Serial: 577XXXX

kevin2210 · 7 June 2013, 06:16 PM

I am no expert, but this serial seems high for a 5512. Am I wrong Mr. experts ?

Mark020 · 7 June 2013, 10:53 PM

I think so: see click

kevin2210 · 8 June 2013, 12:05 AM

it mean abnormal price?

Mark020 · 8 June 2013, 12:51 AM

A bit high. This one was slightly better at first glance and USD 5300: click .

kevin2210 · 8 June 2013, 01:53 AM

Any abnormal on the outlook of dial or case? expert expert

Michael M. · 8 June 2013, 04:26 AM

The whole case is a fake......run forest run!

ctek · 8 June 2013, 04:37 AM

The case'es proportions look off, and the back side of the crown gaurd isn't cut out right.

GUS SMYTHE · 8 June 2013, 05:53 AM

Take it to the nearest RSCentre and they will check the watch for you. It´s the best way to verify it.

Good luck

datejust24 · 8 June 2013, 06:02 AM

dial looks good but thats about it.

vintagewaferthin · 8 June 2013, 06:04 AM

That case does not look right at all.

kevin2210 · 8 June 2013, 10:15 AM

It was took to RSC to check now.

Beaumont Miller II · 8 June 2013, 10:38 AM

I will comment on the dial only:

Matte dial Submariner with "SUBMARINER" on top of the depth rating if legit means its a Maxi 2, 3, 4, or 5. The coronet is correct for a maxi 2, as are the characteristic open 6's, the shape of the letter "S" in Submariner, and the centering of the text. The serial number is correct for a maxi 2 as well.

Enjoy the weekend

kevin2210 · 8 June 2013, 10:56 AM

Thanks for all reply. It will take at least 4 weeks on the full checking.

Anyway, where part of the case is so easy to tell you that it is fake??

I haven't pay for this watch yet.

John in MA · 8 June 2013, 11:11 AM

Case looks ok to me.

kevin2210 · 10 June 2013, 01:31 AM

Thanks for the comments, hope the RSC finish the checking asap.

Anyone can provide the correct case photo?

high5 · 10 June 2013, 09:52 AM

I think it is ok too.

high5 · 10 June 2013, 09:56 AM

wait a minute, the case does look kind of funny... hard to see from the angle of the picture. can you unscrew the crown and take a picture at the back and near the crown area?

kevin2210 · 10 June 2013, 11:23 AM

How about this photo?

high5 · 10 June 2013, 12:24 PM

need to see the crown guard from the back.

kevin2210 · 10 June 2013, 01:37 PM

Sorry, i just got those photos on hand, it is in RSC now....

1675-David · 10 June 2013, 11:08 PM

This is a must read thread for anyone considering a vintage sub. I agree with Michael...duff case

kevin2210 · 10 June 2013, 11:57 PM

Thanks, its useful. Do you think RSC will point it out?

springer · 11 June 2013, 01:45 AM

I have to agree that, based on the photos, the case is counterfeit. It is too thick and not cut properly around the crown cards. These are the same characteristics as found on counterfeit cases offered at the "forbidden" web site that we won't discuss further.

Although the dial appears more genuine than counterfeit, I wouldn't be surprised that it is counterfeit too.

GUS SMYTHE · 11 June 2013, 09:00 AM

I fully agree with Springer...the case is a fake...do not buy it and go to the RSC to have it back...waste of time and money...
Kindest regards and best luck next time

kevin2210 · 11 June 2013, 01:15 PM

That's ok, the seller pay for the checking fee. Let me confirm you allthe RSC checking result after i got it with the seller.

high5 · 11 June 2013, 10:25 PM

RSC may not be able to tell....
