DemonSlayer Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Usually I'm pretty good at telling, but this one seems to have tell-tale signs it's a gen. What do you guys think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smc Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Looks like a gen 2836 to me, but then what do I know. Can you post another pic with the rotor turned 180 degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks for your input smc, I'll take another pic later on in the day, its 7:12 AM here and pitch black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Looks gen but the 2836 stamping could be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm with smc, take a pic w/ rotor turned 180 degrees. But so far so good. You could pop the little metallic piece off the rotor (that says Rolex) and see what the rotor says underneath. Rotors are unmarked these days, but I'm not sure if that is proof that it's a copy movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSlayer Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks for the input guys. I removed the rotor and took a look at the two gears depicted on EuroTimez post on how to spot clone movements. They have more holes, cementing my thought that it's gen ETA, and the silver gear is brushed not polished. I agree Andy, the stamping could be better, but I am happy that I got a gen ETA movement, it's pretty rare to find them these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I say genuine as well. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I say genuine as well. RG Thanks The Zigmeister and all those who gave their input. Goes to show there are still some out there, but I think they're mostly in the 'old stock' watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayfish Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 That's nice to see a rolex stamp on the rotor! Where is it from? Any more pics of the watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
