So a dude that works for Rolex wears a fake Rolex? This dude is your sister's husband's friend. I'm so confused. I'll go back to sleep now.

The "weird thread with responses" is hilarious. I also don't see any problem here.

I must confess I’m slightly baffled by this.

The Sub look like Noob China replica. I think we should close this thread and stop pointing fault in it.

The weird part is this is on the front page and it’s not a complaint about availability.

This is the weirdest post I ever came across. But I am so proud of the folks at TRF for shooting straight and telling like it is. Can't fool TRF.

Is he wearing someone’s watch that doesn’t belong to him? In other words, he is wearing a strangers RSC repair, personally? That also would be weird.

You beat me to it.

Surely that’s the weirdest part, someone that works for Rolex wearing a customer’s watch.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that would never happen!

The rehaut engraving seems to be really odd for some reason.

is this forum being used by the replica manufacturer, seeking kind of final approval before product release? I've read similar posts before.

That’s exactly what I meant in my post (#47). I wouldn’t be surprised that this is what the OP is up to.

Cyclops looks wrong but don't see why any half-decent faker would come here, those other forums are very advanced now and the fakes very accurate nowadays.

Sorry for the bad quality pics.







It looks pretty normal to me. It's gonna take an awful lot of aggressive whole-case polishing by an expert to fix it. Hope your friend has the skills!

Thank you all for your lovely posts and thank you for your support!!

Thanks for all the claims that im checking a fake rolex in this forum !!

Shame on you !!

Really guys you are sooooo BORED in your life and don't even have any positive attitude, maybe you're just some pampered kids staying 24/7 on this forum doing nothing.
Any way it's a waste of time chatting here and my fault was to open a thread like this one. Hope someone close this thread asap !!
I just realized that this kind of posts doesn't give you any POLITE answers and it's good to know that it's all bullshit to chat with U.

Have a great boring time kids.

I think your friend has been victimized by a fake Sub. Sorry I won’t go into all the points but these 2 pictures should help.

A real Sub is the first pic. No date but focus on the dial.



I blew up one of the pics you posted.




And a final closeup of the area he should focus upon taken from a real one.

Hey Lad

You're right for one thing: it's definitely YOUR fault.

Sheesh, cht, that was freaking nice!!!!

After the troll wrote:
"you're just some pampered kids staying 24/7 on this forum doing nothing"
"it's a waste of time chatting here"
"it's all bullshit to chat with U"
"Have a great boring time kids"

I would have been tempted to respond with "Go FK yourself." But, that wouldn't be nice, so I won't. Kudos to you for the nicest response to a nasty troll.

Watch looks fake to me for a number of reasons including the bezel markers very thin font compared to the real thing. Also, would not be surprised if our forum was being used as a testing platform for fake china stuff prior to launching on the market.
