I'm quoting crick.

Just trying to make sense of it.

First he's scammed

Then he's not

Still not happy

Then he is

Then he's not

Then he decides to keep it but changes the header

Then he asks for a partial refund

Then some of the pics in question disappear

Tosses a few insults

Then he changes the header again

Now he was lied to again

Very confusing.

simple solution post the pictures on time zone and see what the experts tell you it is a genuine rolex movement nothing fake at all
five experts including official rolex watchmakers inspected the mvt and said that it has aftermarket parts
even rbj said that it is very often for these mvts to have aftermarket parts

you saw two pics of it and you want to have an opinion???
go take a shower

it's not an opinion, it is a fact, genuine rolex movement, but hey, lets not believe me or your five experts (you must live in a big city in greece where there are 5 rolex experts) do as i ask, post this on timezone and then we can see that you are a lyar

don't take my word for it, go and post the pictures of the movement on timezone and see what the experts say, what are you afraid of, or if you like i will post the pictures for you. it's a genuine rolex 1570, no one makes aftermarket parts for rolex. if you say they do then post the link or the site where you can buy these aftermarket parts for rolex, not crystals and stuff, movement parts show us

you have done this same thing in the past, this is not the first time and will not be the last and members here need to know exactly what type of person you are, a disturbed one for sure.

hopefully everyone on this forum and all the others will be known about you so they can be warned to stay away from you

obviously you didn't take a shower

RBJ said that it is often for these mvts to have aftermarket parts, not me
There are at least 100 Rolex experts in Athens, Greece. Also, 15 Rolex ADs and one Rolex official service
More than most of the cities I know
I have dealt with more than 15 members here as a seller and buyer with not one problem

so...go take a shower

The only reason I'm not locking this up is because I want to see the truth come out. Lets keep it civil please.


@xbt123 you seem to have some intimate knowledge of gen pieces and of our little community here. Any other screen names you use on the other boards? I'll tell you for a fact that the watch service people I use fix 40 year old Rollies, Hamiltons, etc. where they get some of their part I have know idea, I will say that I know they actually make some of the parts they can't get.

Yes, please.

Keep it polite, fellas. Enough talk about showers and washing people's backs. If this turns into a flame war, we'll be forced to lock it.

my last post about his back was a joke that's why I included smiles :D :D :D
i just hate it that i keep getting offensive posts from members even after my decision to keep the watch
................
now i told the guy to take a shower just because i thought he didn't know what he was saying
it was not an insult :D

Oh and on a side note, I've gotta think that because Rolex doesn't service their pieces after a certain time frame there has to be someone making after market parts. Maybe I'm completely off base here but I can't believe someone wouldn't cash in on that segment of the market.

Yeah, somebody must make aftermarket parts. Anyone post the pics on TZ yet? I would be curious to know what they thought. It looks like a gen 1570 movement to me. I cant believe Rolex makes EVERY part of their watches. Its just not cost effective. I'll bet some of the screws and gears are made out house.

Get the pics on TimeZone, that probably clear up some of this crap.

No. But we can get a feel for wether or not its a gen movement (with or without aftermarket parts).

I would also be inclined to think there are more aftermarket parts for Rolex than people care to admit or realize. Heck it's illegal to make counterfeit Rollies but it's still done. There are also many ways and talents out there for parts replication on a small scale which has been previously mentioned. It would be naive to believe that aftermarket parts are not being made. Illegal or not.

It seems to be the general consensus that the base movement is genuine or at least the major parts and or the layout. The watch runs impecably. So....a craftsman made some aftermarket parts to make the watch work as designed or a watch smith put in some used genuine parts. To me this isn't really too big of deal because your buying a working watch that has been crafted to look as close to the gen as possible. Value? It is only worth what the highest bidder will pay. The same would hold true for my franken SMP. In most cases a franken is only worth more parted out as Fakemaster mentioned. So, if another buyer loves this franken then he/she should buy it and wear it in good health.

So in summary: Genuine / Aftermarket what's the big deal? Your buying a franken. If you love it, keep it, if your unsatisfied don't.
