Model of Rolex watch

[Attila]

Hello everyone,

Today at work I notice a colleague (who normally wears an IWC chrono) was wearing a different stainless steel watch.

I inquired and they replied it was a Rolex to which I was surprised (only one other person wears a Rolex that I know of and its' a Sub). I looked at it and I must say I have never seen anything like it. It was basically looked like a chronograph watch, but had the big second hand constantly moving, and then the subsidiary dials were used as a calender. There was also extra buttons on the outer casing. I am so confused I think it might be a fake, but I don't have the heart or knowledge to break their heart.

Subsequently it looks similar to this one I found on the net.

Thank you both for you quick answers.

Upon following the link from where the picture is hosted I saw that the site sells replica Rolexs - haha.

Now comes a hard part, my colleague who owns this, to I stay with the phrase "ignorance is bliss?"

They probably had a black 'mote' of dust in the camera lens. I told them to clean the lens, and they have sent me a new pic. I attached the pic ;)

If he is a close friend then discuss it with him. If he is only an acquaintance probably best not to say anything. Just my opinion.

Haha - Folex I thought it was double L.

Mark, your right, it does depend on the relationship you have - just work together so not really in the position to be making comments like that.

He proberbly knows himself - what it is.:banghead:
But how many other people he comes in to contact with do?:thinking:

Makes me wonder about his IWC.

Sorry...

It's unlikely you would be breaking any news to him he doesn't already know.

And embarassing or humiliating somebody just for sport is something a gentleman should be unwilling to do.


(However, if the guys a jackass, make sure you tell everybody else you know)

:cheers:

As this watch is so far away in design from any Rolex that I have seen, I can't believe this guy dosn't know its a fake.:thinking:

That is half the battle - I thought it was quite strange, Rolex don't do Months or years in their watches..

I think I will leave it as it is with this person, if we get into some sort of discussion about it or it comes up in topic I might mention it otherwise let them do what they want.

Hey, that watch is fake but Rolex did make a watch very similar to that. Frank Muller remade a Rolex watch with a perpetual calender but thats rare. I am sure the experts will chime in
