What's wrong with this picture?


I've flipped more watches than I care to remember and I finally have my big three, sort of. Can you guess?

The JLC is wrong - as it should have been a Reverso - in order for them to spell R-P-R as Rolex Passion Report.

Lol, at the missing AP comment.

That JLC is a beauty.

I think at 45mm that Patek may be a fugazi...

Unless it's poor pic quality but there only appears to be part of text on the 5711 dial

No $hitters to speak of there that's for certain. Looks good to me.

Image is a bit fuzzy, but appears the PP Nautilus is missing text on dial? Other than that I would have gone with a blue backdrop....Ha!

You have your big 4 not big 3 because that JLC is basically a double watch LOL!!!
Or second guess, you only have a Nautilus from the holy trinity so you miss a VC and an AP???

With a "sterile" dial, doesn't that make it an "homage"? (IBTL )

The point of the thread was to try to figure out if there is anything wrong with the picture. There IS and a few of you figured it out pretty quickly.
In no particular order:
1. The 228239 is my grail watch. I love it and wear it as much as possible.
2. Yes, I should have used a blue cloth.
3. Maybe I do need an AP or VC to complete the collection.
4. The JLC is the Reverso Tribute Calendar and is even better in person.
5. I like the reference to the New York Times which was drawn from another thread that I started in jest and was removed quickly.
6. Yes, the 5711 is a flat-out fake. I think I love the watch but wanted to take a "test run" with a replica before getting myself on a long waiting list or pay David SW $31K. The watch isn't a particularly accurate copy but it's beautiful. I know the real McCoy is stunning and I might have to put this one on my list.
Thanks for playing along.

Posting a fake/replica is serious business around these parts. If I'm not mistaken, it's grounds for a ban.
