torresp Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 why do you think it's a fake?, seems legit to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 T'is genuine! 3.5M serial dates this to 72/73 (caseback correlates) with a MKIV dial as a replacement (this one probably had a MKII dial originally). Also replaced: -Crown and tube (should be pre-Triplock 7mm crown/tube set) -Crystal (should be a Superdome 39) -Bracelet (should be a 9315) Overall, a nice watch with pointy guards. I like it!

manuel Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 ok, dial looks new and the crown ahs been polished in excess imho. it´s curious to see how scratched is the caseback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 As Randy said crown guards aren't over polished, It's a beautiful example of a point guards sd; those kind of finish was made in early '70s in GMTs, subs and sd models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hmmmm... That looks like an Avitt Special, circa 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Looks genuine to me. hard to fake that movement. also I bablefished his description. He had the watch serviced twice in 2000 and 2003. no telling how many times it went in for service before that. Years ago,when you sent your Rolex back to the authorized service center, they tried to replace everything they could. Back during the acrylic crystal days, a crystal exchange was part of the routine service. Also remember the DRSD has only gotten to be a "cult" watch in the past few years. before that, it was just an old seadweller, period. It is very, very likely that when it went in for service the owner was thrilled to get a new dial, crown and tube, etc, even though it would later greatly decrease the value of the watch. If that watch had been in original condition with any type of paperwork from Rolex even receipts for services, it would have fetched a lot more than 9.5k. probably closer to 15+k. As DRSD's go this is a nice wearing watch, but not one that the real die-hard Rolex collectors would salivate over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
