Propofol Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Any thoughts about this 1675 case ?OEM or Vietnam connection?He sold many pieces and everyone is satisfied but I always wonder how some guys can grab so much vintage cases in such good conditions ..https://www.ebay.com/itm/272367170920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I believe this has been discussed in the past. Iirc the consensus was the cases are genuine but maybe/probably restored by laser welding/grinding/polishing or other means. http://rwg.cc/topic/173239-opinion-needed-on-these-gen-5513-and-1680-cases/#comment-1366066 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 "The one from Propofol's link is selling fake cases." Thanks, I did not know that. It may be just me but I would rather have a first class replica case than a welded up/ground down/buffed out case for a watch I was going to wear and not resell. Seems (to me) if potential buyers knew the truth about welded cases on 'genuine' vintage rolex watches they would not be inclined to buy the watch. The way I see it, welded cases are like a car that has been put together from a total wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The Italian guy's cases are Fake/rep. I forget his name. Starts with an "M" I think, but he's like the Phong of Italy. In fact, I think he takes phong cases and then reworks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of his cases that I have seen on eBay have been great looking. Too bad he tries to pass them off as genuine on there, especially since he readily offers to make you whatever vintage case you want if you email him. His site is http://marcellocomezzi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
