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

Very nice, congrats !

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??

Great pick up Dan. Was wondering the same.

Just had another look at that wrist pic... Does "50" on the insert look abit off?

lol.. come on guys!..

that's a fake at best- if ever i saw one!..

*check- thick plastic gasket under the crystal!
*check- skinny thin rehaut!
*check- bezel pearl!
*check- poor bezel fonts! (50!!!)
*check- fat crown guards!
*check- stainless steel SEL's coated with thin layer of gold wrapped brass!
*check- oversize crown!

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...

thesharkfactor · 2 November 2010, 10:38 AM

no his is probably correct.. 16,000 japanese Yen. (£120/$198) the going rate for that sort of crap..

seems he was hinting to try test us.. lol

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..

Good work!
I wad hoping he would post more pix of his fake TT Sub for more entertainment before bursting his bubbles.
Guess the fake Goldness = real ban-ness
