Hello all, I have this old Rolex (#338078) here that belong to my late grandfather, and was passed down to me after sitting in a bottom drawer for 20 years. (not currently working)

We have No idea how or when he got it. We "think" it may have come back with him after he served in the RCAF (attached with the RAF) in England from 1941-1946 as a tail gunner in a Lancaster bomber.

Any information would be GREATLY apprecieted!! Thanks!!!

Well, you're not off to a good start.....

The Sub is a fake, so this whole thread is now moved to the 'watchout' section!!

As for the vintage, I'm skeptical!!

Calling it a Sub is an insult to all the real ones out there

montpyt · 19 July 2012, 01:50 PM

I am speechless......that Sub is hands down one of the worst ones I've seen on here. Now it begs the question, does the person not know and assume it's real? Or is it a scam artist trying to solicit responses from the knowledge base here to make a better fake?

dieseldragon · 19 July 2012, 02:35 PM

fugly as hell!

crawlmachine · 19 July 2012, 02:42 PM

Now thats a POS I can easily identify!

MrRolly · 19 July 2012, 03:17 PM

A Comex with rings and ROLEXROLEX in the inside of the bezel?

By asking this question and even owning a fake, you probably have lost all credibility here.

What the hell does credibility have to do with it. I put a picture on here asking for info, and you guys have proven to be totally useless. Thanks for nothing.

x2! Without credibility you have nothing.

BOA · 20 July 2012, 09:10 AM

A U.S. or Canadian quarter or other familiar coin would have served for size comparison; instead you chose a fake watch in a forum resolved do all it can to help stamp out such things, which pretty much makes you an idiot for expecting any help here.

NEXT: You call the police useless after you take a stash of weed to them asking simply that they separate out the oregano for you.

On this forum, and with the POS scammers who prey on the unsuspecting, credibility is EVERYTHING!!!

Your original question was valid, your 'comparison' with a fake, was not....
I gave you the benefit of the doubt and allowed your post to see the open boards in the hope of awareness and possible swindle against you.

However, seeing as you knew the one was fake, and then proceeded to call the TRF collective of a fine group, who together know more than any AD you could walk in, 'useless', your time here is now done.....

Thank you sleddog!

dieselgeek · 20 July 2012, 11:11 AM

OP forget these other guys. They are just being rude.

I've taken a good look at your grandfathers watch and compared it to some photos of a similar watch I've seen. From what I can tell that watch is also 100% counterfeit. So it looks like you and your grandfather had the same values.

Too good!!

I do see the trend with new members posting "what is wrong with this watch?" Kind of makes you wonder...

I cannot believe you actually made this statement and obviously believe it.

People like you make me loose all hope in humanity.
