ammandel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Was browsing some pics on flickr and came across this image which was actually made an "Explore" (featured image if you will). Interested to know if it is infact a rep, and if so why? Do the 5 ticks at the bottom by "swiss made" give it away or are there gen versions with 5 ticks instead of 3?

niss4u2nv Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Looks to be gen late 90's early 2000's Check out the similar watch here it is a gen for sure. http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/articles/2.html Edited January 23, 2009 by niss4u2nv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammandel Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Looks to be gen late 90's early 2000's Thanks Didn't know whether the swiss made ticks made a different, I guess 3 smaller ticks beneath 'swiss made' is the new way of doing it.

spa Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 if not anything else, the brushed finish of the lugs screams genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe it's just the angle of the pic but the scallops on the bezel don't look even to me. Those at the botom appear to go right to the insert edge. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 And the fact that no one can really be sure is exactly why our reps are so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasGirgenti Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 It is a transitional sub, lugholes and - swiss made - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Post 2000- SL dial (seems like 5 ticks was after 3 ticks- but luminova came after tritium very briefly- dial said Swiss- c.2000. then SL after that- dial said 'Swiss Made'), still has lugholes, but SEL bracelet. My guess is 2003-4. It's definitely a gen insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
