lecatt Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Found this whilst trawling the net, the lack of knowledge by sellers in the 'real' watch game, of rep watches, really suprises me! Wonder where he ordered from - made to order in 3 weeks My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarin.72 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Wow!!! all the things we didn't know about fake Rolex watches 1. Rolex watches are fitted with a sapphire crystal (the glass face of the watch) that can only be scratched with a diamond. 6. If you remove a Rolex bracelet you should find the watch’s case number and model number engraved on the side at six o’clock and 12 o’clock . 4. The genuine Rolex movement sweeps smoothly round at about 28,800 revs per hour – each second is broken down into eight steps. Even when a fake uses a Swiss-made movement, the second hand’s ticking is usually visibly jerky. So i guess my old school noob 16570 must be a gen according to these statements!!! The left one could have fooled me though...sels are so nicely done I really love articles like this one!!! Thanks for sharing L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxus Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 And for all we know, he is current member of RWG and is the proud owner of many "genuine" replica's..You know , the Ultimate _________. I find it funny that he mentiones that those 2 watches having swiss movements when for all intent purposes are Asian 21j powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Rase in platinum price perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Platinum_prices_91-07.JPG You might be right if that graph continues on it's last trajectory! I wonder how much platinum is in/on a dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarin.72 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 You might be right if that graph continues on it's last trajectory! I wonder how much platinum is in/on a dial? The YM bezel is also made of platinum as well and since this is a ROLEX regardless the quantity of this precious metal used what you pay are the marketing costs and the brand name.But this is a long long story!!! And i agree that this kind of price difference in two years time is kinda strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
