HELLO, I AM NEW TO THE FORUM.

I BUY A ROLEX 126613LB FROM LUCY.
I AM LOOKING AT MY WATCH AND I HAVE ROLEX LETTERS ON THE RING THAT DO NOT MATCH THE MINUTES PERFECTLY.

IT IS NORMAL?

THE ROLEX SUBMARINER IS COMPLETELY MADE OF STEEL, IF ALL THE LETTERS MATCH BUT I SEE THAT THEY DO NOT MATCH WITH THOSE WITH GOLD.

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH PHOTOS OF YOUR MODEL 126613LB

THANK YOU SO MUCH



(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)

Please no ALL CAPS text! It's very difficult to read and per general internet etiquette, it is considered shouting and therefore rude. 😉

To your question: Small imperfections are absolutely expected, normal and acceptable in replica watches. Sure, they are annoying and not nice to look at, but keep in mind that we pay 10%, sometimes even only 5 or 2% of what the respective genuine watch is priced at.

If you demand gen perfection, you either have to invest in the replacement of certain parts with gen parts or just buy the genuine watch in the first place.

A replica will always be a replica and never be a 1:1 copy, despite the marketing of the replica factories claiming them to be identical copies. That is simply and frankly not true.

Sorry to say but expecting each single letter to align with each single minute marker is delusional, that simply doesn't happen. Alignment is about the X from 1 to 5 and the R from 7 to 11. Misalignments are pretty common. Again, even Rolex doesn't always do it perfectly.

As eBoy said: A replica is not a 100% copy of a genuine Rolex for 1/20th of the price. There are better and worse reps, but every rep will have flaws.

This is why we advise doing quality control: closely evaluating pictures the dealer sends you before agreeing to that specific watch. Any good Trusted Dealer will send detailed pics. You could have checked the rehaut's RolexRolexRolex that way.

But every replica model has it's "flaws" - this is why it pays to do research here (hint: search function) to learn what to expect.

And on a more philosophical note, consider why you're concerned with this:

1. Did you expect a perfect copy and feel disappointed by the dealer? Remember, no replica can be 100%, so adjust your expectations (get the right info before you buy) and enjoy the watch.
2. Are you trying to pass off this Rolex as genuine? (To impress people? Make them think you're rich? Or a secret agent?) It's futile because 99% of people won't care, and those who do will see the discrepancies, revealing your deception.
3. Thinking of selling it as original? That's quite unethical so I hope not your plan.

From what I can see, they line up pretty well.
12-6 o’clock, X is on the hour marker.
6-12 o’clock R is on the hour marker.

Also, aside from whats been already said, when asking for help, consider actually posting useable pictures from different angles. 😉

Hello friends, thanks for your answers. I have an original datejust I am not looking for anything with this clone of 126613lb.

I am a big fan of watches and details. Investigating on different websites, I came to the conclusion that the clean factory submariners are all made of steel, if the letters match, on the other hand, those with gold, the letters are not 100% aligned.

why is this due if the case of the watch is the same for both models it is 41mm
