Seacraft Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'll judge. The cases are some of the better rep cases, not entirely sure which case. They are not gen though. I have not looked at every listing but the many I have looked at have the same flaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basketbob951 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Let me guess... They both claimed to have the best sub right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Already done, same BS that he wrote on the item description : His grandfather was a watchmaker and he has a big load of rolex vintage parts since 2011....

lionsandtigers Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 These cases have been discussed here before. They are rep cases. They look very good, but not gen, he has done a great job with photos and staging. I have seen major red flags about purchasing watchs/watch parts from Italy. He has great feedback, which was at 0 about 2 months ago. Guess you'd have to just hold your nose and jump in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysaleman Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) My 4th cousin in Guangzhou named 'Paul' left me a big load of rolex vintage parts too.

Plus a couple 'Ultimate! Submariners' from his Crazy Sale! Paul was all right. bb951: "Let me guess... They both claimed to have the best sub right ?"

candide2424 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Whatever, the bids end up quite high in my opinion. Are those cases worthy of the price every winner pays for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam007 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I wonder if he has a Vietnamese connection! So what is the tell on these cases that they are rep? 1. The engravings are wrong. Look at the I in REGISTERED and DESIGN. Look at the A in STAINLESS. Look at the 6 and 8. 2. There is no End Link wear evident between the lugs. 3. All his cases have the exact same font and no wear BUT have artificial vintage stains on them. Left are the Cases Sold by RRTVRN. Right are Gen Cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide2424 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 At least this guy provides stuff within EU. Buying from Yuki and his other colleagues is always tricky owing to customs issues. The markup is somewhat insane though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 The markup is somewhat insane though... There is no markup. It's the idiots who are bidding thinking it's real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 his cases look pretty good, i think he covers up most would be "tells" by over polishing those parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
