Ylfig Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone sees anything off with this gen. Just took a pic with my phone - I'll try to add more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks OK to me, but I can't really see the dial. Bezel insert is fine, crown and tube look good, cg's also. Bracelet is correct from what I can see (should be a 93150 w/ I believe 501B ends). Opening up the caseback is always a good idea, but if the seller is reputable it's really not a big deal. Service history is another question. When I buy a used Rolex, I always figure in a price of a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 This is the best i could do with the dial now. It has that bracelet and end link nrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 still hard to determine with out angles. hands look odd, but could be the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Let's see if this one is any better FYI: E series ca '91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 14060M is more desirable but if it is a good price between $2400 and $3000 with boxes and papers go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 looks good to me. lets have a look at that bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Now you mention the hands look at the the thickness of the Y in the hour hand and compare it with the other picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well i least i know it's the same hour hand as i took both pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Consider-- There are no good/quality 14060 Replicas out there. If you open the back and it has a GEN movement, you are good. The dial size on these is also different from a 16610. It is smaller. I have said before, "serviceable parts" does NOT make a Rolex fake or less authentic IMHO. So, Hands, and Inserts alone are NOT ENOUGH to 'fail' a watch IMHO. Especially if it has ever been serviced by an independent watchsmith.

Ylfig Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah that's true. I have it with me so I'll open it up and check it out to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have it with me... why not take it to an AD to be 100% sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 If you can open the caseback, that's what I would do. Or take it to a independent watchsmith who can. Going to a Rolex AD is a somewhat risky proposition, IMO. First off, they could easily want to charge you $25-50 just to look at the watch. And if it needs to be serviced, figure $500 minimum. A good independent watchsmith should open and close the case as a courtesy and certainly can service the watch for $200-250. BTW, E series means service history is important- it is a 20 year old watch. Mechanical watches should be serviced every 5-6 years. And the tritium is getting old- how does it glow? But it looks good to me w/o opening the caseback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 The seconds hand look off to me, see how it ends is straight, it should be a little wider where it touches the dot and then narrow towards the end. take a look at this 16610 unless the 14060 has different hands.

Ylfig Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah, haven't been able to go to a watchsmith yet. With regards to the tritium there isn't much glow left at all. Just a little faint glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Opened it up and everything is good (as far as I can see at least). Now it will just stay on my arm I guess Now the question will really be; am i out of the rep game or will I get bored of the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cib0rgman Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I still think that the seconds hand is aftermarket, look a the picture below this is a 14060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeah it might be. I've been looking at pictures online and it seems that there are both versions around but that said it could still be aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 dont worry about it, i think youre fine. +1 As Rolex's parts distribution to independent watchmakers gets stricter and stricter, the use of aftermarket (note: aftermarket does not mean fake) parts will become more commonplace. Furthermore, without a macro photo or loop, no one is going to notice an aftermarket second hand while on your wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
