The watch parts?

Rolex does not make a PVD watch, so the coating is not "OEM".

japenney · 29 November 2016, 06:10 AM

I think he means the dial and movement are oem. The watch is obviously PVD which is not original.

Chewbacca · 29 November 2016, 06:32 AM

technically, no... but it is (stated) as OEM. i ssume the seller means base oem with applied pvd.

OEM by definition is original equipment manufature(d).

the finished product is now modded.

(this probably didn't help)

20!

Watch is not oem in my opinion with the PVD. Yes it's all original but isn't factory in terms of finish.

Dirt · 29 November 2016, 06:48 AM

The watch is molested.
In the main, it's worth less than a freshly serviced(RSC with 2 year warranty) watch of the same vintage.
Unless someone specifically wants a PVD coated Sub then you're SOL and should expect no bites or a significantly reduced price at it stands.

That's life.
Enjoy.

Sorry.
It's not original by any stretch of the imagination.

Yep.
Crystal, Bezel insert and internals only

stash21 · 29 November 2016, 07:34 AM

Not oem. And it looks rubbish.

77T · 29 November 2016, 08:10 AM

If I repaint my car, it's still OEM.
The listing is clear on the points of what's been done to it.
No buyer would fooled into thinking Rolex did the PVD treatment. Is it all original? no.
But if I brushed the PCLs in a new Daytona or polished an Explorer case to a mirror finish, they are both OEM.

Onikage · 29 November 2016, 08:12 AM

Rolex themselves certainly wouldn't recognise it as such. It's fashioned from an original Rolex but is now an ex-Rolex. If I add to a Picasso in a hallucinating stupor would it still be a Picasso? Perhaps more importantly would anyone buy it as such?

cdmorenot · 29 November 2016, 08:15 AM

By the simple definition of what OEM stands for, yes, it is 100% OEM.

Andad · 29 November 2016, 08:26 AM

If you repaint your car it is not original.

Neither is this Rolex.

What seems to be so difficult to understand?

RichM · 29 November 2016, 09:53 AM

I guess I'd ask myself, if I sent it in to Rolex for service, what would they tell me?

Fleetlord · 29 November 2016, 11:27 AM

Umm...It's just a sub with an aftermarket DLC or the like coating on it...

Seen bunches of them. Some people like them...others clearly don't...including Rolex who won't service it in any way.

Other wise, not a big deal in the slightest.....not at all actually...

That depends, obviously, on whom you ask.

To some here, it is a really big deal.

I would say that to a person who likes a PVD Rolex, it's not a big deal.

southcarolina1801 · 29 November 2016, 01:12 PM

Whoever is appraised that watch at $14,500 is crazy. I'd be shocked it we were worth more than $3 or $4k.

locutus49 · 29 November 2016, 01:34 PM

Not OEM IMHO. Worth maybe 5K at most, probably sell for 4K.
