glight2000 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Guys, I've been searching for a gen bezel assembly for a new Franken I recently purchased from wiseguy. My search yielded this eBay seller in India that has a gen dial and bezel set for $800. This seems like a great price, but feels risky. He would not sell me just the bezel assembly. I'd be grateful for your expert eyes to determine whether these look like the real deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Date-SUBMARINER-Ref-116610-Dial-Ceramic-Bezel-/390844777033?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b002a0249 Note: The seller has multiple sets.

Beone21 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Do not know if these are gen, but if they are its a very nice deal. so I am interested in this too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero_Dave Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't know either, but he's got a very good rating and has sold other parts at a great deal. If these are real, this price is outstanding! Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The stuff seems gen but the prices are weird low and he has so many sets it boggles my mind. If it seems to good to be true, it prob is right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 From what I've gathered they are legit pieces. The dial is an MK2 which is whats found in the v3 noob. Now if you buy and received the pictured parts is another story. I am very tempted to pull the trigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glight2000 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Dave: he also has 100% positive feedback. Cc33 and ceocorona: I simultaneously worry that it's too good to be true and yet also remain tempted to pull the trigger. I've asked the seller to confirm authenticity and will report back his response.

dbane883 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm willing to volunteer as a guinea pig if someone will split it with me. I only want the bezel/insert assembly if someone only needs the dial. He will not split them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glight2000 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The seller confirmed authenticity. With great trepidation, I pulled the trigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceocorona Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I am tempted to join you in this purchase… Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glight2000 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm learning that these bezels are a [censored] to find. On the plus side, the seller guaranteed authenticity and has 100% positive feedback on 300 transactions. After purchasing, however, I got a call from paypal asking me to confirm the purchase, which I did. That did not raise my confidence level. I'd love to hear more from the experts on this forum as to whether these are actually genuine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think nobody should buy any more until glight gets his and confirms it's what we saw in the pics. That's the safest thing to do imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I doubt they'll last long. Three left now... Hmm decisions decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you must have it just pay with Paypal (not gift) and record the box being opened maybe to make sure all is ok, Paypal backs the buyer more so it's a risk but not a huge one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've just bought a set! If I was more confident I would buy them all!!! The Gmt sets are not quite as good a deal as they are more popular. Now I need a v3 noob!! Shame he has not got Deepsea inserts!! Indians and especially Dehli like their bling and there is serious wealth there to mod gen watches with Diamonds etc! The wait begoins for me and my fellow member!! or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yep, If this turns out well he will wish he had charged more! The dial will go for that alone and I only want the insert and bezel assembly to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
