Hey ya’ll I hope the seller doesn’t come after me but check out this listing.. I don’t know if I have it in me to report suspicious but thought it might be interesting to share

Here you can see genlike aerial alignment

And here they’ve managed to take the picture at the exact time of the instant date change

I'm no expert, but that looks bad. I thought the date on the 3135 is supposed to immediately change at 12 o clock sharp. This one seems to slowly change between 10 to 2 o clock

I am no rolex expert, but the bezel, pearl and SELs look terrible for me. Must be a rep (bad rep).

Omg that insert. There are so many problems with that watch that I don't even know where to start. 100% fake.

Alright good so I wasn’t just imagining it.. they wanted 10K for this watch with no papers.. now I wonder what chrono does once it’s reported

im curious about the story of that sale, the seller could have paid alot of money for a replica without knowing or he is intentionally trying to scam some poor bastard..

How about this SS smurf with an aftermarket insert and dial?

Look at that date. It looks left justified. Anyone have any thoughts. The lugs look big for gen but I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me.

The biggest tells for me are on the dial which we know has been replaced.

After that it's the date wheel which looks too much to the left.

Also the crystal and this crystal seems to be pretty damn reflective.

Looks like a gen sub with a crap dial and insert fitted.
