Guest Sql_pl Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 From what I have read on forums I understand that gen 78350 bracelets always have flat top 3s, have a look at this one: Aftermarket? Or maybe gens had rounded 3s sometimes as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 the flat 3 to me is a myth so I am not sure about that. I know it has been discussed at length that 93150 should have flat 3. but some dealers have been selling the round 3 for many years. Those aftermarket bracelets are easily identifiable if held in person. so I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Has a flat three on the clasp lol... I am thinking they came with the rounded three on the bracelet but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Clasp and end links look fine, I don't know if that makes the bracelet correct, perhaps there have been some with these markings... Biggest questions for me is why does the seller think this thing is worth 50k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiesn089 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Haha, yeah. Honestly, you can almost buy two of these in immaculate condition for 50k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 A macro of the stamping would be helpful, but yours looks aftermarket. I have more experience with 7835s, so take this with a grain of salt, but I have only ever seen 78350s with flat-top 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It's not a Phong case there, is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centaur Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 At least that one has macros. Who wants to buy a 6538 with all shots far away? http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Vintage-Submariner-Big-Crown-6538-1958-/300543413635 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 You can get these on VRF for $25-30k. Mike wood is selling one right now and it would be a good example from a reputable collector. I think hes asking $30k for his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiesn089 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm with Chief here, lugs look a little bit long, definitely not a watch I would consider. edit.: On a second look they don't look too bad, I wouldn't buy it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
