Icemanneo11 0 Posted December 21, 2017 Hi all, Am guessing Serial numbers are found on the movement of the gen watches but are they also found on the reps? I have purchased a 'gen' movement on chrono24 and shown the receipt and the picture of the movement (currently trying to remove the case back to see used a tennis ball to no avail!) but wanted to know if the reps also have a serial number on the movement? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icemanneo11 0 Posted December 21, 2017 Hi mods, apologies, this appears to be in the wrong sub-forum! Can you either nuke this or move it please? Sorry again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted December 21, 2017 Not even sure there are any rep 3186 movements but could be wrong. I think most of the Rep Rollie GMT's use a modified 2836 with GMT add on. I suggest checking out the GMT Reps and see what they have listed and check the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icemanneo11 0 Posted December 22, 2017 Thanks for the info. I acquired a movement but have since found out the winder has broken and a movement spacer was put in to make the winder more aligned. As a result, i am looking to send the movement back just in case there are any further issues! The main reason for asking is that the reps nowadays try to copy the insides of the movements so was wondering if there was a true way to ensure the movement is gen or a replica Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyChanga 0 Posted December 27, 2017 Are there any Rolex rep GMT movements that are accurately decorated (i.e., correct parts in SS vs. brass, correct engravings, etc.)? Looking to pick up a 16570 Explorer and would prefer a gen-looking movement, if one exists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you would have spent £100 to see a £50 movement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
