Hello vintage experts,
I'm making a lot of research on 79090 for months now and I think i slowly become better on discerning rep to gen.
I've seen this on CH24 sold by a "Professionnal" watchmaker.
To me, there is a few thing not good on this watch:
- wrong color bezel + lume pip. Cheap bezel. Size not correct : recent rolex bezel insert but not 5513. So the case (or bezel system) must be incorrect ?
- Date font totally incorrect
- Caseback engravings are totally off. Brushing is circular and recent.
- Dial looks like the raffle one
- I'm bugging with the CG and crown but not sure if i'm right ? This is something more difficult for me.
Am I fine or totally wrong and still need to learn a lot ?
If yes, I'm glad to have learned this skill from the rep community.
Thank you
