Padi,

here's my "before" 2000 dial.

masterzypher · 7 December 2009, 12:57 AM

FOUND IT!!!

is it okay to disclose the serial number here??

Akira · 7 December 2009, 12:57 AM

I would say fake, may be I'm wrong, but the printing on the dial is not very clean. And it must be in relief on the first two pics, but it strangely flat.

May be I''m parano, but the caliber's pics will be welcome

NO...

What if the first # is 9?

Not rare, but still worth some good $$$

Why you seasoned members are wasting your time with this thread is beyond me.............

The writing's in the OP of this thread is almost like it's been written by two different people.

New member, welcome to TRF. It's a great place, but if you want to get confirmation if your watch is legit, take it to Rolex or an AD for authorisation. If it is & you want to know more about the piece, then use the search facility on here. I would respectfully suggest you'll find everything you need to know.

I really hope for you it's a real, mate!

Your first shots has been nice, can you please post a nice shot of the space between the lugs at 12 clocks? It's a model serial. And the backside of the watch, point of the fixation of the bracelet?

It will be great for make decision.

Yes, you're right Tony, let's not answer ANY questions from anybody and everyone can go to Rolex or an AD if they need to know anything.

Come on, I did welcome him/her to TRF! But please. Found a Rolex in a vault...?

This is a great forum to learn & study about all watches & horology & even marketing, but some posts are pointless. I would be more open minded if the OP had learnt about the piece first was a member for a while & then asked any questions with pics.

No, that's not fair - on me. You know I always defend TRF & praise it for being so welcoming & open minded with minimum mod intrusion, but look at some of the following comments from the OP. Now moving house & wants to swap the watch for a car...?
