Could be! very hard to tell. 

Have a look at my TC V6 copy with gen insert and you will know what i mean

[Wactch101]

Any guesses?

The answer will be revealed shortly.....

[SSTEEL]

Rep, date wheel is left justified, plus cyclops looks off.

 

Also looks like the rounded TC Vintage Insert too, but maybe the lighting.

[Ezio]

My Guess is rep since i dont like cyclops like ssteel and date so

Rep it is

[Ezio]

And officially looks off to me to

[Wactch101]

Date isn't left justified. Just looks that way in these terrible photos as they are taken using an iPhone 5

[Wactch101]

So are you guys guessing rep because of the cyclops and bezel insert?

[Ezio]

Just tell us mate we aint in kindergarden my Guess still stands rep the finish looks off when you look at me gen

[Wactch101]

The bezel insert and crystal are gen, along with the crown. The rest is a rep.

It's a BK TW sub

[Ezio]

Good good you should get a Sean case as Said the finish on this looks of to gen but Hey its only a couple of hundred watch and a a gen is in thousands

[irolexu]

It's gen

[Ezio]

Look again mate its a rep

[irolexu]

How so

It was more than a couple of hundred. Has lasted years and years, a few bad drops but nothing that couldn't be easily fixed.

What's a Sean case? The only actual give away on this watch (if you no where to look) is the hand filed grown guards. Not that noticeable but still. A case upgrade might be nice.

Honestly, looks very gen to me had not my friend Ezio pointed out the "tell".. very nice watch. How much did you spend on this?

i knew it! i was going to say BK sub.

 

tells for me:

 

the way he shaves the crown guards, the date overlay and the rolex crown on the dial

You can't actually see any difference in the crown guards in the photos that I took due to the angle of the photos.

its the inner shape bk gives them, that was the primary tell for me before i even read that it was a bk sub

 

im not saying his is incorrect but thats just how i identified it as bks,

 

dial + date window and font confirmed the last 10%

 

TC

 

 

GEN

 

 

YOURS

[Wactch101]

Yea, I didn't realise it was noticeably different from that angle as well. I need some sort of a case upgrade.

[Ezio]
