lhooq Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Setting aside the rarity, the controversy over its authenticity, and the matter of the five zeroes... I find the color scheme unpleasant. There, I said it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looks better with the SS bezel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetor Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 well, from my experience of making dials (procrastinating so far), the controversy does have some fair basis. It would go nicely with a ferrari though. And this one easily wins and Arsenal fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Regardless of its Beverly Hills (pawn shop) location, it looks fakey (dial), fakey (case), fakey (bracelet) to me. I bet these 'Jewelers to the Stars' is where OJ got his gold Rolex Sub. But I do like the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Really not much to say other than ridiculous. Whether it is real or not - for that price I can probably buy one of Newman's race cars. Who needs a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hahahaha... OJ... I bet everyone of us with a fake Rolex has a better quality fake than his. Of course, that's essentially the difference between a REPLICA and a FAKE. We buy the good fakes, and they get the name REPLICA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackxv6 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Controversy about the dial color is true , but was if Rolex presented the 116520 with the red/white dial then I'll sign up. I wouldn't pay 300K (even it was in my pocket) for such a watch , don't like the Texas dial and colors. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 i tthink John Mayer will be all over this one. Personally, I like it. Rolex' silence on the existence of such a watch only adds to the mystery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I could be very tempted to bid but the hand on the bottom subdial does not set to zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexaddict Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I seen exactly the same 6263 with red Paul Newman dial at the Time-Addict store in Paris for 200k€ Time Addict, the shop rue St Honoré ? close to place de la Madeleine ? pfff... gangsters, scammers, my adjectives to qualify these people are weak.... Last week they have a rusted ans scratched 5512 in the window... 10.400 euros I went inside the shop and asked if there was a mistake about the price marked. The guy, arogant, looked at me, offended, like if I was a zombee nex time I go there, I bring my Pacificator (.45ACP ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
