Excellent point.

8:22 - it's real bro

8:27 - from a wealthy friend - no way it's fake

10:45 - took it to a reputable shop - it's franken - going to fix.

Sounds like BS to me - if you look at the time of the posts.

Lets not jump to conclusions he could be with his "extremely wealthy friend who owns hundreds of watches" picking out a new one to show us!

I'm willing to bet that that's a fake.

Atleast it contains some fake bits! The 24H and looks strange. Look at the base of the hand where it is sat to the axel. It's huge!

Wonderful to have wealthy friends that trow around Rolex's.

This old fart is back. Funny. A guy from my church who lives down the street works at Windsor Jewelers in Augusta Ga. It comes in handy as he polishes my Expy2 and Breitling B1 for me free of charge and gets it back to me same day! He took it apart and went through things for me.
I don't wear fake watches... Bottom line.
He also has the parts I need to "restore" it.
Rich friends...funny.

Fact: you have a church friend who lives down the street from you
Fact: this church friend works at Windsor Jewelers
Fact: you first decided to come online to TRF and ask us to check out your watch

So please don't blame us for being a bit skeptical

That watch does not look like a franken Rolex.
It's a fake and the glossy lume surface will give you an idea that it certainly is!

The top post I've quoted you on, is asking for a recommendation on finding parts.
Now, in your last post, the guy who apparently works on your watches (and authenticated your fake), has the parts!?!?!
Convenient?? I think not!!

Your story is full of holes, and I've had enough of your lies!

can you imagine the conversation one would have in explaining why they would want a 24 hour hand on a sub dial. Fail

The watch this guy was questioning here is 100% counterfeit. They sell fake Submariners with GMT hands all over Chinatown in NYC. They are priced at the lower end of the fakes!!!!!!! But, the posts were entertaining! I got here too late for the fun.
