mja300 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=171179575468 Thoughts guys? No mention in ad that it's a rail dial, so either the seller isn't aware or it is a replica? The case back doesn't look right to me and the hour markers look a little small. I'm willing to be told otherwise by the more informed on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Really have to ask? With 0 feedback he could be selling anything for any price and I wouldn't touch it!! Trust first purchase second. Yes it's a rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Not a rail dial and not a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 First off this is not a rail dial. Rail dials have even spacing the E in Superlative and the Y in Officially are lined up directly above and below each other, the same with the C in Chronometer and the C in Certified. SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED AFA the watch, the dial is definitely suspect, the dial indices at 6 and 9 are too thin, and I'm suspicious of the shine on all the plots, this is either an aftermarket dial that someone has vintigized, or a refinished gen dial. Before putting down money for this one, I would have to see the movement, and a closer look at everything including the insides of the lugs to see the serial number, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mja300 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I suspected as much, just wanted confirmation. The seller is claiming to be a Swiss watch specialist. I'm currently seeking a gen great white so I'm learning all the time. Vintage rolex is a bug that's recently hit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 If you're looking for a gen great white go to vrf. Not eBay or ioffer or anything like that. You never know what you're getting from those places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that you go over to the Vintage Rolex market and look there. the watches that are sold there are very carefully vetted by members who are very knowledgable. you won't have to worry about buying a fake Rolex there, and while the prices aren't cheap, the watches are priced in line with their rarity and condition.

frankt Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Whoever first quoted the 'fool and his money' proverb must have known that Ebay would eventually evolve!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mja300 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I have no intention of using eBay to part with my hard earned. This was purely an educational exercise. It's actually given me extra confidence in identifying non legit goods. The vintage rolex market looks good but seems to be mainly USA based sellers. I'm in the UK and there's not many sellers UK based from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
