misterlau78 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Is this rollie now considered a super rep?
irolexu Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Love it but the mis-matching hands bother me
agentoso74 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Love it but the mis-matching hands bother me You meant the mismatch of the lume?
508-Fanatic Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 You meant the mismatch of the lume? Yeah - the mismatch of the lume on hands nad 12 indicator versus the rest bugs me.
sgtguk Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 It's certainly something that will need a mod, lume that is but fortunately we have some great guys on here to do it ! 1
wiz83 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) I have a gen, and I'm comparing the the picture of V5 here with my gen, and I have to admit, there's not a single flaw, except for one. The only flaw on it is on the deployany clasp's safety buckle, the part with the Rolex crown logo on it. This rep's Rolex crown doesn't look as refined compared to my gen. The rest looks exactly the same. As for the color, I can't tell, because gen Rolex uses Steelinox, and I've seen some other reps, they seemed a little yellower, but I can't really tell from image. As for the lume, I can't really tell neither, unless it's side by side. I'm tempted to purchase this rep, but I already have a rep, so it defeats the purpose of it. But I'll wait till GMT-Master 2 gets as close a rep as this is. EDIT: After reading another post by Legend, I've paid extra attention to the dial's LOGO and OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE wordings. There are flaws (I don't think it's major, but worth taking note of), the P on PERPETUAL isn't aligned to the O of ROLEX. The ROLEX's font is a bit off. R's bottom right serif on gen is extended a little to the right, whereas the rep v5 only extends to the left. The L on ROLEX's L's serif extends too high, almost to the extent that it's almost as high as the E's middle line. On the gen, it's shorter. Even ROLEX's X's serif is wrong, the gen extends to the right, and just a little to the left (lower right part). Somehow, they've got Rolex's wording fonts wrong. Is it major, you guys decide.

misterlau78 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 What's wrong with the alignment of "P" of Perpetual to the "O" of Rolex? It seems spot on according to the gen photo above.
rillz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 What's wrong with the alignment of "P" of Perpetual to the "O" of Rolex? It seems spot on according to the gen photo above. I think the biggest flaw is the rehaut engravings though... should be two lines, now its just etched "thick" letters(pic is of gen)
sgtguk Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Tbh I think your really only gonna notice the engraving under a macro lens, gives you something to insist on when your buying a gen too lol can you imagine the look on an AD sales guys face when you do so just kidding !
testhm Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Hi, could a rolex rep expert please comment on this watch. Is it worth buying? From which dealer to order if shipping is to Germany? What is a fair price tag?
sgtguk Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Available after the CNY from most dealers I would imagine mate, whether its a good rep is up to you tbh plenty info around the forum on these though.
rillz Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Where does one purchase this? Watches, Clothing & Accessories
DerekT Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Who should I buy this V5 from? BK or Toro? Thanks.
Rudy4010 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 I been laying back for years now waiting on the rep factories to rep a better ceramic! But I may have to come out and play in the future with this one! Best I seen yet! ...I could build a nice watch out of this! Thrown a gen dial genbezel assembly with insert ,Gen crown gen crystal..And call it a day! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
dusk Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 B-E-A UTIFUL! Like night and day compared to the old ceramic insert.
GOATmaster Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Personally I think the v5 is a major step backwards from the v4
Mendota Explorer Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) ^ In what way? Besides the elongated SEL in the new V5 bracelet, which can be solved by getting a V4 bracelet, what do you see as a major step back? Edited March 7, 2015 by Mendota Explorer
