Sorry if this post is in the wrong place or not in line with policies, but I am brand new and have specifically registered to ask just this one question.

This watch is from my father's estate and I know nothing about it except what I see. I am suspicious that this is a replica because ....

made in Hong Kong
no model #
no serial #

There are no markings of any sort on the rear of the watch.

All of dad's watches (he had others) would be anywhere from (very roughly) 10 to 30 years old. The print at the bottom of the face, in case you can't read it from the photo, says ...

1000FT - 300M
SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED

and then in the very bottom HONG KONG.

Would appreciate any comments or opinions.

The worst I've seen, sorry.

Rydah · 17 May 2011, 02:59 PM

usbzoso · 17 May 2011, 03:16 PM

bkandj2000 · 17 May 2011, 03:17 PM

I'm sorry for your father's passing.

However, that watch... it's not even close. Wow.

springer · 17 May 2011, 03:42 PM

That is really a poor counterfeit, very poor indeed.

Dr.Brian · 17 May 2011, 03:51 PM

I'll say this, it looks pretty worn, so I guess he enjoyed wearing it.

dantheman20192 · 17 May 2011, 03:59 PM

Wow..... so many jokes about the death and the watch but I will leave it alone lol.

Were did you get that idea from??

I read the whole post and was making fun of the fake watch.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 17 May 2011, 07:58 PM

My comment was not a joke. I don't care what other people wear. The watch is well used, be must have liked it. Good for him for enjoying it. There are many people who don't seem to actually wear and enjoy their watch collections around here.

Art 1 · 17 May 2011, 08:53 PM

Of course it's fake. But like Dr. Brian says. He looks as if he enjoyed wearing it and that is what counts most.

Horrendous.

I know next to nothing about spotting fakes and even I can tell this one isn't real.

Did the Rolex crown placed over the 12:00 marker give you a clue?

globalmedia33 · 18 May 2011, 03:18 AM

Real.

hehehehehe

Mar122 · 18 May 2011, 05:24 PM

I don't think there has been a worst fake ever made than this one. It is absolutely horrendous

denzo · 19 May 2011, 07:34 AM

bewithabob · 19 May 2011, 07:40 AM
