Wow, just a beautiful watch. I was looking at some of these on a site where I've purchased other Rolex watches. All were sold and those not, we're on hold. You definitely have a superb keeper there! Congrats...

Thank you, it's a special one to me, it has frogfoot coronet and a rail dial. I never got the bracelet but got a yellow hornback strap to match the lume...lol...childish addiction :)

Well the watch looks great and so does the strap. I'm sure though you can get a bracelet for it. You may want to call Leo at Official Time Watch out of Salt Lake City, Utah. This guy works wonders with Rolex and Omega. True pleasure to work with.
Keep well...

You know, I thought your 6538 looked suspect at first glance, then I took a closer look at the dial and realized the dial is a complete fake, then a closer look and the case/bezel looked fake to. Then I went ahead and tracked down your thread over at the replica forums to where you were bragging about this very 6538 build.. can be seen here
https://forum.replica-watch.info/thr...ranken.351883/

I see you are new to the forum, so allow me to be the first to say; please keep your fake crap off our forum.

PS: your explorer is a complete fake as well and not even a good one. You’re probably wondering, How do I know? Hmm let me see, maybe because I own both a real 1655 and a 6538..

Hmm I was wondering when you all will call these out...
To be honest nobody really looks at your watch out in the real world. But my intention to post here is to see if experts are easily picking the whiff off it. You're 100% right, I did copy these pics from a replica forum.
Well, my experiment is complete and I apologize for my behaviour.
I was told some replica are so good nobody can tell the difference, so I wanted to test that out...again sorry for the deception...

Whether you’re legitimately trying to pass off fake crap here, or, are conducting some pathetic experiment, if it’s the former, you’re pathetic and participate in one of the most lame and vile hobbies, and if it’s the latter, how dare you think this forum is some place available to you to waste members’ time and insult their intelligence. Just go away.

Banned already. Word travels fast. He didn’t take the pictures from any site as those pictures are different then the ones on the replica forum. He probably thought his watches were so good, that it was time to try to pass them off here. If they went unnoticed, he would have felt that much better about them. I have seen some people who go to great lengths to try and age replica watches to pass them off.

The fake watches themselves don’t piss me off, it’s only the people that carry the lie that piss me off.
