If you don't mind me asking what did it go for? And, how does it wear? Wait, did I just show how much of a Noob I am as well? I meant to say how is the weight of the watch, is the crystal sapphire and is is waterproof/water resistant?

I can answer some of your questions:
It wears huge and heavy. It is NOTHING like any other Rolex, and lacks the quiet sophistication which make Rolex what it is, which is why I literally gave mine away to another member after never wearing it out of my bedroom.
Yes - sapphire crystal.
NO REP IS WATER RESISTANT UNTIL YOU PERSONALLY HAVE IT TESTED!! Many DSSDs suffer from leaks at the non-sealed fake He valve, so they should never be trusted even for rigorous hand washing.
This is a standard Noob Factory DSSD. A nice watch but the bezel engraving is a bit thin. Also on this one, the rehaut is misaligned, which Noob Factory is usually pretty good about. (Honestly - why is it so frickin' hard to properly engrave the Rolex rehauts?? Anyone????)
As for what it went for, I don't know. I don't even know who Mary is. If is is running a 21J movement, probably @ $150. With a high-beat clone, probably @ $325. With ETA, @ $400ish. But don't quote me on these prices... they change constantly.

NOTE: Not a trusted dealer to the best of my knowledge. Maybe a good safe source, but I'm not familiar with her. Buyers should proceed with caution.

And fat hourmarkers. Pretty basic noob, at least the 10 is aligned.

But this crown alignment craze is a bit OTT, check this pic from Rolex official site:

TB - I've never heard of this dealer. When did she become a viable source around here? Does she offer any advantage over our other more known dealers?

She's trusted at www.replica-watches-guide.com mate and any dealer trusted there is trusted here and visa versa. If a Darksider has an issue with a RWG1 dealer he only has to contact a mod at RWG1 to help sort it out.


It's the same noob as bk sells guys, the difference being the date wheel. You don't think bk receives special noobs do you?

EDIT: Mary's section at RWG1: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showforum=75
She has a website as well, can't remember the URL but if you find it ignore the prices, the website is not meant for forum folk.

Same reason I haven't asked MReplica over to RWG1, if we stretch these small one (wo)man dealers to thin they get too busy and the quality of service drops like a stone.

Also note the 12 hour mark. It´s not perfectly centered on the GEN, Strange,

I´d just like to stress that the Official Rolex Site uses 3D RENDERS to show the details of the watches in macros...
..It´s not a real watch, and the errors and differences that you will see there are because of outdated 3D models...

The only way to check the details is having the real deal at hands, so, go to an AD and check it for yourselves, mates =)

Cheers,
Spirit.

I think if you pay attention to how the alignment shifts slightly from the ten o'clock position as it goes around the rehaut that it is due to the canted angle of the watch in the photo. I often have similar effects when taking photos in macro mode as the slight tilt of the watch will make letters on the rehaut appear to be misaligned. When viewed from above or across they are straight.

Note the same effect on the image below...you can see the letters start to "shift" as they pass the date on the right getting worse as it comes around.
