Looks great. Where's the bracelet?

MonBK · 28 December 2010, 11:41 AM

So am I.

jklein · 28 December 2010, 12:38 PM

I had it off so i can clean it, i'll add more with the bracelet.

Michael M. · 28 December 2010, 01:24 PM

Where did you buy this watch! Looks cool! Is the dial refinished?

sea-dweller · 28 December 2010, 03:41 PM

Just beautiful!

jklein · 28 December 2010, 04:07 PM

My father bought it new and kept it in a safe box. Now I got it and love it!

Here are some more pics, enjoy!

I'd love to see a nice macro picture of the dial and insert.

Best to do it in daylight.

The pics as shown make the dial and insert look a bit ..... well .... um ... you know.

If it was bought new from a dealer then I'm sure you've got an original beauty.

I'd really like to see the dial in all it's clear glory though.

I just noticed this thread. Is that watch for real? The pics aren't the greatest, so I apologize in advance if I'm way off base here, but:

- dial printing looks awfully sloppy,
- the bezel font appears to be incorrect, too small, and incorrectly spaced,
- the printing between the lugs looks too perfect,
- the text on the end of the bracelet looks too fat,
- the coronet on the clasp is positioned too high up, and
- aren't the pushers supposed to be asymmetrical? they don't appear to be on this.

I hate to say it, but that looks fake to me. jklein whats the story?

+1 - I hope it's just the 'lighting' but everything just looks wrong... maybe i drank too much tonight....

I think the dial has been redone, but still a nice watch.

I hate to be another doubter but I see a lot of problems. The case markings are screaming 'fake' at my eyes.

I would get the watch checked out by someone knowledgeable in vintage Rolex.

My sincerest apologies if I am mistaken.

I was trying to be diplomatic with my previous post Pav.

The guy was just passing a fake off as real.

How sad is that?

unclesallie · 29 January 2011, 10:20 PM

ouch. and ouch again.

conrail · 29 January 2011, 11:39 PM

Sad jklein.

Damn!

MonBK · 29 January 2011, 11:56 PM

Do you get banned for this?

Nicko · 30 January 2011, 12:03 AM

Just look at the engraving, that gave it away in an instant. Why are we allowing this to happen here? This is sad.
