My Rolex Submariner blue dial, yellow gold
Yes, it cost me a fortune, but I love its goldness. A Rolex without gold is not good enough.

Congratulations!
Isn't it TT rather than SG though so please excuse my ignorance but why was it so expensive????? (& do you write on your hand the price of everything you wear?? )

I just thought it was in pretty bad shape... but now that u mentioned it, the whole thing really doesn't look legit... kinda like the owner, I guess. He's also making a mess on the forum with a handful of useless threads...

All the letter As on the dial have pointed tops, one of my favorite give-aways of a fake.
The "50" ain't bad, either... |

rehaut and crown guards are the biggest giveaway on any fake sub- period. the cheap ETA or chinese movements are no match for the depth of the caliber 3135- so to compensate, they always have either a thick plastic gasket under the crystal and a thin rehaut or a similar to genuine sized plastic gasket but then with a cone shaped rehaut to give the illusion of depth! next, the crown guards- they are never right. but, alot of these folks who collect and mod thier fakes will mill/shave the crown gaurds to almost 1:1, meaning using the crown guard method to spot the fake sub can be tricky- but the rehaut and crystal gasket is a sure giveaway 100% of the time with a fake sub/dweller..
