Pugwash Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 This guy bought what he thinks is a gen but now has doubts, another member phoned Rolex AD and described the issues and they think it's fake, TZ experts say gen........ If I had to bet, I'd say gen, possibly redialed. The more I look, the more I'm convinced it's gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Besides that, TZ is infested with a lot of self-absorbed suckups who are willing to go to these lengths to "prove" a minor point, gleefully and willingly treading all over a newbie like isell188. ... and yet I'd take some of their words over an AD on a telephone any day of the week.

Pugwash Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 You've got that right. Some people at TZ wrote the book (literally) on Rolex minutiae. Yeah, James Dowling, for instance. I'd spend time on TZ if their forum software weren't so fscking retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Yeah, James Dowling, for instance. I'd spend time on TZ if their forum software weren't so fscking retarded. Amen to that! I spend about 4 minutes there and then close all windows in disgust. Could it really be that hard to upgrade... Mabye the just don't want to "replicate" the ease-of-use of the replica forums.

By-Tor Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) The case looks genuine without a doubt. Man those TZ folks are complete JERKOFFS..."Molex"....puh-leeze!!! Thanks for reminding me why I never read that forum. Maybe a redial, maybe not. This is what somebody posted (similar dial from a very reputable seller): Edited July 19, 2006 by By-Tor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 My God, what a bunch of ninnies. They should spend more time over here if they want to be able to make sure they don't get duped into buying a rep--fifteen minutes over here and any of those guys would know what flaws to look for and spot a rep in 2 seconds like everybody else, as well as figure out that watch is a gen in a second and a half. Did the OP over there not ask them to crack the caseback if he had some concerns about the spaces between the letters and the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 The watch is genuine, no doubt, and the dial came that way from the factory. I have seen both, the serif'd correctly spaced hyphen and the non-serif misaligned hyphen on more than one occassion (one of the non-serif'd dials was at the AD). This is the same situation with the 16610- 2 different dials with 2 different fonts, but both are gen... Serif and round fonts Non-serif and fonts are slightly squared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Could it be that this variation is because Rolex maybe uses more than one dial maker to supply dials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 not any longer finepics! That used to be the explanation for rarities between the same models but now.. I heard that now they manufacture everything in-house. now They even produce the hairsprings. Please correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
