Brightight Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I received this yesterday and thought it hilarious. No source mentioned at present so please don't speculate in public as I will not confirm or deny. A replacement is on its way to me shortly with profuse apologies from the dealer concerned, I'll be able to confirm then that this was a one-off - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Keep it, may be worth something later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Try to locate a Gelena Shitinerand caseback and youll have quite a collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Gelena Shitinerand caseback That's funny - I just googled that one. Never seen it before - I am now checking all of my old crappy reps for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think I have one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 All my old reps have blank case backs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Really? I had a few of Gelenas inside my old crappy 21j Daytonas. They all had 24HR Daytona Winner casebacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Keep it, may be worth something later. just like some versions of misprinted US coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thats cool i would keep that for sure!!! If not send it to me! I love things like that. I can see how a dealer would miss that when/if they do QC. Not his fault. QC is prob more concerned about date wheels, time keeping, bracelets falling off etc dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I wonder what it would be worth if it was gen? Can you imagine some bored Rolex worker slipping one clasp in upside down for the Rolex stamp, you know just for shits and giggles, but actually makes a priceless collectors item...

TeeJay Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 As Ken's said, if that was a gen item, it would be priceless As a rep item, it's still awesome for its uniqueness, that would definitely be a keeper for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I wouldn't have guessed someone had to feed these in the machine by hand with the correct side facing whatever way. I had that happen to a Breitling clasp. I was befuddled that this could happen, but then, I was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
