Member X Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Differences apparent to me, a n00b, are DW font, Bezel font, colour of lume?, width of the lume surrounds?, feet on the text... I'm going with the one on the right being gen! Edited May 18, 2009 by Member X
DemonSlayer Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 I say left is genuine based on the rehaut and DW font.
bodster007@hotmail.com Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) id go for one on left being the gen due to the date font, also being able to see the crown etched on the glass on the right one, didnt think that was supposed to be `that` noticable on a gen. probably got us stumped and theyre both reps !!!! lol Edited May 18, 2009 by bodster007@hotmail.com
ThinkBachs Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Left is the gen, final answer. The biggest give away for me is the difference in case edge finish, then there's that end link fit on the rep, date font... With that said, I'd be happy to wear either one, though preferably the one on the left.
professor_yaffle1 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Gen on left - rehaut, crown finish, bezel edges.......
vlydog Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 The hour indices @ 6 and 12 were the tell for me.
kbiz Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 I don't even know Rolex but I'm gonna go with left gen... the metal work looks better...
FxrAndy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 left is gen you can plainly see the laser etched crown in the crystal on the rep. Mellus, you wont beet the people here with these things, it is there lifes goal to do this sort of thing, and if you are going to to try at least have some thing that stands a chance, i dont even like rollys and i dont study them but that was just too easy

So a new chance especially for you , Guru ...
d-rock Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I realize this is a very old Thread but the poster never came back to confirm the answer. I'm far from a pro but I'm going with the left as being the gen...bezel font is thinner and cleaner and the gold outlining of the dial markers at 6, 9 and 12 are what I have based my decision on.
jcagara08 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 what makes the right the rep is its pearl..clearly noticeable build quality
