Rolexaddict Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 A friend of mine sent me these pics, he wants to sell this Explorer II, What do you think, its a gen or a rep ? I noticed it has the correct hands stack, I think so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickdick Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Looks genuine indeed, not shure about the crystal tho. Looks aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) CHS version rep. Bezel slope is wrong as is the cyclop and DW font, Edited March 22, 2012 by correctime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexaddict Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 C'est un véritable carnet Titouan Lamazou ! Same style watercolour, but not T.Lamazou When I was flying and living in Tahiti, the back grandfather of a friend was Jacques Boullaire, a painter best friend of Paul Gauguin, this is a Jacques Boullaire drawings notebook More J.Boullaire drawings tomorrow, I have originals charcoal sketches CHS version rep. Bezel slope is wrong as is the cyclop and DW font, All Rolex bezel slopes are vrong, I must admit that lot of modded reps and frankens are nicer than gens, But this watch is a genuine, I have it at home for some services and a cristal replacement, thats right, the cristal is not original, but the watch is a genuine, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hehehe... that crystal was throwing me waaay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks for sharing Brother. The crystal would indeed account for the DW appearance...the font looks off to me but the cyclop must be the cause of that. Bezel slopes are wrong on gens?? Which ones?? I have a gen F series Exp.II, a gen 16570 bezel (off a D series) on a BK Noob Exp.II and a Noob Exp.II bezel and they seem to have the exact same slope. Actually, the only difference I see in them is the paint used for the engraving fill...the gen filling the engraving to come flush with the bezel BUT...the gen F series needs a mvt.....and yours will fit just fine. THAT'S a beauty of a mvt. there Edited March 22, 2012 by correctime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
