Sub hulk ceramic real?

[AndreySPb]

Hello guys!
I own this watch since 2014, get them new from Finland with all documents and boxes. Please say me they are original.
I often visit biggest Russian watch forum and see fake rolex evolution – they get more and more look real (for users like me of course, not for professionals). And in some day, when I saw one more post on forum where somebody get fake I get a bit nervous )
Here pictures them new in box and now. Thank you!

Good question ))))

I didn’t bought this watch directly from dealer, they came to me throw the courier. And 3 years ago I wasn`t spend much time on watch forums.
Sometimes on Russian watch forum I see topics about fake Rolex when it`s very difficult to understand real/fake till see the caliber. And when I see this pictures the paranoia come to me )))
Same as this short story:

- Hi! How it`s going?
- Great! My wife has found that she has Allergy, Arrhythmia, Angina, Arthritis and Adenoma.
- Wow!
- It`s ok, she bought two great steaks yesterday and salesman wrap in on a sheet from the book “The medical encyclopedia - diseases on “A” letter”.

OP. You meant you didn't pick it up from the authorized dealer and the dealer shipped it to you? If not, Who did you buy it from? Did you have a good reason to suspect the seller is not selling a legit watch?

Exacly. I choose incorrect word. Not a courier, but a the intermediar in the purchase.
No, I don`t have any reasons and this seller still sell watches successfully, it was just paranoia "what if...." )

Not so sure. Bracelet/clasp is questionable.

Geneva is gene va.

Known issue with a high end fake series.

I agree that something looks off in regards to the bracelet. Don't want to say what though.

As far as the kerning goes, on all the clasps I have, the kerning between the "E" and "V" all look a tad bit off. However, the gap show in these photos are definitely "more defined" than on the clasps I have but it could be the angle of the photograph. Here's a picture of a good fake and the a real clasp...(not my pict, just found it on the web)



The BOTTOM clasp is the real one so maybe this one is legit...OP, could you take a better picture of the right side of the clasp, the part that says "STEELINOX" along with the date code.

Everything looks perfect to me

New photos/
the part that says "STEELINOX" same as bottom on your picture. letters not black, they are lightly stamped.

On second look, I feel that the spacing is relatively within range of genuine.

I heard that testing on timegrapher at AD can give an answer

Watch looks fine.

Not the case. Tons of fakes out there with relatively accurate, 28,800 BPH movements.

AndreySPb, I'm not expert but to me, those marking look fine. I'd be willing to say the clasp is indeed genuine. Well since the entire bracelet is probably genuine, I'll say what I thought might be off. The end links don't look right to me from the photo of the caseback. The curvature looks off compared to the ones I have. Granted, I don't have a Hulk so maybe that's just a variation or model specific thing compared to the ones I have or it could be the angle/lighting of the photo.

You would really need to see specific angles, to ensure presence or lack of the "black hole" effect.
