Guest porsche356a Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Not. Looks like Gen Crown, Insert, Noob dial. Bracelet is noob, as well. Definitely not Gen.
By-Tor Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Crown guards and crystal/rehaut give it away. Not quite deep and shiny enough. Very good replica though. A Noobmariner based one?
Justasgood Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 Not. Looks like Gen Crown, Insert, Noob dial. Bracelet is noob, as well. Definitely not Gen. Hmmm.......
P4GTR Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Really? Because.... I don't usually do these, as my eye isn't keen to the degree of most. but i'd like to venture a guess for ish and giggles... No sir. My rationale? I could make fried rice in that wok/rehaut. The guards are misshapen too, real or not FFS man, tidy up. No personal offense. I've got a wokked 16610. Pic of a engorged lazer etched crown at 6 would've helped my decision but I digress.
jfreeman420 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Is that "swiss made" etched on the bottom of the crystal? Never seen that before...........
By-Tor Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I could make fried rice in that wok/rehaut. I agree it's a rep... but I don't think it's wokky at all. Probably just a closeup photo that distorts the view.
Guest porsche356a Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Furthermore, since its a "newer case" the crown, although Gen is incorrect for this model. The crown should be floating above the 3 dots (triplock) not riding on it.
Justasgood Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 Are the Crown gaurds really that bad? Laser etched crown very hard to get a Pic of........and no, the swiss made is reflected. But of course you knew that. Rehaut not Wokky...just the angle.
By-Tor Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 The bezel looks good and thick. Perhaps a gen bezel? The crown guards aren't bad at all. But they're not 100% correct. That's why it got called out mate. They're still a bit too thick from the very bottom.

Justasgood Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 O.k., Nice work. It is an F serial Noob. All I did was put a Rep crown on......not bad eh? Also added the Gen Insert. All else is as it came. Thanks for the observations. CG shaving on the way. Of course, It will never replace this....
Guest porsche356a Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 "...It will never replace this...." That is a beautiful timepiece.
Justasgood Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 "...It will never replace this...." That is a beautiful timepiece. Thank you kind sir
freddy333 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Admittedly, I am better with vintage (non-metalized index marker) models, but the only thing that looked wrong (non-gen) IS the crown. Fitted with a gen crown, the rest of the watch could have fooled me. Nice.

Agreed. JAG, remember we are all jaded here, there are some of us who have studied these to the nth degree, and can decimate such things much easily than the general populous. That said, your 16610 IS an absolute stunner, nonetheless.

Guest porsche356a Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Well, first it has the hollow mids, so it was not an MBW. Second, on the end links on the GEN 92350 bracelet, the mid links are not so pronounced. Its very subtle, almost invisible, especially as it goes up towards the bezel. It can truly be appreciated in person. Another tell, (although not specified here) is that on the GEN, the ref #s 93250 are not stamped on the bracelet - only the clasp, and the inside of the ELs.

Guest porsche356a Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 How the hell did you see the hollow middies? From this pic Its minute, but discernible.
Justasgood Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 From this pic Its minute, but discernible. Holy Sh*t.....I am not worthy.......youdaman
Guest porsche356a Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Holy Sh*t.....I am not worthy.......youdaman Nah, just replying to what was asked. Thanks for the kind words though.
w.genzo Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Well....... The easiest way to call out this rep is the gap between SEL and lugs. Modern SEL subs don't have any gap
