whitestripes Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Saw this one up for sale, I like how it\'s already got drilled lugs and a large plastic crystal. I don\'t know how to judge how good it is, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't know anything about the watch but here's a link you might be interested in: http://doubleredseadweller.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The dial contains mistakes (most salient are the too narrow index markers), the insert/bezel are wrong (incorrect font, pearl should be metal-free for this model), the caseback contains mistakes (incorrect font & spacing), the crown guards need some work (too wide, covering too much of the crown) & typical rep crown. Certainly, better than Canal Street (so you did alright), but not as good as MBW/MBK (there is a wealth of info on 'MBW' that search out it if you are unfamiliar with the term) or higher. As always, I recommend that you seek out pictures & info of gens on the web so you know what to look for. Try doubleredseadweller, timezone & google.

whitestripes Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thank you for the quick replies. I've been hoping to have a decent out of the box vintage Rollie rep (I love raised acrylic crystals and the more tool-ish look of 'em... and LUGHOLES!!!) and being pretty young I think an old, vintage-ized Rolex (inherited it from my uncle) is more believable than a new 16610 on my wrist.
