Just for fun / educational purposes.........

BTW, what is that black looking stamp on the case in the last picture...

RedBaronF2001 · 20 August 2009, 10:42 AM

I'm still a newb, but that looks pretty authentic to me.

mcjp6 · 20 August 2009, 11:07 AM

What is your assessment based on?

Danely · 20 August 2009, 11:30 AM

I am going with fake, because the finish of the steel seems a bit rough, especially the bezel "knotches", and the brush/polising marks on the bracelet don't look fine enough....but I am a newbie too.

I may be wrong but I don't like the crown, the bezel font looks wrong and the dial printing spacing.

OK, I have been eyeing a sub @ my local AD and was wondering what that was... Is it easy to remove and why do they put it on there?

toph · 20 August 2009, 11:40 AM

thats 100% genuine- no doubt, either that or my eyes arent what they used to be!

swatty · 20 August 2009, 11:44 AM

Looks OK to me

meznpez · 20 August 2009, 11:51 AM

I'm gonna go with authentic but I almost hope I'm wrong because I surely would love to learn something.

Mrdi · 20 August 2009, 12:07 PM

That black sticker is the magnetic price indicator used on the Wal-Mart watches, so they can run-em thru the register quickly.

02transam · 20 August 2009, 12:09 PM

Here are some more pics to help you guys decide :-)

haha funny

chriseskew24 · 20 August 2009, 12:14 PM

looks good to me. But i would like to see the clasp to make my final decision.

02transam · 20 August 2009, 12:19 PM

Here is a pic off the rolex website to compare it to.

tudorman8276 · 20 August 2009, 12:22 PM

...they have been sand blasted.

...NEVER seen one with a finish that looks that bad.

chriseskew24 · 20 August 2009, 12:28 PM

Finish dose look rough. But i still rest on the fact that it is real.

02transam · 20 August 2009, 12:42 PM

Blowing things up....

Gen

Watch in question

mcjp6 · 20 August 2009, 12:45 PM

like I said....fake. dial printing around swiss made is off

meznpez · 20 August 2009, 12:47 PM

"SWISS MADE" is totally off...
I'm beginning to think.

96'993 · 20 August 2009, 12:54 PM

Well by those two pics looks fake because look at the 4

02transam · 20 August 2009, 12:54 PM

Ok, I may be seing things now, but the swiss made writing location in correspondence with the second markers on both of the gen pics is completely different.... What is up there?

Anyway, I also noticed the font on the 4 in 40 is also different between the 2 gen pics i've posted............. Um, hmmmmm

Were there different model GVs?

chriseskew24 · 20 August 2009, 01:00 PM

Swiss Made is fine on the pictures. the 4 is fine as well. That watch is fine.

meznpez · 20 August 2009, 01:04 PM

Also checked the Rolex site. Exactly the same dial. There must be at least two different (authentic) dials made. I stand by my decision. I think it's authentic.

vandehat · 20 August 2009, 01:21 PM

authentic. The polished sides of the case look rough because the protective plastic is still on the case(you can see the tab hanging down from the bottom of the case). Rolex has changed the four on the bezel "40" from a squared off 4 and pointed 4 as well as different markings of "swiss made". My LV has the "5 ticks" swiss made markings and an oval "O" in ROLEX. So- many different versions all authentic.

Boopie · 20 August 2009, 02:38 PM

I thought the number "4" on the bezel is always printed the same way. That was one of the quickest ways, I thought, to detect a fake. I'm glad to know that there is some variance there.

swatty · 20 August 2009, 06:39 PM

The one on the Rolex site doesn't have the Rolex, Rolex on the Rehaut. They must have changed font and dial print on later models . Still think its real.

idk01 · 20 August 2009, 07:32 PM

Its 100% fake guys! and its damn close to the real thing but fake, and for 160 Quid you could have fungus on your wrist :-)
