maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi A regular and established poster on TZUK has posted pics of her new white gold submariner which is now being questioned over its authenticity, what do the experts here think? Points that have been raised: - The indices look too thick - The cyclops magnification seems odd - The pearl position looks misaligned on its triangle - First minute marker on the bezel seems too close to the pearl triangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praetor Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 wow yea... the lume application looks terrible and so is the pearl. Funny how the green one looks like a noobmariner. Don't you think the owner would've realized very quickly that the white gold sub should be heavier than a stainless steel one? I wonder who's trying to take who as a chump?

ExtraExtra Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 You would think that Rolex QC would get the obvious flaw on the pearl....so I would have the say that definitely a rep....only the QC in the pearl room next to the dust and wool QC would pass this one.

danielv2000 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Forget the blue sub. This woman tattoos genitals for a living??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd say both are replicas to be honest. The single biggest tell is the area at the base of the hour hand. It's always so much larger in circumference than gen handsets it seems. Plus of course all the other little tells that they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blix Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Ceramic blue is definitely fake. Just look at the hour hand base - it's about twice as big as it should be. http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/116619LB_S12541.htm what are the chances, huh. Just in case you hadn't spotted it: the hour hand is not visible in the sales pictures. Edited August 4, 2011 by blix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z80 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah, they both look like reps. I don't see AR on the cyclops of the blue one, the pearl sucks, the lume markers look wrong and the hour hand looks too thick. "She" could never have been duped into buying a rep at gen prices as the gen white gold would weigh a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 No need to look at anything other than the hour hand. It's a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
