freddy333 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 No. I originally thought it was, but now that I look at it again, it is definitely not a gen Rolex. At least not the Rolex signed bridges (fonts are wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustybrand Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 It's in really rough shape. Either someone put that bridge on very shortly after the movement was made, or someone is an expert at aging things. It appear to have the exact same patina as the rest of the movement parts. BTW, I received my IWC 79320 movement from you today, concepta. I just thought a public acknowledgment might go further than a private one for future sales. Thanks! It's stunning, btw, and has a completely different sound than any of the A7750 movements. Just for fun, I'm going to stick it on my Greiner, and see what sort of timing trace I get. My bet is that it will look a whole lot cleaner than those of my DW mystery movements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 This movement was pointed out on VRF as not being correct- the chrono bridge specifically. Also, on the dial side there is no 'Rolex' engraved on the main bridge. Balance would be very old- like for a 6234, making it a 72A or possibly 72B. Basically, it's a well aged FAKE!
