What do you think about this DRSD?

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.

I don't know anything about the watch but here's a link you might be interested in:

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.

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.
