reps, let's try to compose a list for high quality rep "tells". (I've increased the font size a little for you, incase you read over it again!) You know as well as I do, that the information on the internet on particular "tell-, real VS fake" is outdated. Those are for bad reps, I'm not sure if you've noticed or if it hasn't crossed you mind, but on this forums we do GOOD reps and Franken builds. Those are not the watches that are common on "the internet"; as you like to call it. As Stephane said in a previous post: EDIT: You might need 2.

Of course this has been tried before. But something more recent and up-to-date doesn't currently exist, that's why I wanted to give it a shot, but I won't ever try something like this again, the unfriendliness of other members sometimes is un-real. Hence why my post count is so low. I usually only read, and scroll. And I now, again, realise why I never posted/commented on threads. Applauding for the actual members on RWG who are here to help and not to [censored] and try to act all fancy.

Awesome .

Apparently she was a fake spotter and a member of RWG. Beachcomber had flamed her on forums before; after ruining one of her honest and helpful threads. Beach thought she was a rookie because he was too lazy to take a glimpse at the join date....

Don't really see the point in this discussion. Thank you again for your kindness. Having a bad day? I'm not a "fake spotter"; Nice secundum quid. Mature. "You've come to the right place"; like I've signed up to this forums today. Take another look at the join-date, perhaps. Let's see if you're mature enough to stay away from commenting again; since you're not doing any good to this thread.

Awesome.

I indeed own a Submariner 116610LN. I am just very curious and knowledge hungry of which are the tells (I am quite aware of most of them), though I want to become more experienced and a better "fake-spotter"; don't see how that is a problem, or makes me someone who is going to sell a watch on eBay, like beach said. I think i'm not the only one who will benefit from this thread, once it's finished. Why wouldn't it be handy to have all the tells noted and written down, all on one page? Does it hurt somebody? Didn't think so. Thanks for the great input guys. Go fish somewhere else.

"This watch has sold three times recently (03/26/15, 04/07/15, and 04/24/15) for the listed asking price, as there is high demand for this, what may be the world's rarest watch. However, each time, each of the three recent buyers were unable to gather the requisite funds to complete the sale." LOL. ^

- Incorrect date font or size.

Hello All, I wanted to compose a list of Submariner "tells"; I know there are a bunch of various model. Let's make a list for the most popular Submariner; 116610LN Submariner Ceramic date. We're not going to make a list of-dummy tells for dirt cheap reps, let's try to compose a list for high quality rep "tells". Let's not talk about the interior of the watch, but the exterior. (What is to be seen for the naked eye.) I know it isn't easy to just make a list, because you'll have to see things; but let's try. Rehaut misaligned. (Could sometimes occur on gens!) No micro-laser 'etched' crown @6" (Mostly found on good reps nowadays though!) Poor magnification on Date. (Less than x2.5) Uneven spacing on the date. Lume brightness does not match between hour indices, non-hour indices and hands. White bezel numbers. (Numbers on Gen. bezel are Platinum dust-filled) Incorrectly centered pearl. I'd like to hear things from everybody, so we can make a big list, for clarification. Many people will benefit from this, since there are usually members looking for perfect reps (aren't we all); this is a way to at least know what to look for! ~

It's sold.

Looks awesome, will definitely follow topic to see progress .

This guy has 667 feedbacks of 100% o.O I don't think he's going to throw that all overboard for 18k? What are the tells according to you?
