alfo982 0 Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, I'm going to buy from Robert (or, Mary... I have not yet decided...) a Rolex Submariner Ceramic Bezel model. Now I'm thinking about 2 details of this watch... and I would be pleased to receive suggestions from you! 1. The sapphire glass... with or without crown imprinted with laser the questions are: - normally in a rep Rolex is the inprinting really made with laser or in another way? - does the original model have this detail or not ? of course I would have a watch the more similar as I can to the original... - What do you suggest me.... with or without? 2. Holographic sticker - Same question as before: does the original model has it or not? - How is normally the quality of this not-genuine stickers? is it easy to recognize the not authenticity of the sticker? - What do you suggest me.... with or without? thank you guys... let me knoow...

greg_r 82 Posted November 6, 2009 1: the crown on the crystal never looks exactly 100% like the real thing, but it's so faint you can only tell the difference if using a loupe. Don't worry about it. 2. Yes, the gen comes with a hologram sticker. The rep stickers are fine, but most people (both gen and rep owners) tend to peel the damn thing off anyhow. I gotta say that this is really nitpicky stuff. It's a mistake to get too anal about these kinda things - there is no such thing as a 100% perfect replica. Some get damn close but if you want it to be exactly like the gen, a gen is what you need to buy. You have to accept that there will be some minor differences and that an expert will be able to spot them if they get a close look at the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted November 6, 2009 I like the shape and size of the new Sub reps, they're more like the GMT II ceramic, which is nice. Everything about it feels more substantial, especially the bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted November 6, 2009 Robert isn't known for being fond of "special requests." Watch-finding is more Mary's forte. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
