ALL PROTOTYPE LUXURY WATCHES-Transition ceramic

[Kettlec]

Only 3 types out there can anyone share theirs 2006-07 where made and randomly given to AD just before the cards replaced the hole punch papers. every🤫

[Lemieux66]

Looks like someone put in an Exp II GMT hand and a Roulette wheel date disc. So is it real or just a mod?

[Lgear080]

Fake :/

[Kettlec]

That’s what I said until I went to Rolex with his RSC service paper. and confirmed all original.😯 However would you know if it’s modified?
The owner i had no reason to doubt the dealer but am keen to buy from him😌

If it was real, it would look like this:

Green 24 hours hand and green writing on the dial.

I know mine is real as I bought it at an AD.

He’s saying it is a prototype or that’s what I understand from his post.

Nope
I am sure you are NOT - no way you got a prototype

The service centre would not touch anything that’s not original. Though sometimes they can be frustrating and limited in knowledge.

Hmmm, interesting I won’t go on as if I’m a guru in time pieces, but why would he the AD go through all the trouble? My self personally find it very Interesting. I read up on various other prototypes in the market and found that the owners at some point would have faced scrutiny but look how much the last sub WG on a bark president went for! And a steel presidential....

Even my 16710 (stick)when I bought that from the same person, I got hammered and look now their desirable!! Also I forgot in 2009 I was offered 116710 error stick and I rejected as I was swayed to stay away!!

Another way to tell if you are onto something real is wondering if the price matches what you are buying.

Nobody is going to sell a prototype for cheap, specially if they know the industry.

ALL Rolex sports watches are desirable - your 16710 is not a prototype or special, but prices increased.

Yes there are Rolex model with short lived dials and some aficionados hunt for them.
But your watch does not even look like a Rolex Prototype - it looks a marriage or fake.

Which AD was it?
A

I don’t see how me telling you exactly who the authorised dealer makes a difference as it’s in the UK. when I clearly said i went to RSC London to authenticate and concur who had no problem. With the greatest respects Adam unless you actually had assembled this watch from factory your views are just as limited as mine. I just find it so interesting that people can become so certain something is fake when it’s not, rather than just say you don’t know instead of demanding it as it can be perceived as malicious. I thank you Adam for your views. Kind regards J

Of course he would say that, because it’s not real.

Your point makes 100% sense and absolutely right. It’s not going for cheap!!
Like many of these rare pieces unless you assembled it from factory yourself how can you tell! I believe 80% of the watches we see vintage has been played with and I’ve seen loads on here that ain’t right but people still call it original!!

They would not service it!

Dan993 that is the question i posed to everyone. I personally think its a honor and privilege to see this watch personally....However if no one can give a constructive answer to my question then it really shows how much knowledge we all have within the horology industry proving our limited knowledge. Therefore I would not knock the personal who has bought to light maybe something no one knew existed but rather embrace their find and bid them well with the purchase!! Not be bitter!

i believe my points are valid from the outset! As like i mentioned before about recent White Gold Submariner bark president bracelet with yellow gold nipples. I certain if you had asked collectors whether they knew that model existed or had seen it through their life time ill be very surprised if more than 5 people in this whole forum could state otherwise. We have to remember there are pieces that are out there that we know nothing about and are genuine but its whether the owners wants to school us to what is actually around! Hence why i titled it Show your prototype or transition luxury.. so really i would like to see those who seems to be negative their prototype collection that's if they have any!!

How about using the shift button....

Yes, you are right, no one knows everything and especially on the secretive ways of ROLEX.

That said, watches like yours "prototypes" just dont 'pop up' - Rolex is too careful and secretive - its not like APPLE!

So I am pretty sure you have a marriage watch - I asked who the AD is - you did not respond.
If you PM me the serial number I can do a check on it too.

[OysterBracelet]

Ghastly modified watch. No thanks!

[Lol-x]

This guy is just a troll looking to be fed.

Well he's had his feed and now he's offed to enjoy his fallacy himself.

[PRSWILL]

yeah one pic and a lot of nonsense.

[usling15]

Am I paranoid ? Why does my antenna go up whenever I see a just born newbie post comment on a scam from another newbie. Trying to ingratiate himself into the Rolex community .
