Sorry Steve that someone tries to take advantage of you!
It may seems like a dumb question but I try to learn more about the GMT II, have one myself original with paperwork etc from 1995, but can somebody point out to me the 8 fake signs

thanks Oliver

diablojota · 25 June 2009, 12:28 AM

I'll start the list:
1 - Crown is wrong
2 - the hands are in the wrong order
3 - crown guard wrong
4 - lugs are wrong
5 - date magnification is wrong.

janusinvestment · 25 June 2009, 12:32 AM

thanks Frank appreciate it, always good to learn something

magnification is the quickest give-away.

Very true, but Oliver did ask for 8, I just started the list. I could come up with 3 more, but I don't feel quite as comfortable with the other possible tells.

I agree, 3 more are due!

Given the blurriness of the photos it's hard to tell, but here are 3 more:
6. The SELs are too big and protrude too far both high and long.
7. The bezel numbers look like they are pushed too far out from the middle (too close to the outer edge).
8. The 4th hand arrow is too small.

janusinvestment · 25 June 2009, 02:48 AM

wow you guys are good the first 5 makes sense after really looking at it the other 3 wow again, almost impossible to spot.

thanks again everybody

Oliver

9.? Spacing on "Swiss Made" looks wrong.

GMTJOHNNY · 25 June 2009, 12:13 PM

10. Center links probably solid and not hollow?

That is speculation. We don't know for sure.

11. The tired old, "I got this from someone and I don't know much about Rolexes" hogwash that accompanies the attempted ripoff.
12. The here's-damning-proof-of-Nessie-and-Bigfoot's-love-child-taken-during-a-major-earthquake-type photo.

Damn fools have no shame.
