All blue GMT fake
Unbelievable hogwash! This is conceived as a total murkiness, to confuse as many people as possible. Where are the Service Documents that are alleged in this letter??? The one presented in various forums is nothing but a joke of a century. It is at best a simple Rolex replacement value evaluation for insurance purposes. TO WHOMEVER WROTE THAT LETTER: PRESENT AN ORIGINAL ROLEX SERVICE CENTRE DOCUMENT! Do not allege anything, just present it for all of us to see. NAME ONE ROLEX SERVICE CENTRE THOSE INSERTS ORIGINALLY CAME OUT OF?? WE ARE WAITING. The talk about a Service Replacement Dial for 5513 leaves me speechless! I can not believe a serious, reputable dealer would write such nonsense! I can name ten RSC using those parts, can a person who wrote that letter name ONE RSC the blueberry insert allegedly came out of? Pleeeeease, more fantasies, innuendos, unproved stories, legends and pure nonsense. Unreal. PS, so now the “original” legend of UAE special order is out of the window, yes?? Hahaha!

Hi there buddy, I do not think there is any need of being rude to anyone, newbie or a guy with 20K posts. I have been collecting vintage Rolex for over 30 years, have been around the block once or twice. I do not know you, or how long you are to collecting and what do you collect or not, I would just assume you are a fellow, friendly Rolex collector though. I think you did not read my post carefully, I said : Rolex letter would be nice. However chances of Rolex writing it are next to none. That I may be wrong on, stranger things have happened, I repeat it would be nice to have it from them. In a meantime we shall use our brains to guide us through this issue, that’s all I am saying. Supposedly you have been collecting for a while, do you personally know, or any of your collector friends personally know a first, original owner of a Blueberry Watch? Of course if Rolex decides to write that letter one day it will be all over, one way or another, however, we, most probably, will be waiting for it for a while, in the meantime, again, I suggest we use our brains to keep us safe.

Tom, I've been collecting over 40 years, and I am quite aware of how my brain functions. With that said, I don't know anyone that originally purchased a blueberry watch from Rolex or an insert from their service department. But, as I said before, Rolex will have the final say in this, not you, me or anyone else - whether you agree or not.

First, as a reader and follower of this thread, this has been very interesting and thanks to everyone for contributing to the debate. I had read the previous threads but the small nuanced details and their ensuing discussions are what bring me back and keep me interested.
What's most interesting to me is, if they are a service part why does this service part impart a massive gain in value whereas every other service part imparts a devaluation to a specific example of a reference? Have you all who are vastly more experienced and in the game longer than me ever seen another instance where a service part (a confirmed service part, which I'm not suggesting these inserts are, please don't pounce!) have added versus subtracted value? |

The people who own and sell these watches would prefer people to believe that the inserts are original. However, currently most sellers don't claim this explicitly, instead they generally use nuanced language, saying things like "the watch comes with a blueberry insert". So as long as the inserts are authentic service parts, the listings aren't explicitly false.

Hey, looks like you have not only posting count advantage but collecting advantage as well. That’s settled. I absolutely would take Rolex letter under at most consideration, I doubt it would be issued though. That’s settled as well. But, again, we are left with our brains only for the time being at least. I would be in shock of a lifetime if Rolex issued a letter stating these inserts are Rolex parts, for their quality alone, if not for anything else. Why would Rolex manufactured an insert so technologically disadvantaged from anything else they ever put out? Why, all of a sudden, they would change technological process, proven for decades, and come out with an end result that could be easily performed by any half decent paint shop around the world? What does your 40 years collecting experience tell you about that? PS, with our 70 years collective involvement in vintage Rolex, our connections to tens or possibly hundreds of serious collectors around the world, we do no not know even ONE original owner of the watch or the insert alone, moreover, none of the people we know know of anyone who would know the first owner (at least in my case). That’s literally thousands of collectors around the world. Nobody on this forum knows of a first owner, and nobody on the VRF knows if one either. Based on what we know so far nothing less but a miracle would have to be involved in saving the Blueberry Insert! MHO only. Best Regards, :):) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wasn’t the OP’s post #1 that Rolex wrote the letter with the “final word”?

Hello there, The law is very clear on that subject, if you are buying Rolex and have bought converted Timex the deal is null and void and the money has to be returned. If you are buying a product, let’s say Nike shoes, and they turned out to be fake the deal is null and void, the money has to be returned. One of very few buyers protections that exist. You have simply bought not what you were bargaining for and you do not have marketable title to the property you have bought. In case if a Blueberry insert a lot depends on wording indeed, probably most dealers have a written contract, possibly with a lot of disclaimers, and, possibly again, with special terms regarding controversial parts. :):) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

so i checked now
hamburgvintagewatches don't exist on instagram don't exist a name on google like a shop or internet watches aficionado in a nutshell, it doesn't exist anywhere. that is, he joined instagram to get from the clique and bring the holy grail and then how did it get gone? you are really ridiculous ... HamburgVintageWatches is simply orcs, or one of the birds that run in his mind, and you are all here to build legends on a letter made in two minutes with photoshop, printed and photographed a little in the dark .... We are talking about the cosmic nothing |

Is it possible the blueberry dials are just back dials that have somehow faded over time - possibly from a faulty batch?
After all it's not unknown for some other watch parts to alter over time - 'tropical' dials that have changed from black to brown - 'patrizzi' dials on Daytona's to name a couple of example's. Just a thought.
