I warn you all, this is the best fake I've come across in years. Can you spot the flaws, although they are hard to find? This one too, only needs a new battery....

I'll take a shot:
1. when did Rolex come out with a black case?
2. The coronet looks off to the left a little?

Hey, I'm still waiting for my copy of Rolex Report and other goodies from Amazon!
Apart from the 2, I thought it should print "OYSTERQUARTZ" underneath the coronet and Rolex logo, but I'm not familiar enough with this line.
So, what's wrong with this sample here?

Ahhh.......the rare Oyster Perpetual Quartz.

A perpetual is one style, you know like the oyster watches we all love on this forum, no battery right? Then you have quartz that takes a battery, this watch says both.

must be the crown!!!

mickeydainish · 26 March 2008, 09:07 PM

... dunno??? I'm stumped... us newbies are not the brightest you know!!!! :-)

NG1208 · 28 March 2008, 12:46 AM

I think it's real. If I'm not mistaken, this is the one with the external batery pack that can be worn around the waist. It was only issued to the Ooompa-Loompas who worked at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This is a a very rare watch and would be perfect for receipt as a gift from a dead grandparent and placing on e-bay for around $30 with some appropriate disclaimer. BUT BEWARE!!! The same model with the ceramic bezel may be a fake!

That could be one of the new surprises from Basel!!

Goodwatch · 28 March 2008, 03:40 AM

Yes, this will be the great surprise for Basel! This pre-production model shows the way Rolex are looking at the future. I present to you: the 2008 Meteorite Case Rolex Hybrid. (Tadah...., drum roll).

A quote from the press kit: "The new 6666 movement drives a small generator that in turn charges the newly developed power cell that powers the electronics. This movement will of course be a certified chronometer. It takes us a full 2 years to make the new Rolex Hybrid".

Pricing as of yet unknown.....
