Yes metal has a glossy look, ceramic is flat. It is pretty much an instant tell.

This BLRO from a not specified factory can be found at ts-watches:

It's cheap and has quite some flaws, but they claim that this model has a ceramic bezel. I'm not a extremely familiar with Rolex reps, so it's hard to say IMHO, but something tells me that this isn't ceramic. Anyway, not so shabby for this price, or?

Insert colors are alright. It’s not a great rep, dw is fucked, shape isn’t off, and bezel most certainly isn’t ceramic. All in all is not terrible though.

I really wish we had videos videos of theses watches because colors (which seem to Ben the main issue here) really needn’t to be seen under moving lights in order to be understood

Given how long it took rep makers to produce a decent LV ceramic bezel.. we may be years away. The gen is very dynamic , picked mine up last week at the AD and it’s totally different colors indoors vs outdoors vs shade vs artificial lighting etc

Wow!! See it to believe it.
Could it be a Rolex's strategy for not getting copied so easily and confuse the rep buyers?

if that is the latest GMF factory version is the same as the last one except the movement had the Correct hand stack or CHS as referred to here. Unless you want to have the movement serviced immediately I’d go for the previous version. As the CHS movement can be temperamental and if you set it wrong it will break and cannot be fixed.
