GingerApple 7,285 Posted October 14, 2019 If you have to ask, don't bother buying a good Rep ever, stick to the Gate and save your money. Dave's got some great watches he's letting go cheap that you might like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave's got some great watches he's letting go cheap that you might like. Not asking for opinions to purchase Ginger, just throwing it out there for some entertainment. I have many great reps purchased from Mary or M2M As for the gate I typically steer clear of it although I have picked up a couple there for daily beaters. I’m a home builder and whatever I wear to work usually gets mauled sooner or later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have fun enlighten us How about a sub that doesn't exist in real life - If it is meant to be a 16613, it should be a two tone watch. If it is meant to be a Smurf, he inherited a white gold sub from his uncle almost when it was first released without any means of authentication, not to mention looking nothing like the level of quality one would expect.

Between those and many customized subs 16610 blue stainless can be found out there with relative ease I totally agree where the workmanship and quality are concerned. Also the Rolex crown logo is off, the pearl is off and I think the crown guards are off. And that bracelet is a joke And the Crystal. I own a genuine 16613 so to me the Crystal stood out immediately as to how high it sits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Example - https://www.luxuryofwatches.com/rolex-submariner-steel-pre-owned-16610-custom-blue/ Yes, I agree 166110 designates the black/stainless Just saying blue can be had and still be genuine Not the case here thou!

Would love to have some other Rolex experts chime in with their opinions and everyone has to make an assessment on their acceptable level of risk when purchasing a "custom" piece but for my money, there is no officially customised 16610 blue sub. "Custom" is often a euphemism for aftermarket parts installed in a gen piece i.e. a franken watch at best , dog's breakfast at worst. As you say, this particular example is undoubtedly the latter.

Dogs breakfast at worst Yes you’re probably right, and the reality is there are so many gray market purchasers/owners out there that have a watch like that and most likely don’t even know.
