That is true, and honestly just gold plating some gears and sh!t would go a long way....

It says Swiss Engineered... made in...China? I think it's the first watch of it's kind that doesn't suck total balls... I might try one. I really dig being able to change the dials and use Google's Fitness app to hate myself even more.

I personally shy away from open-back reps. It's pretty much a guaranteed tell for anyone who isn't a total n00b. Even the good ones, aren't. What's funny is some of the Rolex clone movements are actually decent, but hidden away. Tell me how someone in China is going to knock this off... believe me they try and it looks like piss.

Ooooh I've never been a means to an end before. This is fun.

Very well done, who did the case shaping?

hah.

Dumb rich people.

That is a nice dial!

Good to see a Briton behaving properly, in a tux with good kit.

Wow - absolutely beautiful and the dial is great! Congratulations

StoneP and other members will at times sell decent GMT's. Anything from our TD's will be okay, but really require a bit of work to get the watch really accurate.

Sounds like we need MoaB to weigh in here.

Indeed. Here's the sale thread https://rwg.cc/topic/181264-gen-rolex-date-just-white-gold-with-arabic-numerals-dial I figured people should read this thread before making a decision to purchase and judge for themselves.

I concur, a bit late yes, but the screws are terrible and I'm not even an AP expert. Also we have the same problem with the rest, sunken datewheel it appears.

Our local pawn shop is chock full of fake and stolen Rolex's etc. I met the owner at a function about a year ago. I offered to authenticate any watch he thought was questionable for $25 a pop. Easy beer money. He refused and said his guys were good. So I took in my Omega 300m rep when I knew he wouldn't be in. I'm in sales and a good actor. I said I got it as a gift, didn't really know much about it or what it was worth - played dumb. One of his "top guys" offered to buy it off me for $1250 figuring he was going to make a steal. They're morons with a license to loan-shark. I didn't bother calling the guy to let him know. They look at eBay and flip a coin.

I know, and 90% of the time not mine either - but I do like this one, what do you think of the quality and proximity to 1:1?

I really love this watch (the genuine) and I'm really really hoping for a quality rep... What do you think of this? http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&products_id=14113 No way I could ever throw $30k at a Rolex... but I'd happily wear the quality rep, what do you all think?

someone got the bones of a great franken in that sale, but hopeully didn't pay over $1k

Any reputable local jeweler will easily replate for you when needed.

You would be quite pleased with this: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_115&product_id=1660 Let us know when you get it, and send some pics!

That is clearly the same handwriting... This guy's nuts. Persecution complex? Does he think we're of poor intellect? I too popped over to RWI to check on this and it seems very, very fishy indeed. We don't need anymore scammers. Busted.

Nothing came up for me?

I'm willing to bet for reasonable $$$ MyManMatt could put a solid piece together for you...

One of the least scary watches ever lol
