dbutlerman Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 I found this 93150 and I wanted to get some expert opinions on it. I am still trying to figure out any tells on fake 93150's so how does this look? It looks a little stretched - but I am not sure how much stretch is normal for these. Compared to my NOS Omega 1171 - doesn't look like much stretch at all - what do you guys think?
Tribal Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 That's a lot of stretch I think! Can't see the coronet on the clasp exactly. Maybe Gen.
dbutlerman Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 That's all I needed to hear! Thanks man! Based on the prices of decent Gens, I think I'll be sticking with my Yuki 93"2"50....
alligoat Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 It's at least medium stretch, but it is gen. I look at the flat top 3 in 93150, and the thinner coronet on the back of the clasp. The W6 on the inside of the clasp denotes a later production date- late 90's. Considering these run around a grand new, a used one like this will run$300-500, maybe more if the seller is proud of their stuff.
dbutlerman Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 That's right where the price is. I I think I'll be stick with my yuki for the moment, maybe I'll pickup a Gen Glasp...anybody here have any leads on one?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 got a gen clasp a few months back on ebay for $130. seller mislabeled it and it didnt attract any attention. but it was a perfect 93150 clasp!
dbutlerman Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 Dang! That's what I'm talking about! Now I just need to find one
txrob779 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Shoot man...here on Dallas at DGSE they sell Italian Oysters for $150...just swap out the clasp and go....I have bought many an Italian Rolex bracelets in my time. Rob
woof* Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 I don't have much to donate to this discussion, but after buying some gen clasps..I can tell a gen clasp from rep in two seconds. The hinge pins in the middle are almost 1/4th the size of the our reps. I'll try to take some of my famous cheap loupe taped to my iPhone pics tomorrow. I got a couple more clasps today and noticed the size difference. Today's clasps are both 78360's, one is NOS I got for 68$
bwhitesox Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Remember also that there are some very good fakes 93150's coming out of Hong Kong that are almost 100% on the money...With flat top 3's as well.

bruce79 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Looks gen to me. I'd spend $300 on it, not $500 though. They can be had in near mint condition for $500-$600.

Agreed, I'd pay 300$ for that too. As you said.... mint on vrf go 5-600$ Even on eBay, one in that condition would be vrf prices
bwhitesox Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 For sure $300 is a great price... do tell... i havnt seen one. If I remember I think Nanuq posted about these a while ago.
alligoat Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 If I remember I think Nanuq posted about these a while ago. I remember Nanuq posting about rep 9315's a year or so ago, but not a rep 93150.
flex Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 havent seen a good rep 93150. but that's a lot of stretch there.. maybe sticking to your rep bracelet maybe a better idea..

dbutlerman Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Posted September 28, 2011 Nice pick up. I need a 78360 for my dads gmt. Where'd you find it?
UT Horn Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 here is a quick pic of the size of the hinge pins, gen vrs rep to the right of quarter... skinny gen pin and on right rep hinge pin That is a great tell. Thanks for the pics and info.
gavidoc Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 Remember also that there are some very good fakes 93150's coming out of Hong Kong that are almost 100% on the money...With flat top 3's as well. So they do both flat top and round top 3's? Always wondered about that. I have 2 gens. One is a flat top 3 that came on my 16800. The other is a round top 3 that came on a 5513 I owned. Both gen.
Mapman57 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Posted June 6, 2012 Interesting debate here..... I assume the prices you quote do not include the gen end links as none are shown? These alone can add substantially to the price/cost - especially if 585's! Certainly looks a gen bracelet and clasp as others have said. I have never seen a rep 93150 with flat 3 on the oyster link or for that matter seen a Gen 93150 with rounded 3 on the clasp. Rounded 3's have appeared on Gen 78360 clasps. If anybody has a verified 'Rep' oyster with flat 3s on the oyster end link, please share with us all
