hi i was just wondering.. one of the biggest tell of a rep sub is the fact that the m on 300m and the chronometer should line up.. however on the rolex forum someone posted this pic and in the same forum no1 commented that it was a fake.. in fact to me it looks pretty good.. is there some kind of dial variation?

offcourse a rep 127E with 24k extra money

lol i think by the time my mod is finished (around 1 month to go im guessing).. my 3717 would look like this!!! sorry The Zigmeister i have to use ur pic notice how now the hour markers are closer to the gen.. infact i don't know how to tell the difference now??

wewewewewewe

change to eta datewheel n ull have a mad rep.. 99.999999999999999999% to gen

i want a modded 127 though from twp .. but he hasnt replied to meeeee

what he said lol

hey vic.. yeh just been reading on that too.. i heard there's a flaw about the assymetrical pushers placement on that watch.. but i guess for that price it doesnt matter.. another one im considering is the 116520 (white face that you wanted) but with the lemania movement.. but the caseback on that is not so good too.. does anyone know if the solid caseback from secs@6 will fit into the lemania version? thanks

hi.. i woke up today and suddenly the thought of owning one vintage rollie just hit me.. so now i've decided that i will buy a vintage rollie.. i love the look of the 6263 daytona.. but i'm not really familiar with the watch itself.. is there any big glaring flaws with the 6263 daytonas that are offered by the chinese dealers? and if so.. what is the closest out of the box vintage rollies out there? thanks for all your help

i owned one of these and also handled the gen (my watchsmith wears the gen).. and i heard someone said something about the difference in finish (reps being sharp blablabla).. i've held both in my hand.. and the feel of the bracelet and "edge" feels pretty similar to me.. i know rolex bracelets are sharp but these days breitling, iwcs and tag bracelets in reps are matched to gens.. anywho to the watch itself.. one of the glaring flaw is yes the datewheel itself.. but that's a quick swap.. and another is the subdial spacing.. ohh and if one knows what an eta7750 looks like and you expose the back.. then it's a tell!

just read the rest of the post.. yes i agree with the others.. to avoid bias.. after the reviews.. the reviewer should put the watch forward to the board for an auction.. this way everyone have an equal chance to own the watch AND no bias in the reviews.. coz hell like i said if a 'reviewer' gets a free watch.. I WOULD LOVE to be a reviewer.. which isnt that hard imo to do a review.. and claiming that i'm "unbiased'.. ive done it before.. and for a free watch im willing to do it

can i sign up to be a reviewer? coz i would literally do a side by side gen reviews.. if i get watches for free.. but NOOOO never gonna happen is it? so don't worry about it..

i live in adelaide.. you can request a re-delivery i think.. thats how i do it

even with that side by side.. unless ur really looking and told that there is a diff.. i doubt i can notice the diff

must be one rough person eh? .. i didnt know a piece of watch could injure someone LOL must be a new trick that i dont know about ..

well i got a phone call from the post office today saying that there is a package for me from switzerland, that they tried to deliver earlier but i wasn't home to receive it!! anyway i was shocked because i never ordered anything from swiss... but anyway i told them to deliver it and received it today.. and when i opened the package, look what it is!! i don't know if any of you have heard about the brand cimier, but i once read on the magazine that cimier swiss is in the top 50 watch manufacturer in the world, and eventhough they're not really known in asia region, apparently they are big in europe and america.. well the letter said that i won this watch as a token of appreciation.. i don't know what this means, but must've been some kind of raffle (as i bought one of their watch last year).. anyway here are some pics.. and info about the watch! - Model Ref.: 6101-SS021 'Seven Seas Windrose' - Functions: Chronograph, special day and date indication, bezel with 2nd time zone indication - Movement: Decorated automatic movement Valjoux 7750 - Case: Stainless steel, brushed/polished, black bezel - Dimension: 43 mm - Crystal:Sapphire crystal with antireflection coating on the inside - Crown: Screw-in - Case back: Sapphire crystal see-through, fixed with screws - Water resistance: 10 ATM - Dial: Black - Retail Price: $2980 here are some pics.. comments would be appreciated =D

yes that would be me mam.. at the end of the day it's still a rolex.. as far as being old concern.. i don't really care?

i took it back to an AD and they said they will send it to rolex and take care of everything.. so i'm guessing they will clean it up as well as do a movement overhaul.. which also means lining up the dial properly?

no offence taken mate.. don't hate the watch, hate the price.. and as to selling it and buy something decent.. i think presidential daydate is one of the most expensive lines in the rolex brand.. so i'm thinking it's decent enough for me..

close but no cigar.. actually it's surprising that only 2 got it right.. the watch itself is actually gen.. it was bought in early 1990's.. but you're correct about the bezel.. bezel is aftermarket however the rest is gen.. as for the bracelet as far as i'm concern there is no plating worn either, everything is solid gold 18k (look at the first 2 pics, no plating worn there nor diff colours between the case).. the green stuff on between the links is lighting.. if you look at the first pic it's not there! its also been worn for nearly 20 yrs everyday and never been cleaned hence why it looks dirty.. and the movement itself is being overhauled by rolex right as we're speaking.. when i get it back i will post pics of the movement.. as for crooked dial, believe it or not.. this is what i've been discussing most of the time with people nitpicking misalignment of bezel, dials, datewheel.. ITS A MYTH BECAUSE ROLEX TOO, SOMETIMES PUTS THINGS CROOKED.. even in AD's! i've seen alot of crooked datewheels, bezels, etc. does this make them fake?? but yeah all in all i'm surprised that only 2 people have this correct.. while the rest of you think it's a rep.. i'm not sure whether the rep itself is very accurate that not many people know the difference or ...? so really 2 people's dong is bigger than the rest! look where nitpicking got all of us to? guessing the wrong thing LOL

state your reason too!

hi for the experts here and hawk eyes.. i've heard that everyone in here knows their reps and gens.. so this is a time to check our knowledge.. is this gold daydate a gen or rep? if so state why!? i will tell you the answers later =p

827

that's not good =(.. this is why i hate the secs @ 6

neill you're smart.. i guess if i tried saying what you said i would've convinced him that it was real.. but eh at the time i was halfway of wanting to tell him it's a rep.. but after his remarks i felt like i shouldn't tell him because obviously if i told him he would literally make fun of me infront of the whole party saying "HAHAHA THIS GUY WEARS A FAKE ROLEX BUT HE DRIVES A MERC!" along the lines of that..
