Hi, can anyone shed some light on whether this pepsi insert is real or not?

Cheers!

Looks good to me

Edit, not sure, actually, the triangle at the top...

Looks good to me. Worn out pad, super fat font.

Semi OK with it - would want sharp macros of the 22 8 18 to be more sure ;)

Would need to compare to my files but I do have a little bit of reservation with it

Qwerty01 · 3 June 2016, 03:40 AM

thanks for all the input so far.

the reason why I am asking is that it looks a bit different to the other FAT FONT inserts I have seen. I find the 2 and 22 touching the top too much (no gap) and the 8 from the 18 normally touches the red colour and this one does not

However I did managed to find a picture on the web which is pretty close to my picture

Unfortunately I only have 1 pic atm. Would need more help! thx

I am not convinced.

Doesn't look like any that I have seen before.

Is it a red back?

Here are a couple super fat fonts for comparison.

An observation comparing the examples Springer posted: the red in the OP's insert ends at the "1" in "18" while in each of the other examples the red extends well past into the "8"

I would pass on it. The triangle, the split of the numbers and the way its faded put me off

droptopman · 3 June 2016, 06:17 AM

The 2's do look a little longer on the bottom curve than others. I was comparing it to mine which I happen to be wearing. Hard to do with just a loupe and one crappy pic. I just have not seen a fake like this before.

JP that first insert is a beauty. I love the fade on that.

Vincent65 · 3 June 2016, 07:42 AM

Here's my mega-fat one for comparison, also - note the small space above the top edge of the triangle at 12. There's blue between it and the edge of the bezel ring.

linesiders · 3 June 2016, 08:09 AM

See the squished 8 in the bottom super fats above?

Couple more examples

Qwerty01 · 3 June 2016, 12:08 PM

thanks everyone! really appreciated :))

Qwerty01 · 3 June 2016, 12:10 PM

yes i find the 22 and 2 touched the top too much (no gap) and the 8 from the 18 should be touching the red color and it doesnt. I thought it might be an rare genuine rolex insert but i doubt it. i did however found one pic on the web that looks like this one i posted but means nothing. Anyway thanks everyone, i think i will pass on :)
