Guest Dr.TuB Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I got this in the mail today. what do you guys think? i persoanlly think the bezel is pretty accurate comparing to the gen on the rollie's website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The major problems with this watch are that the cyclops is too far to the right and the rehaut is too WOKKY. WM9/PT or Euromariner/MBK don't have these major flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sub16610 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I got this in the mail today. what do you guys think? i persoanlly think the bezel is pretty accurate comparing to the gen on the rollie's website Hi, my opinion is : Good Bracelet, good magnificer cyclops, bad position of cyclops (too right) and conical rehaut, the crystal not seem to be thick seen from angle, i think it' the same of his ROLBEG002A - Submariner Black "NEWBIE" Edition - Asia 21J $98.00 only it's asian than Swiss ETA and have no QC i prefer to spend the same for four TRUSTY SPECIAL at $78.00 each one plus 1 ROLSD004A - Rolex Super Sea Dweller 1:1 LITE Edn - Asia 2813 $98.00 Conclusion: Save more $ 332.00 than initial $488.00 and you can use one for day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 They fixed the crown guards and left the too large crown. The bezel and bezel lip are nice and somewhat better pearl, but why did they use that horrible "Wokky" case? That's a dead giveaway from 10 feet.

rolex001 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The rehaut looks so wokky it could fit a Deep Sea Seadweller engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 yep- have to agree the rehaut is too steep. maybe part due to the pix hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopypants Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would send it back claiming that it is not a Genuine Swiss ETA!!! or Claim that this is NOT an 'Ultimate' version by any means!!! Nothing on the watch resembles the genuine article nor is there anything ULTIMATE about it... I would ask him to send it back and get all of the "lite" models that "sub16610" is talking about above... at least those resemble the gen in some manner!!! EDIT: I would also press on you to READ and LEARN from this forum! Its here as tool to help you. take advantage of it, but mostly give back! The good thing is, we have ALL done what you have done... i have plenty of reps that i bought when i should have just done some research and/or waited for the next model... I have also bought almost every "new" submariner model there is hoping that one day, i can find something i wear more than my gen... (mostly to keep it looking good) PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexious Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 For $100 less you can have a BK Mariner......unfortunately too many issues as described here for $488? I have bought a few watches from Trusty..he is a good dealer but you have to know what to buy.

Guest Dr.TuB Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 To all: thank you for your honesty. I really do appreciate it. I guess this is the only way i can learn (from my stupid mistakes) are there anyway i can go about returning this watch to trusty?

Guest Dr.TuB Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Also, how do i tell that the watch is swiss ETA or asian copy? if i were to open the caseback, wouldnt i make the watch non water resistant? also are there anyway for me to open the caseback without any the proper rolex case back opener?

Yes - you can buy a thing called a "horb" - it is a rubber ball you press firmly against the rear of the watch, and turn. It takes a log of pressure but it has opened all my watches. It is cheap and won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbdrtk Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Agreed. As long as the second hand sweeps at 28k only 1 in 100 will be able to tell its a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may work with Andrew (TT) as you will most likely purchase multiple watches for the exchange of this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
