Oh boy. This is another one of those "let's see how many TRFers will compliment my fake before someone finally calls me out.". Really?

I'm definitely not an expert in this area (verifying authenticity of Rolex watches), any of you care to elaborate how you came to this conclusion just by looking at pics?

s.al-anizi 4 March 2012 04:27 PM

1. Scalloped bezel edges too smooth
2. Crown guards too smooth+ crown is too flush in
3. Silver rings around the hour indices too thick

FAKE

Feras 4 March 2012 08:42 PM

Congrats, i envy you, it looks perfect on your wrist :)

Looks mighty suspicious (translation: "FAULEX").

Many strange things already mentioned (crown guards/crown most noticeable), in addition to dial printing and a coronet that's just a bit wonky, and a rehaut that seems to be missing the requisite R-R-R printing, or has it at a scale that's clearly incorrect.

Thanks for playing...try again next time!

Because it looks like a cheap suit.

At first i was fooled until i read the other post that it was fake, and compared it to a real one .

1. Metal rings around the hours are to thick.
2. Lettering is off
3. Ceramic numbers are too thin.
4. Crown is to small or too sunk in.
5. Clasp seems to cheap in workmanship , not as crisp like a new dollar bill.

datewheel font is way too big

sixers_610 5 March 2012 12:42 AM

that pearl is terrible too.

jnkay 5 March 2012 01:16 AM

All of that, plus:

-no a/r on the cyclops
- gmt-iic lugs (sub-c lugs are wider)
-bracelet is too thick (I actually wish Rolex had kept that thickness)

sixers_610 5 March 2012 04:12 AM

All excellent catches. Looks like someone got owned.

Bangel 16 March 2012 05:25 PM

Wow. You guys have sharp eyes. Well done for calling this out as a fake! To be honest, I was fooled at first and I actually have one on my wrist (a real one that is).

I feel compelled to post because I really learned something from this thread about telltale indicators of fake ceramic submariners. Another affirmation of how great TRF is.

What a loser...

T-Rip 17 March 2012 02:47 PM

The bezel pearl is garbage...looks like plastic...crap..

Morax 18 March 2012 07:10 PM

I got catched by hour hand and cyclop A/R missing. Then the bezel.
Why would anyone post such pictures here? I don't get it.

Tempusfugitus 18 March 2012 07:18 PM

Maybe trying to get feedback so they can perfect the fake for the next version? At least I hope that's the case and not that some honest guy got taken.

The apparent lack of rehaut lettering is the only really obvious mistake without a genuine one to compare side-by-side. It might be there or it might not. Hard to tell from the pics.

sea-dweller 19 March 2012 12:57 AM

Nice Sub!

sixers_610 20 March 2012 11:21 PM

Not afraid to admit, I've seen much better replicas of the Ceramic than this. Whatever he's trying to improve, he's way behind the curve

The biggest tell is the hour hand. It is too fat and short.

I sure hope this fella did not pay the gen price.

T-Rip 13 April 2012 04:01 AM

Dont give any more "tells"...as to why its fake...it only helps these loser trolls!!!!

TSW 13 April 2012 04:23 PM
