shimside11 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just cruising through the regular forums/fora, I found this pic. It seems a bit off for a gen. I'm hoping the guy didn't get taken - sold the Daytona, new baby etc. Any expert opinions? I've compared mine to some gens close up. This looks alot like my rep (pearl, coronet @6). I hope I'm wrong. What do you think? newsub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eye.surgeon Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I have a genuine and I don't see any problems with it. Me thinks you've been looking at reps so long that a genuine looks suspicious. Edited June 9, 2006 by eye.surgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimside11 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have a genuine and I don't see any problems with it. Me thinks you've been looking at reps so long that a genuine looks suspicious. Insightful and troubling observation. This pursuit lends itself to paranoia at times. I believe that the only thing to do is get a gen. My wife won't let me do it until we finish furnishing the house. I'm squirreling away bits of some of the larger commission checks so it won't be too obvious. BTW, you might want to crack open the caseback on your gen...are you sure it's real...they're everywhere you know...they sneak in at night and replace the gens with....

I went in to a Rolex AD today, looked at some gen Subs, and thought to myself that the bezel looked cheap and the movement wasn't 'smooth' enough... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce79 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I would very much so doubt the integrity of this site...since it has links to $300 Rolex subs...Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce79 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well I have yet to see any other credible site selling gens with adds for reps popping up. I'm not saying they don't exist, I just haven't seen them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? newsub Looks to me...on the rep the markings on the bezel are a giveaway... on this one the distance between the inner and outer edges and the marker are equal and centered...None of the reps I've seen (even the overhauled versions) got it right. I'd think is an easy fix for factories but maybe they produced fififillions of bezels already and they keep on using them. By-Tor has great, GREAT, reviews on this!
