indywatchguy Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The cyclops looks off and the date font is not bold enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I agree that the pearl looks weird. Insert can be aftermarket or whatever but the watch is definitely genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike@tommys Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
