Just to be sure my new gift (Sub C) is 100%

Maybe we should stop pointing out what the counterfeiters are doing wrong? It seems like they are trying to find out the fakes' weak spots.

Amazing! Simply amazing!

Very humorous read here, but some of you better give your heads a shake.
The watch is real.

[GradyPhilpott]

The hands give it away also.

The real one has the wider hands.

[simonmcc]

If this is a rep then it's a very good one. The Rolex engraving looks spot on and the SEL's look tight. The pearl looks flawless too.

How do you know that?

Besides being his friend and trying to pass this fake POS watch here on TRF...

[robertneville]

Devil is in the detail. IBTL.

There's a lot of fakes in this thread. Easy to tell them apart too.

I'm sure you are not just referring to watches, are you?

3 guys with the least time on the forum are convinced that the watch is real and siding with a guy who was in fact banned under another name for trying to vet a fake watch through the forum members vs all others that have spent significant time here and have demonstrated they are genuine individuals. :dummy :

going to have to assume the worst here.

[Blong]

He is banned...as odie2355 and also banned as rolexresearch so he cant respond under one of those names. The OP will have to come up with a new alias to post more pics....

You should buy it from him....buy the one he said was from his fiancé...that one looked more real than this one....

The reason the op hasn't responded is because he's been BANNED for posting fake watches...you're so quick to call names but why don't you read the entire thread before you run your mouth...

[floater156]

What are these guys hoping to accomplish by getting fake watches verified as real on this forum?

You beat me to that one before I could hit the "post" tab

Interesting thread

I am not a Rolex authority, but I do a lot of highly detailed design work. Upon review of the watch in question the differences between it and verifiable Rolex to me are in order of clarity:

The 3 of 300m is not directly below the R in MARINER above.
the f in ft is too short.
The = between ft and 300m is off and the space it sits in too large.
The cyclops appears to be off center with the horizontal axis of the dial.

Thank you every one for making me look more carefully. Keep up the good work!

[scocope]

If Mr. Blue Rocket is not a troll why has he gone off line before he has responded to Ratae 1950's post, which was up while Blue Rocket was on line? A very simple way to dissuade all of us from believing he is a troll, is to apologize for the use of the term "idiot" and acknowlege the demonstrated fact the watch is a fake. I will then apologize for the use of the term troll because he will have demonstrated he is not one. I, however, am not holding my breath for this to happen.

The watch is fake, as is the poster!

These goons are only posting here to see how well they can pass a fake to the legitimate members who appreciate the REAL thing!!

If the watch passes the "sniff" test then its easier for them to either sell it on ebay or craigslist... also if they are in cahoots with the manufacturer of fake watches (most likely not the reason here) they can use the feedback from us and adjust the watch details accordingly to make it better.

I think its funny when other "members" go to bat for TROLLS.....

There's your answer . Like many others have said in the "watch out" area, stop doing thier homework for them! This is information that some day may come back to bite you or someone you know in the rear end. How much more clearly can it be stated?

[HORNBLOWER]

oyster perpetual text on dial looks very dodgy also the = is in the wrong position, way out!

Nice to know I have a use in life.......

I think the moral of the 'story' is that if you intend parting with $$$$ for a watch, you buy from a trusted vendor. I would assume the purpose of a Watch Out section is to help prevent criminals selling fake watches to uninformed people [me before TRF].

The issue of aiding and abetting the fraudsters is an interesting one and worthy of a calm and rational debate vis a vis the pros and cons of Watch Out.. Maybe the 'fishing posts' need to be closed early on.

True, but unfortunately the bad guys don't always use it for it's intended purposes.

If I came across as agitated or irrational I sincerely apologize as that was not my intention. Sometimes these threads take a little while to show their true intentions and therefore are able to progress. There is a fine line between just spouting "FAKE" and pointing out every little detail. Again, if I came across rudely, please accept my apology.

yes you have been a member longer than me, but you are bolstering up the OP who has been banned on at least 2 occasions with specific regard to counterfeit watches. if you have been participating even passively, imho your willingness to bet on a someone with that history is surprising?

for me, if the watch is real or fake has taken a back seat to what seems to have started directly as an inauthentic thread from the OP.
