ThinkBachs Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Woman had this for sale as a gen but was pulled because she was told it was a rep. She says she took it to an AD who told her it was the best rep she's ever seen. I can't remember ever seeing a dial like this one on a rep before but I just saw a gen dial (so the ad says) that reminds me of what this woman has to sell. Here are the pics I have to work with, pretty crappy but better than some of the half-assed postings in the trade area that don't even have a photo... Here is the dial that I found that made me question my first impression... I know, two different dials but it does show something I hadn't seen before so thought I'd share anyway... I'm curious to hear your opinions, thanks!
Star69 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 absolute horrible fake ... they sell them usually for 5$ to some drunken tourists. cheers, Frank
lazarini Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 hahaha.... actually never seen a sub fake that bad laz
nnomad Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Even i felt insulted by that one! (and regarding watches...thats pretty much pushing the term for me....) ... my tag heurer is actually even "better" A.

Shundi Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Oh God that thing is absolutely terrifying.
ThinkBachs Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Posted April 23, 2009 I saw some fuzzy photos of the watch on eBay and thought I'd look into what she had. Here's the email I got from the seller about the watch: Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Today is the first chance I've gotten to have the watch looked at. I took it to our local rolex dealer and she said it was a replica but it was the best rep she'd ever seen....She said the sweep was amazing. She'd never seen a rep that had such a smooth sweep of the second hand. Any who. I'd be willing to go $300. Let me know what u think... Thanks...Melissa If you're interested, please add 15% finders fee to the asking price and I'll connect you with Melissa.
Stephane Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Very funny. I think you created a new name for a canal street watch: The Melissa Sub !
simmons3d Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 By the way the other dial photo that had you confused is a fairly rare 16808 gold "nipple" dial. Early to mid 80's I believe.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 looks like its forged out of aluminum foil at a chinese takeaway
