That’s funny, I lived in Spain the vast majority of my life and have NEVER seen anyone trying to sell me a fake Rolex. Is this a thing?

Just ignore him his whining on people pointing out flaws and tellying thats not doing anything. His several posts whining about it is apparently doing everything.

You dont live in a tourist trap im guessing. The looky looky men have real shit fake watches for sale, along with glasses etc

Well, how would you call Barcelona? A place with 1,6M population that at its peak welcomes 32M people?

Maybe because when I go down the seaside I pay no attention to the guys selling stuff in the beach. Who knows...

Yep, seaside resorts are rife with them. I think Hinclimcli is being deliberately obtuse.

Pointing out flaws is just fine, that's what these threads are for. Find me several posts where I am 'whining' about members like you who are continually whining on about the same flaws....this is the second in the entire thread and both relate to you. Now I am done with this bollocks and the thread needs to go back to the watch and no more carping on about the fecking rehaut. We know it's not as nice the ZZF....

F*ck me!!

Who is going to get that close to see the rehaut engraving in real life on your wrist and call it out?!

Unless you’re trying to scam a buyer or fool people on the ‘gram’?

Because, a crappy rehaut cant be replaced with gen. It's not really that complicated.

The dial on the QC pictures above looks crooked.
I believe I have seen several QC pictures from different users where this is the case.

Fair enough if you don't want to believe they are selling dh gate watches. Most Americans acknowledge canal street even if they haven't been there. All you get on british beaches is a bucket + spade and probably a cold.

Stop arguing guys, this isnt WatchUSeek, we’re adults here.

’Marrochini’ selling crap fakes on the beach is nothing like as common as it used to be - the EU has really cracked down on it. You can get a busted pretty bad for buying that stuff now.

You can still get them, but you need to ask the guy selling the towells / sunglasses first, and then he’ll go and find the guy with the watches.

Man, some of you are surely very picky. A $388 replica watch and you want perfection down to micron levels.

I would rather be concerned about consistency. If they can produce 10 out of 10 or even 9 out of 10 watches with no QC issues then I would say we've reached a milestone.

Finally, I may have something new to contribute!

One of the clearest tells for an RXF comes from the serial numbers. So far, I have seen:

3x F77S7878
3x D55P5858
2x E66R6868
1x A11L1818

Letters occupy the first and fourth places. So far they have been 11 to 13 letters apart in the alphabet.

With the numbers, only one is variable and this occupies the second, third, fifth, and seventh places. So far, it looks like the variable number equates to the first letter + 1 ie. F is the 6th letter of the alphabet so the variable number is 6+1=7. The exception so far is the A which retains the variable number as 1.

The sixth and eight places are always an 8.

The numbers appear random enough at first glance but this pattern should help us spot RFX reps in comparison shots in the future.
Here some A11L1818 action.

I kind of think the noob v11 is nicer, from the video anyway.

Tbh, I bought a ZZF v2s about a couple of months ago. If I had to buy a Sub now I’m pretty sure I would have gone for this one instead. $100 less, same movement, good SELs, great crystal and better insert. Still happy with my ZZF, but this looks like a hell of a watch and right now takes the 1st position on best value sub over the legendary Regmariner, IMHO.
