Is this the Legendary 1530?
Saw this on the bay, and I was wondering if it is the real mccoy?

The hyphen after "officially", for a start?
If it were a fake, surely they'd make sure the spelling was right, no? No? Last edited by mansion; 6 February 2007 at 09:37 AM.. Reason: added phrase. |

There's no magnifying cyclops over the date window.
What's the eBay #?

It's weird to see vintage fauxlex... but I suppose not unheard of either. That first one doesn't ring true to me...

I saw that one on the bay a few week back.
Hard to tell if fake, however that dial is DEFINITELY a fake or redone, and for that sort of money you can get one in a lot better condition. John. |

Frankenwatch not many genuine 1530s around now most with collectors,must say always a fan for the O/Q case.

I think the guy wants like $6-8K for it. So, it must be a relist. The case looks genuine OQ and the dial is terrible. I have never scene a hyphen in the name and I think the seller has a pic of the 1530 Rolex movement

There are an awful lot of subs being passed off as "reds" or "double reds" this s true.

Milgaus
The milgaus or whatever the Rolex model is with those lightning bolt hands? Some are so expensive that we are talking enough money to buy an exotic sportscar . I found it odd they were faking vintage rollies at first.

The printing of the words below the hands looks awful too. Like some of the letters float above the rest.
