A friend of mine went to NY not too long ago and bought this P.O.S. He just showed it to me. I had to take a pic.

Enjoy!!

JJ Irani · 1 August 2007, 04:10 AM

Those idiots couldn't even get the model no. right!!

Rubenonfire · 1 August 2007, 05:01 AM

Obviously

because it's a fake!
BUT, that blue bezel is reminiscent of those old Cartier Subs, and they sure would look pretty with the blue dial and bezel like that!

dnr21 · 1 August 2007, 06:28 AM

the triple crown is too small for the crown guards!!! and the bezel pearl is badly done...

C.J. · 1 August 2007, 06:30 AM

Wow. I could hardly tell it wasn't real

craig a. thomas jr · 1 August 2007, 06:30 AM

The Second hand is too short. First thing that hit me right off.

Although I am a noob when it comes down to Rolex, even I can see that there are too many bad things

colemanitis · 1 August 2007, 06:52 AM

That's a horrible fake. That can probably be had in NYC for around $15.

Robb
would you please list the flaws along with the pic?
I for one am not familiar with identifying fakes.
If they are pointed out the they may become more apparent to those of
us who don't handle a number of different Rolex models.
Thanks,

Mrdi

Gaijin · 1 August 2007, 07:04 AM

The first thing I was going to say is SS Blue Sub!?

Wasn't there long ago a real SS Blue Sub in limited numbers?

To my knowledge Rolex never made a SS Sub with blue dial AND bezel. If they did, it is EXTREMELY rare. Rolex did send some to Cartier that Cartier put blue bezels on, but those are not only EXCEPTIONALLY rare and expensive but also have black dials that SAY Cartier on them.
The pearl dot on the bezel at 12 o'clock is missing.
The hands are too short
The crown is too small, making the crown guards look obscene.
The model number is incorrect, and so is the hologram.
The text above 6 o'clock is not straight and aligned properly.
The cyclops is too large.
The SWISS T-25 is incorrect...it should read SWISS T<25 if it has a more recent tritum dial.
This is more MHO, but the lugs are too wide and smooth.
The bracelet is also incorrect.

Other than that, though, they did a great job...

Hope this helps!

P.S. Guys, please check my work!

Look at the pearl dots how badly placed they are on the metal, even by hand you could do a better job

SPACE-DWELLER · 1 August 2007, 08:46 AM

This is really one of the most pathetic fakes I have seen!

Why on earth did your friend buy it? Really, he MUST have realized it was a fake!

Robb · 1 August 2007, 08:52 AM

He knew it was a fake. He bought off the side of the street, you know the guys standing around with the breifcases??

He knows nothing about watches,just knew that im obsessed and bought it just to see if he could pass it as a real one on me.

Come on, are you kidding me????

I harrassed him so bad about it, he told me to keep it. Should I smash it and take a pic??

nikhsub1 · 1 August 2007, 09:32 AM

OMG it says LEXRO on the hologram like on JJ's watch!

mike · 1 August 2007, 02:55 PM

My AD has a lot of those,

He's obviously been in the business a long time -- check out his vintage Horological Institute of America cap.

Plus he can meet or beat the grey marketers on price because he has low overhead and passes the savings on to his savvy clients.

Buy with confidence!
