Hi All!,

I am writing to ask you for help with a topic. I have been studying the world of Rolex Replicas for a short time, especially about the replicas of the Daytonas, which today is my favorite watch. I have read many reviews about different ARF and NOOB models, their fundamental differences, etc. As well as I have read about the most well-known Trusted Rep Dealers.

The fact is that recently I saw the unbox of a Daytona (I think a 116508 YD), which was served to the buyer in superb conditions. I have not seen before an unbox like this.

I have reviewed the best known Trusted Dealers and none of them serves their watches that way. It is true that almost all of them sell the box separately. But analyzing the box that they sell, and what it contains, I think that the unbox is not close to what is seen in this video.

The video is in the following link, it is November 2018, so it is quite recent.

After watching the video, do you think that it is really a replica? And if you think so, what do you think the Dealer can be?

Thank you!

Of course it’s a replica. Why would you want a rep shipped with box and papers? It increases the customs risks substantially.

It's just personal taste. I would like to have the impression of receiving the watch in the most genuine way possible.

Are the gen hands supposed to turn clockwise when the crown is turned clockwise? (Like on 3135 and the clone SH3135)
Thank you...

It’s a rep and not even a good one. The box looks like something my kids made out of a Kleenex box. Use your money to get a good replica. Forget about the dog sh!t box and papers.

Whats the point?

Wrapped in bubblewrap in a brown cardboard box is better.

And it would appear, in a box that also includes Calvin Klein underwear fakes...

It's a chunky old 7750 based one. Just look at the bezel angle...it should be almost flat. Side note, that style Daytona rep is pretty unreliable due to the movement and specifically the modifier plate to move the subdials location.

Also the model reference is 16610 on the warranty card, dead give away as all of these replica box and papers seem to be for subs.

Why? You won't fool yourself mate, you know it's fake.


Oh and, real crappy fake complete with papers and warranty card for a submariner and do you really think that Rolex have their watches tested and "authenticated" by some crappy Chinese company? :D
