Johnkaz Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Dammit. Now I have to get out my grinder and take these lousy engravings off. I seem to remember you using a 4x4 to do some mods to a rep, maybe that would work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I seem to remember you using a 4x4 to do some mods to a rep, maybe that would work! Well, even I have to admit a 4x4 is a little over the top. Sometimes it takes a bit more finesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 This bit made me laugh: "Many fake Panerais come with the code E0117/1950 on the back" Yeah, the good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I feel ripped off, I just checked all my PAM casebacks, and not one has the E0117/1950 serial number Lots of H0035s though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottosaurus Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Everyone knows that the superior super silent Rolex batteries are the secret behind not making a ticking noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Rolex watches do not make a ticking sound Meanwhile Cartier watches ... also boast a cabochon stone on the winder: ...while rip-off Breitlings often have logos which are printed rather than embossed onto the dial Ever wear a Gen 1575 powered Rolex? I can hear my 1603 from inches away. Hmmm, I swear I have seen many without. Recent Navitimer logos ARE printed. What do they mean by embossed (isn't that something you do to clothing).

Jkay Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 The goober who wrote this story confused the saying "tick" as in the jerky way a quartz watch moves with "tick" the word used to describe a sound. He is parroting info he has no grasp of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
