Broker1981 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's maybe just me, but that one looks about as gen as a three dollar bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) that is what I thought… The crown + the dial smell chinese Edited September 16, 2010 by docdoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It looks like a vintage Cali Oyster. Maybe the experts can tell from which era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's a Noobleback, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Kind of looks like this one: A Rolex 5048 (ChiMan12 just built something similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a redial of a genuine Bubbleback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 If it where real, it probably has lug-holes. The SELS looks fantastic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 If it where real, it probably has lug-holes. On a 1940s Bubbleback? Not on the crown side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 based on the lugs it's definitely a bubbleback, the dial definitely has been refinished...poorly. The crown might not be original Kinda looks like this one, but with a redial and different hands http://www.bubblebac...gories_cat_id=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wish some dealers have one available the back seems to look very nice (and bubbles !). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
