Sharky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 HAHAHA... if thats a rep i want it....NOW....!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanx Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Not a datejust expert, but looks really nice... Just picked up a roman silver dialed daydate myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I agree, looks pretty good to me, too. Date mag is good, fills the cyclops correctly. Fluted bezel looks good, case is fine. I don't see how anyone could call you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'm not sure about the case, but I think that is a gen dial. The roman numerals on the rep dials don't look quite right, and to me those do. However, you have the hour hand conveniently covering the O in ROLEX, which is usually a deciding factor for me.

Hey, Was wondering where you got that rep from? and for how much Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think its a gen too, or at least a 100% real dial, that thing is a stunner!!! Dial detail is simply too amazing for a rep and if it is.....I'll get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Errrr I mean nice rep. I'll give you $250 for it. Deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 One could always put together a frankenstein... Like this one that I put together for my father: Genuine case, dial, crown with ETA movement and Tudor hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 ok ok you guys are dam good! ubi......i think you may have worked at the rolex factory at one point in time.... it's a gen and to be honest.... most if not all of my reps are of higher quality i'm sorry to say! the hollow endlinks don't fit right, the bracelet is flimsy, the dial looks decent but nowhere near as nice as my speedy triple date, the crystal comes with no AR coat. the truth is. i would be willing to bet that most rep rolexes are of better quality than the genuine! i think the works of ubi are more impressive than the works of rolex. i do like the way the clasp folds very tightly but other than that..... build a franken if you like this watch. much more satisfying and it may most likely come out nicer than this. i think the latest datejust with the solid links bracelet is a whole lot nicer and much heavier as well. this is an "f" series and was picked up for a low price as it needed restored. the finish was very scratched up and dirty from daily use. i polished, buffed, rubbed, cleaned and now it's again like new. funny thing is i know nothing about dial/date fonts and can seldom tell any difference even side by side. if i had this in one hand and a rep in the other.... i may choose the rep as the genuine! i bought and sold a rep solid TT TOG from joshua and it's quality was much higher. now that this is clean and polished.... what do i do with a 36mm watch??? LOL! One could always put together a frankenstein... Like this one that I put together for my father: Genuine case, dial, crown with ETA movement and Tudor hands... your looks better than mine! awesome work randy as usual.....

flavor flav Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Nice work on the gen Flav Defintely a keeper, not all ladies love chunky watches and sportscars looks rediculis (did i spell that even close to right) on my wrist! almost like a ladies watch. i need a few links to wear it anyway but i'll flip it instead most likely.

flavor flav Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 [ and ALL ladies love big watches and sportscars! except my wife but that's another story LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think you've done a great job on shining that one up, ff! If you picked that one up for lower than fair market, I think you could stand to make a nice, tidy little profit from flipping! P.S. The dial/hand combination is one of my favorites....
