It was an interesting post but 10 years have passed - how much has changed?

Great post - I wonder how much of this is relevant and what drew “new” lies told today are.

Look at some of the Sales listing where it is listed as Super Franken where no real justification can be credited to the seller when all they have done is replace Gen Gaskets (really?) , case cleaned,
and replaced date magnification. It should be listed as modded.

Funny, I read this and immodestly went to see if the time on some td sites was set to 10:10, and all watches on a few td sites are set to that time but they are tds on this forum, so are tds using pictures of genuine?

Lie #6: The best Rolex replicas are made with 904L grade steel.

-- Big fat lie. Good replicas are made with 316L quality steel. Rolex is one of the few companies that use 904L steel and it costs 3 times as much as 316L. Replicas are not made with 440 steel, either.
.

i see this post was made about 10 years ago so i suppose somethings have changed since then. what about the newest Noob and ARF replicas using 904L steel?

They are making watches from 904l now. I saw tests that showed it’s true. Can’t find them right now.

The rep game has come on a long way in ten years.

Well now I am a bit concerned about that hands at 10&10 part, cause I am looking at a website now, one of the trusted reps on here, and they are all 1010 lol.

EDIT

Trusted Dealers use genuine pictures as the first picture only so that you can compare the difference with the remainder,
