Nisv 0 Posted February 24, 2011 but are there any Rolex reps out there that runs on batteries? Since i've only just started browsing the trusted dealers listings i've yet to discover such Rolexes, hence the question. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfa437 0 Posted February 24, 2011 You do NOT want a quartz Rollie rep- all modern Rollies are automatic movements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nisv 0 Posted February 24, 2011 I thought it would be a great idea to get one of those for my Dad, so he can flash it around to the service personell so they in turn have something to gossip about Besides, Rolex is the most famous (?) luxury watch brand that most people ever have heard of, my Dad included Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 24, 2011 The only Rolex that would be worth buying in quartz would be a daytona - there are a few decent quartz reps around and they're going to be more reliable than the 7750 versions. The non-chrono models, however, are adequately reliable and there really wouldn't be any point in quartz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfa437 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Check out PrestigeWatchCompany's selection of Rolex budget models. What you're looking for is a 21j (or DG28xx series) movement. The best models are Submariners and Yachtmasters. The Sub is the "classic" Rolex and the Yachtie is more "blingy". Both will be pretty damn accurate to the genuine and he won't be "called out" for wearing a fake. Best part is that they are relatively inexpensive as well as durable. You can even bring them to a local watch kiosk in a shopping mall and get it tested for water resistance for around 10 bucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome, thanks LOL I had one of his Yachtmasters and a buddy had a genuine. We both had a hard time telling them apart. With replica watches the "Holy Grail" is accuracy to the genuine counterpart. While they never will be 100% excatly like the real deal- we do come close with a lot of models. Get one of PWC's Submariners, Yachtmasters or even a GMT Master (GMT has what is called an incorrect hand stack but it is hard to notice even off the wrist and damn near impossible on the wrist) and he won't have to worry about his watch being pointed out as a replica, knock-off or "fake". The other dealers also have 21j Rolex watches but I prefer dealing with Robert at PWC. No nonsense kind of dealer with great prices Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bme 4 Posted February 24, 2011 Here's my Daytona quartz from Timesshop................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisv 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Are Daytonas the only Rolex reps there are with Quartz? I'm leaning more and more towards either a Submariner or a Yachtmaster as their looks are (to me anyway) what comes to mind whenever there's talk about Rolexes, and i haven't seen either of those with quartz movement. On the other hand, there are some really nice Daytona's out there, so........i don't know......undecisive :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfa437 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Daytona quartz watches are utterly inaccurate with regards to what the subdials do. These canbe spotted as reps from across a room :P Rolex watches do not "tick" because they have 28,000 beat per hour automatic movements. If you get a quartz Rolex anyone with 1/2 a brain is going to know it's a cheap copy. Stick with autos unless you want your dad looking like a fool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottahaverolex 0 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) When I went to Nassau in the Bahamas they had TONS of quartz Rollie reps. Looked just like what we buy here as far a cases but they all ticked! It made me giggle, the guys selling them insist they are real! Ha! Edited February 24, 2011 by gottahaverolex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd better het him a winder while i'm at it as he really doesn't get around much these days, hence the Quartz thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I gave a flying fuck whether this could be spotted across a room, which it can't, I wouldn't have bought it. Most people on the planet wouldn't know a fake from a real one. It's a nice looking watch, keeps perfct time and is much more reliable than a 7750 with modified gearing. I personally recommend this one especially as it's a chrono and the very small second hand ticking rather than sweeping kind of hides it's fakeness just in case I ever do have a Rolex expert across the room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RolexAddict 1 Posted March 4, 2011 3 years ago I have seen tons of quartz Submariner in Dominican Republic, last month I have seen tons in Patong city/Phuket. Sellers told me it comes from Taiwan or Korea. Also automatic but in non-ferrous metal and nickel coated with ugly dials, all this shit is sold arround 1000 - 1500 thai baths, means 25- 35 euros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that they're low quality and all, atleast compared to what you can get from the dealers on board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
