I need your expert opinions (link:http://ablogtoread.com/watch-buying/...ads-and-grads/). See the picture in this post.

Is it me, or does this Expy II seem off? The crown looks like it's the triplock crown, which I thought was incorrect for this model, and the magnification looks incorrect...

Did they actually post a fake picture (in error I hope)? Or am I just off?

The lugs look wrong too now that I compare to a picture from the Rolex website.

diablojota · 17 June 2009, 09:15 AM

One more thing, I just want your feedback before I inform the site that they've posted a fake watch, if it is deemed to be such.

This is a picture from Rolex. It's part of their Exp II wallpaper collection.

And they have replaced the offending picture. Sweet.

The Explorer II on their website is fake bigger than Dallas.

I actually emailed them and they responded promptly and changed the picture. If you go directly to the site now, they have updated with a shot of the watch from a Rolex advert.

Yeah, I just saw that....I guess I am a little late on that one.

Here is the picture they used to update it with:

Haha, no worries. It was a real bad fake!

Glad that one got cleared up

unbelievable stuff Frank, but its nice to see the owner of the site was swift on the correction :-)

idk01 · 17 June 2009, 09:59 AM

just got that fresh pot of coffee on too, I cant find that other stock photo anywhere

most of the faker sites have better looking crown and crown guards :-)

Note to self, this is TRF not messenger

lucky I didn't type anything rude hahahhaha

Yep, you missed the messenger on this one Dave. I don't know about you, but it is a much smaller window for me
