Authentic Replica

You can see the LEC in this fake:

TT blue Sub

And the printed CRB in this one:

Daytona

Best line: "The pictures you see are of Actual Replica Watches, You will get exactly the same watch you see in the Pictures"

I love their disclaimers,

"Do not swim with this watch on" "May not actually tell the time" "Watch parts may expire if you move the watch in a hurried fashion".

Top quality pieces for those with taste.

It's almost like 'we guarantee not to guarantee it will work under any circumstance'.

It's hiding, because it's outdated...

Interesting that the Daytona has the rehaut engraved with Rolex, but not the serial number. Nice try, but not quite right.

I just went to the site for the first time in my life and my shopping cart has 6 items already. Apparently, I need 6 Daytonas :)

Lame.

LEC = Laser Etched Crystal - this is the laser etching on most Rolex watches after 2003. The etching can only be spotted at the 6 o'clock position on the crystal using a 10x loupe and a fairly good reading lamp.

CRB = Chapter Ring Branding - this is the Rolex inscription right around the ring that surrounds the dial.

Thanks JJ,
Anyone know if their is a place I can find rolex abbreviations.
So far I think I figured out some:
YG DD = Yellow Gold Day Date
DJ = Date Just
SS = Stainless Steel
WG = White Gold
MOP Dial = ????
TT = ????
Thanks for the help

Uhhh man I was hoping to find a SS GMT-IIc replica. I was going to dump my authentic one for the replica since they now replicate CRB on the replicas.

Sticky is a thread that is displayed on top of every page in the forum. Typically, these are important threads, e.g. FAQ or rules.

MOP is mother of pearl, btw.
