elprimerozen Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Every body says that you can identify a REP from the wrong crystal ,wrong crown guards ,wrong mgnification,and every body are saying abaut the wrong PEARL on the bezel of the submariner!!!and a lot more flaws.. but nobody speaks about the most specific problem which is the wrong wrong sels to all of them(gmt,submariners,explorers ,datejust.......)exept Daytonas(2005-2006)..daytona sels are made with 3 pieces so they are incredibule accurate....all the athers are one piece and very low in details!you can spot ALWAYS a fake only by looking at the sels on the bracelet..you dont need to take the watch in your hand to tell its a rep.. only by looking you can tell the difference!the only sel that i have seen that almost fits the standars of a gen sel its Josh Perfect Seadweller....you can always do some mods to make it better ..but not all of us have the time to do something like that...If the rep world keeps making these crap sels you will always say that the watch is a rep nomater if the dials are perfect or the magnification or something else..Thanks for reading and my best regards to all!...ps: as for the bezel...we all know what the problem is Thanks.

Wow you've got two of my short term goals there, the Le Locle 7750 Tissot and the Oris Titan. Do you like the Le Locle? I thought the T-lord 7750 automatic looked better with the large crown and flattened pushers. That Oris is a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 SEL, SEL SEL ohhhhhhhh solid end links- i thought the biggest problem is that they weren't waterproof. i bet george has sol - nevermind couldn't resist. How exactly are you supposed to spot SEL's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Shape of the SEL is also important. Most are too big- Specifically, the outer ends of the SEL, and how they fit within the lugs. They should look like this- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
