I just paid a lot of money for this please tell me this is not a knockoff.

wrassemeister · 14 January 2011, 04:09 AM

ok, just found out its fake... Got my money back luckily before the guy had a chance to ship it. Damn ebay.

Well IMHO its a fake on case ack bottom there should Comex issue number plus a few other factors

marcinthemiddle · 14 January 2011, 04:25 AM

I agree with Padi- The engraving looks too 'placed' IMHO.

the "E"s in stainless steel and registered design between the lugs. On an Authentic case... the middle bar of the E will always be shorter than the upper and lower. On most fake cases....the middle bar will be the same length as the upper and lower.

Did Rolex ever made a dome shaped crystal-sapphire?

How about a link to the auction? That way we know who to look out for. Russ

Defintley fake, glad you got your money back.

Evergreen · 14 January 2011, 02:51 PM

That thing is painful to look at.

I'm glad to hear you are getting your money back. Usually someone trying to sell something like that is a scammer.

no offense, but that one is pretty obvious. you should seriously read the posts in the Watchout section here for about a month before you buy. those bad ones will become obvious to you too after that. Harry

Laser etching between the lugs and non-genuine fonts are two areas that indicate the case is fake. You did the right thing in canceling the sale. Be careful on those vintage cases.

I am curious what you paid for it......

ps.... that lume dot is horrible .
