Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Mens-Explorer-II...1QQcmdZViewItem Hmm ... in what way is it suspicious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm no Rolex expert, but that looks very 'sharp', if it's a rep I want to know the dealer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlickAK Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Yep that's LIKE the watch I have owned since 2005. Mentioned in the General Board that I was so happy as the ExplorerII never showed up on any replica website (only Datejust, Daytonas, Subs, YMasters, etc) Y series (same as mine) but it didn't come in a box like that? Looking at it, you won't be able to pick anything apart. The back, Reps have solved the flush lug situation that was around for many years. Feeling it in your hand and winding it yes. That will be the only tell. The brecelets no matter how perfect the look still feel "cheap" and jingly. Trying to dissect from the photos won't help for this watch Unless you can get the person (fat chance) do to a Superlume shot. Mine is freaking dayglow. I'll post up a pic soon.

spa Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) model 2005 with lugholes??? That's why i posted... EDIT: Y serial does not also justify the lugholes Edited March 23, 2007 by spa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlickAK Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Got mine in 2005 and it has lugholes and is Y series as well. I've had it been taken apart several times and is confirmed gen. Three years ago they didn't have a Ex rep when I was collecting and looking specifically for gen to buy. So again, the pictures of this rep or gen on ebay is virtually impossible to tell. Tough to call out with pics. Even Macro ones. Spa: I guess it would be down to the superlume, gently rolling the movement to your ear, winding the crown, exposing the movement, or feeling the bracelet's "looseness".

BigSlickAK Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Went back and looked at the link. I'm gonna have to call this a GEN. Looking at the font of the Number 2 in the picture....and comparing with all other REP numbers I've seen. (Based on that 2) It's a ever so slightly thicker black FONT.

BigSlickAK Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 lol, I could have used the 5 to compare. Oh well, too lazy to compare with the Perfect SUB I am currently wearing. Yea thicker font = GEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spa Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I believe you, the looks of that one on eBay screamed genuine to me also...But i thought Y serial is a 2002 model with no lugholes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
