Do you know your reps? The 116500LN Panda challenge!

[helloihvbigboobs]

[/IMG]Hello folks,

Seeing the community pursuing the ultimate build and discussing the best OTB Rolex. I though why not do things the reversed way. A little fun here before X'mas. With your rep knowledge and trained eye. What flaws can you see? Some parts are gen some parts are reps.

Sniff the photos in details and comment below!! Rate this rep out of 10!

Will have the confirmed list posted after.

Have to disagree. To me the hands look Gen. Especially the subdial hands.
Bracelet seems to be rebrushed.

 

[MarkMarky]

I'm 100% sure the movement is rep! ????

 

[Tschacko]

Hands are gen, Dial looks Noob

 

[PAMorROLEX]

Case thickness of a NOOB is 12.5mm I believe, this one is at 12.3mm
Dial: NOOB V4?
Hands: Gen
Crown: Gen
Pushers: NOOB
Bracelet: NOOB Re-brushed or a Gen
Bezel: NOOB

Just a wild guess

Well the case seems to be reshaped as well. Especially the lugs look more fluid (do not know how to better describe it in English) than on a standard Noob. Total height o 12,3 mm is not unusual if you shave the crystal gasket or use as in this case a transparent one.

Regarding Crown and pushers: I am not sure about this. They might be gen, but to be sure we would need higher resolution pictures. To be honest, the Crown (apart from water proofing issues) and the pushers are the last parts I would change on a Noob. For my old eyes, they are good enough.

Bezel: I do not think it is a CF. And as Gen ones are extremly rare and expensive as hell, I would say it is a Noob, probably with a paint mod.

Dial looks like a Noob to me. That “O” in Rolex always stands out to me.

Yep, hands are Gen, Noob Dial may be v2.2, Bracelet may be ARF or Gen

Doing quite well for a wild guess! How about other parts?

 

[PAMorROLEX]

What else out there mate? Maybe a Crystal? I don't see any visual differences in the V4 NOOB crystal and a Gen ones (Or maybe it is just me)

Really? Are you saying the noobs can't even get the font right?

 

[helloihvbigboobs]

YES! Pam is right! The “O” is off. Shape more like a “0” .

Yup ^-^
Noob is notorious for this. It makes spotting their watches easier though haha

Noob Dial, Noob Case (polished/refinished) and Noob pushers
Gen Hands, crystal and Crown
Gen bracelet (or probably Noob bracelet and ARF clasp but is polished/refinished)

 

[bosaftw]

Case is Noob as gen lugs are not that round but sharper.
Hands are gen.

What do you think about the bezel?????
