Looks a little fishy to me, anybody know anything about the sky dwellers? Date mag seems totally off.

That date mag looks really fishy to me, however the 24hr complication on it matches up to the dial, which afaik isn't common on most reps. on the other hand, the hands could have been adjusted to match the 24hr complication, and not the other way around.

Date mag looks really fishy though like you said, in addition to being too high up in that date window. The newer models are especially accurate with those things, as the Skydweller is the most complicated movement Rolex has made to date if I recall correctly.

Skydweller is not fake, its genuine. Rolex have had problems with the cyclop.. They wont ever aknowledge that tho. I have seen some subs that look like pos on the date. Im talking about 2015-> versions.

If you look at the Skydwellers on Chrono24, a lot of them have cyclop magnification that look very similar. I would have a big problem if I paid that much for that watch and got such a crappy cyclop mag.

This is hilarious. I wish I could pick out reps vs gen that easily.

??? Really. What about the sel fitment on the left hand lugs and the date mag? Surely the date mag is way off??

Rolex doesn't give a f about the date mag anymore. There are so many out there with date mags way lower than 2.5x.

It has CHS and dial, hands and insert is gen. There is no way one could get those parts to build a franken of it.

Thanks for the reply. It looks crappy with low mag. Shame standards have slipped!

I kind of like it that way. Give me a few minutes. I'll dig out a good pic to show you.
