I edit to be sure before I call something bad or accuse anyone, rsh has far more experience then I do.... It just looks wrong to me... Thank God I'm not the one buying it! Lol

Well guys. pics suck, perhaps on intention, but crown position looks right, on the front shots of the watch, you can clearly see the deep engraving, its so characteristic of gen, that alone is usually enough to tell, the AR on the crystal and the size of the date font, then look at the indices and lume....just looks too gen.

Yeah we don't want to call out something if it's gen rsh?
But it just looks bad ? Maybe just lighting! Plus the box looks rep to boot! But the hands and dial is what bothers me!
Something just don't look right?
Esp the close up pic of the CGs?

Just so everyone can see what the watch that I may one day own looks like instead of the gen on eBay for 12k here's what I hope to get for a little less:

What we have?

Same as an guy ask before with an Hulk version

Gen Complete Bezel
Gen MKII Dial (Remember there is no Rep of it! It has perfect Rims)
Gen Hands
Gen Crystal
The Watch have the thicker DateWheel Disc so maybe people think about this call it a rep?! But this is a Gen DateWheel
The CGs are Perfect! No rep Case have exactly same size on bottom and Top
The Sel Fit is Perfect also

so the Watch is 99,99% Gen

Np Mate ;)

But these Watch is an good exsample why it makes sense to use an TC DWO on our Rep (Franken) Watches
These Gen have the thicker DateWheel that Rolex use on some Subs and GMT

Some People ask me everytime if the TC DWO isn´t to thick...
So you see on that exsample, that the TC and or BK DWO isn´t wrong or too thick...

Normally this happend by Rolex when they have use an Movement of an older Batch or hadn´t enough DateWheels around on the Production and have use then older Steel Version DateWheels.

The most Ceramic Models have the newer thinner DateWheel build in, but you see here and there in the Wild
Watches with thicker DateWheels.

So not that the People missunderstood! The DateWheel is everytime the same size! It´s for an 3135 Movement... But there are different DateWheel Prints out...

The same we have with the Dials... There are 3 Different Gen Ceramic Dials out... 2 of them you see very often, the MKI and MKII...

If you ask Rolex self or order by Rolex an Dial as Spare Part you have only 1 order Number! By Rolex self there isn´t any MKI,II,III Dial... All Dials are the same!
And you can´t choose at the order by Rolex... If you tell them please send me MKII Dial they will tell you there is only 1 Dial for Ceramic out.

These differents on the Dial, Dates, Cermaic etc is made by the Human Nature...

I have talk often and long with Rolex Cologne (I know there at the mean Time an really old Guy, he is the Dinosaurus at Rolex Cologne)
So we have talk very often about difference and these and that, he has also invite me to visit Rolex.

It´s very interesting to hear all the things, how Rolex seems things and not...

So to write up all the things and differences isn´t possible ;) then i must write an Book hehee

But i can make it short in one Word... That the Old Guru told me...

Rolex give an P.... of the things that are visible! The real worth of an Rolex is the inside!
