I don't own a mustang, but am a ford guy. One of my next cars may be the GT500 (this is a minimum of 3 years from now).

that blue sub is a fake. crown guards are too fat. the date mag is off. The coronet on the face is deformed. the rehaut depth does not look genuine to me. the crystal seems to go down too far into the rehaut. Also if you look at modern subs, the words "Oyster Perpetual Date" are further apart then the one pictured above. The BIGGEST giveaway is that the "M's" dont line up. the M in 300m and the M in chronometer should libe up right on top of eachother. Look at any pic of a modern sub u see. If you find something different that is REAL then post it. Sub guys...look down at ur watches!! let me know!! I hope you didnt pay $5200 for that sub.

courtesy of JJ....a definate difference in quality no?



Also...i would take a closer look at the daytona too.....the subdial spacing seems a bit too far apart. take a look at the pic below. I know its a different colour but it has the same movement therefore the same subdial spacing.



looks like someone ripped you off here....

Pete

it doesnt look real to me... but with those pictures it could be a little hard to be sure. The M's obviously dont line up... is it possible it could just be an old model? hope this is all a big mistake...

Pete could be right, but those pics are so damn out of focus, my eyes are starting to water from the strain. It's really hard to tell, especially the Daytona which is completely and truly blurry as hell!!

No response from 02 GT. Fakes?

Interesting that your Mustang pics are clear, but your "Rolex" pics are not...

If it is a fake, it is not representative of all mustang owners.

And to answer the question.

I collect mustang hot wheel and matchbox cars. Have for a few years.

I would say I have a couple hundred or so.

Your Mustang is the best

I think your mustang is the best design made when it was in production. Nobody asked me if they should remake the ugly classic 65-67 style. I had a 90 5.0 GT with the 302 V8. I thought 90-93 was the best design for many years. I thought the designers came to there senses when they made your model and lost their minds on the current Mustang. The power is just something you feel in your bones driving a V8 mustang. You should check out the saleen version.

Yep. You got ripped off as both are fake. Take them to a Rolex AD and have them pull the backs off the watches. That's the easiest way to show that they are fake. The other option is to pull the bracelets off and see if the serial numbers match. Take it to an AD.

Hope you did not pay too much for those watches.

If the deal was too good to be true then it probably was. There are sites out there that sell Rolex watches for a few hundred bucks. But you get what you pay for.

Once again, hope you did not pay too much.

A better question is (likely) why do people think they can come on a Rolex site and pass of their fakes as real watches just by making the pictures blurry?

That's what I was thinking. Those pictures were fantastically blurry. You can get better pics with the flash on even though it would provide some glare. I did not feel that he was genuine in his posting of the watches. However, the Mustang is real.

I had a 1966 Fastback, black with flames on the hood and the sides, and a naked lady on a Mustang on the short trunk. First gear was out so I had to starts from 2nd, which meant always gunning it.

Not a Mustang, but still a Ford. The European Ford Focus.
