508-Fanatic Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 It has fingerprints on it.... Real Rolex watches are impervious to fingerprints, scratches, nicks and/or any form of dirt collection. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc1221 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 the hands, the dial, the insert, the rehaut, The date, the crown, the LEC, the cyclop.. all scream rep. 99% of the population wouldnt notice though. its just us watch geeks that scrutinize every detail.

lee231090 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks for pointing these out to me i cant notice them myself oviously more research needed .... Not as good quality as i thought then or as the seller described :/ ... Is there any household items i could use to get the back off to check if its the right movement to what the seller described to me or do i need the proper tool thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 ball of duct tape will get most rep case backs off. this is why i prefer the 16610 subs. the ceramic is REALLY hard to rep. too many noticeable tells even on the best reps. honestly though, if you sit there and look for tells on a rep, youre gonna find them on even the best reps. you dont wanna go down that rabbit hole. you cant come back. just enjoy the watch for it is. most people will never know the tells. besides, everyone assumes a rolex is fake anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee231090 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ok so i got the back off thanks for the tip .... Can anyone identify if thos is a 2836-2 movement thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 That looks like a 21j... Aka the cheapest movement in reps. On the plus side, they're fairly reliable. Hope you didn't pay a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee231090 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks bc1221 ... So is there no chance that this could be a 2836-2 clone movement and definitly an 21j cheap chinese copy or is it to hard to tell from the pics thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 That is a 21j for sure buddy. It's never seen 2836 ever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I hope you didn't buy that from one of the TDs. Idk why but I'm thinking you bought that in person. If that happens to you again, there's a quick and easy way to check if it's a shitty 21j movement or a eta clone. Set the time. One single turn on a 21j will get you 90mins. 45 on etas and eta clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee231090 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I bought it from an online seller who claimed it was a 2836-6 clone in the description and believed everything until i managed to get the back off the watch feels nice quality in the hand and has a noce weight to it .... But yes unfortunately ive been well and truly scammed ... Atleast ill know for future reference ive contacted the seller back but hes not replying no more .... After looking through a few forums it seem im not the only person whos recieved a nn 2813 peice of crap instead of the advertised 2836 :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc1221 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It happens to the best of us. At least you got something. Plenty of scammers don't even send you anything. Stick with the TDs next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
