1665 Silix

[cousin_hub]

Hi

what do you think of the Rolex 1665 asian 21j version of Silix ? Good for 67$ ?

What are the flaws except the "Swiss Made" on the dial ?

Regards

notice how you werent sent a picture of the opposite side showing where the HEvalve would be? my guess is it probably doesnt have one.

the rehaut is also too shallow, making me think this is actually a 5513 case dressed up

Just checked it on his site and it does not have a HEV. Also the font of the caseback engraving is incorrect. I would add some $$ and get the 21j Cartel version for $118 instead.

Hi thanks

But on the website the pictures are not been updated and are not the same on the ROLS054 reference.

I asked Michelle some new pictures and she sent me these ones of the updated one by mail

I will asked her about the HEV again

Ah, OK. Well if the shallow rehaut and funky case back font does not bother you then go for it. It's only $67 and it will tell you what time it is!

just a question :

I read about shallow rehaut and so... o.k,

but : do you compare with gen stuff ? I mean, real consistant gen stuff or just pics from gen forums,

looks like here we have a certain way or no way,

pics can be very telling, the same way you determine if something is fake or not from a photo, the genuine piece looks a certain typical way in photos. if the pic youre looking at looks more different especially in critical areas it has warranted suspicion.

ive noticed the way watches look in person and in photos are completely different and can only be compared in the same manner. if you can spot a franken watch in person you may not be very good at determining its authenticity in photos and vice versa. its like when people say the photos dont do it justice or its really hard to capture that certain sparkle im trying to show you. compare photos with photos and in person with in person for more consistent results, one is 2D one is 3D, that alone makes a big difference.

Hi

Silix confirmed me that there is no HEV on this model :-(

Too bad

are you still going to buy it ?

[cousin_hub]

No I don't think so

[curlflash]

You have an 1665 with no valve : http://bjsonline.com/watches/articles/0012_1.shtml

easy to drill the case and install a cosmetic or working HEV

Install a SRSD-Dial and you got the rarer watch

Ok I did not know that :-)

Do you think the Silix one have a thinner case than the normal model ?

[modelizer]

Judging by the pics my guess is that it does have a slim case (5513 Sub'ish) which explains the shallow rehaut. So here's your chance to grab a nice price copy of this über rare 1665!
