The date and position of the hands in your picture are exactly the same as on the picture on the website.

You do realized that photo is severely Photoshopped right? Look at the edge of the bezel. It has been poorly selected and lightened using the "Lasso Tool" on photoshop. Also it appears the dial has been copied from one photo and pasted on top of another. Also, how can the date window be below the crown. This thread should be deleted. I think the OP is a troll.

I believe the actual watches themselves are genuine. Just with poorly refinished dials, aftermarket bezels, etc. There are a ton of ebay sellers that do this with datejusts... this guy is just doing it with some Subs.

As another poster mentioned, the various dial and bezel combinations are photoshopped in so many different models can be offered for sale but the watch probably isn't "built" until someone goes ahead and purchases it.

OP, if you want a factory bejeweled Submariner (known as a "serti" dial), they are only offered in two-tone and precious metal Subs, not all stainless.

As a visual effects artist for the film industry, I can tell you is not fake, is just photoshopped by somebody who's skillset is zero to none. =)

Oh boy. I am not great at photoshop and to throw out a pic for a "what if Rolex made this for Basel" thread is one thing. But to butcher a for sale photo that bad. Not good.

That one looks really bad. Looks like the crystal was put in offset so to make the date line up with the Cyclops they rotated the movement and dial. Look at how the crown looks like it's tweaked. Dang!

Just read that this is a photo shopped pic. Looking closer I can see that. Because the crown would not line up with the date otherwise. Never the less, you can't sell a watch with pictures like that. Or maybe you can. LOL

Oh come on, that's too harsh. Give them some credit because they know how to use the oven selection tool. ;-)
