Mods need to move this to the "WATCHOUT" sub forum where it clearly states "real/fake discussion, authenticity discussion", etc. I saw a guy in NYC a year ago wearing a Platona. I complimented him on it and he said thx and handed it to me to look at. I immediately knew it was fake bc of the weight. I then smiled and said nice watch, and he fessed up and told me it was a fake bezel and dial on a 116520. He was trying to portray owning a Platona. If you want to be original, then be original, don't make a cheap replica from a true classic. Done and done.....

So if you like the blue dial/bezel better you have to spend another $20,000? But I bet if he changed it to a green dial/bezel it wouldn't be much of a discussion. .
It's not like it's spray painted gold or plastered with fake diamonds. Go flame Bamford or Tempus. Or anyone with an aftermarket strap. It's a genuine Rolex. He's not trying to pass off as something it's not, he just likes the blue.

And my biggest issue is he was lied to. That is not a real OEM dial sprayed blue as claimed, so I would have thought at least the OP would want his money back on the fake dial, so I was actually doing him a favour, just as all the guys in the watch out section are doing on a daily basis. |

I like it. You made it your own. The purists in here are all bent out of shape. You can't please the stuffy crowd!
Happy new year! |

i like it because of why he did it. Necessity is the mother of invention. Life is too short to get bent about someone else's stuff. There's alot of thin skinned folks showing they're true colors over something that doesn't effect them at all. Cheap entertainment. I like it, I like it, I like it, So there.

Is your watch and you can do what you want! If you like it, is enough!!
I would like to do the same with my 5 digit sub. But that's impossible...(No original parts available) "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana". Groucho Marx. |

Good point
I would have it opened up ASAP.. why didn't the seller offer the original parts with the sale, maybe he sold them separately. |
