indywatchguy Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 Hello Gents, Check out this eBay listing. Is it me or it this a replica and bad one at that! The pearl is hideous! http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SUBMARINER-50TH-ANNIVERSARY-16610LV-MINT-COMPLETE-WITH-BOXES-AND-PAPERS/360676850844?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D8496584489995847805%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D4%26sd%3D321146471515%26
indywatchguy Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Posted June 19, 2013 Possible aftermarket insert? Looks gen to me.nice sel fit too
indywatchguy Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 The cyclops looks off and the date font is not bold enough.
alligoat Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Looks ok to me!Pearls are tough to photographThis is a 3 tick dialDate font looks fine to meKeep studying this stuff- I can't even remember the various iterations of the LV dial and when they occurred! Rolex does change stuff all the time
By-Tor Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 I agree that the pearl looks weird. Insert can be aftermarket or whatever but the watch is definitely genuine.
Mike@tommys Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Looking closer at the photos you can see what might be glue at the bottom of the pearl and to the top left of the triangle.could well be after market insert.
indywatchguy Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 Cool thanks for your input fellas!
SSTEEL Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Things that look off to me, highlighted by yellow arrows. One of which is the bezel insert, its aligned perfectly at 12, but @6 30 is off. The pearl is strange. Also regarding the bezel insert, the fitting looks crazy off too. Also looks to have a DSSD Minute Hand. Seller states... The watch is 100% authentic ROLEX with absolutely no aftermarket parts on it. Something just don't seem right to me, and the seller has great feedback rating too. Edited June 20, 2013 by SSTEEL
janeto72 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 aftermarket bezel insert...all rest is gen..... 1
indywatchguy Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone else notice the cyclops is a bit off? You can only see the 6 and barely the 1.
indywatchguy Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Posted June 20, 2013 I don't know Janet as ssteel noted the seller makes it clear NO aftermarket parts. Something's a muck. aftermarket bezel insert...all rest is gen.....
SSTEEL Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone else notice the cyclops is a bit off? You can only see the 6 and barely the 1. Noticed that too. Something just don't seem right with this watch to me. Now if the seller took the time to take better, more professional photos, maybe this could clear things up one way or another. Or, the poor photos are to hide something? The listing is inaccurate for a start.
indywatchguy Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Posted June 21, 2013 Well not looking good for seller. I called him out on a couple of minor details we discussed and no reply yet.
