Hey guys. Im praying this is real and I didnt get burned...........

Thanks guys :)

I kind of doubt it is genuine. It looks like a pocket watch conversion? The subseconds at 9:00 in what looks to be a huge case sort of gives that away. Try to open the case back and photograph the movement. Rolex did make pocket watches, but not too many.

Was this bought from some guy in Ukraine? You see a lot of these over there.

me too. looks odd, had a look here http://www.vintagewatchcompany.com/the-collection and didn't see anything resembling it...

I agree with Adam , looks like a pocket watch conversion, a lot of those come from Europe.

Hank G · 31 October 2010, 12:39 AM

Even though it may be a conversion Is it still Rolex ? or just a fake all together?

I will pop the plate later
Thanks for the help!!!!!!

The movement might be real. I think the rest is unoriginal though.

Have you looked at the movement?

Michael M. · 1 November 2010, 12:09 AM

Yes, the movement might be real.

Hank G · 1 November 2010, 12:03 PM

Not yet. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what did you pay for it? You bought it without seeing the movement or having ANY references as to if it is even a real model that Rolex ever produced?

You are very brave my friend!
lol

I paid 700.00 for it, I still have not had a chance to get the cover popped.

I had to take a gamble on this one.............I would have regretted it if I didnt jump on it.

Hope I didnt F@#k up!!!!!
