Getting this from a TD. Just wanted others opinions on if it's me, a bad camera shot, or if indeed the L in ROLEX looks weak to others. Not trying to be picky, Just would like another opinion.

How did you find RWI?

Honestly, through google. After that I scoured the top Rep watch sites and this one seemed the most honest and not a forum that is simply a shill for a TD. Been lurking on this forum for many years. I love watches. I finally decided to become one that joins in on the hobby vs just being one that reads everyone else's posts. Even Paid my dues to become a supporter to support the community.



Where did you get your replica fix before joining?

Many years ago when a friend of my dad brought me watch back from Canal st. in New York which was a terrible rep btw broke very shortly after it was given to me. Currently, My plan, if you will, is to get a nice rep then a few cheap ones and order some tools to mod\franken them myself. Obviously, I would practice on the cheap ones first. We will see how it goes and if the magnification I need to see the tiny watch parts is doable for me.

It looks fine. Don’t be too picky as no one in the world walks around with magnifying glass inspecting other people’s rolex.

The fact that the 30 min tic mark doesn't line up with the K in Ring Lock screams fake MUCH louder than the little squiggly bottom to the L in ROLEX

Like your rep for what it is, don't dislike it for what it isn't

I found a way around the K in Ring Lock issue :cool:

Forgive my ignorance. What is the "K in Ring Lock issue" After some searching I am drawing blanks on what this issue is. Feel free to enlighten me on this one.

Gens have the K on Ring Lock aligned to the 30 min tic mark. For some strange reason no rep maker gets this right, the text is misaligned. Quite obvious if you know about it.
