Not a Rolex, but it still cost me a pretty penny.

Damn...that's insane! I would shed a minor tear if I found that, crazy find man!

I sent it to RSC in SF and when I spoke to them on the phone the guy said, "Quite frankly, we were all shocked when we opened the package, we've never seen anything like it!".

The first guy gave an estimate of over $4,000, when I called back they said they would totally refurbish it for $3,100 including a two year warranty so I had them send it to New York to have it done, they said it would take 6 weeks. I can't wait to get it back!

Hey Jocke, I got a few New Zealand Rolexes or are they Invictors? ... you got me confused now. I'd better check otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Seems weird that it has a Sub bracelet fitted....well, the clasp at least.....GMT's are normally fitted with a "shorty" clasp....nobody else seemed to spot that one.....

Of course, that's not a Rolex. Every fake deserves to end up looking like that.

Hi again Jocke, I remember that subtest you posted a while back ago and I've been thinking .... after the heart murmurs I got from the images I spotted what was an interesting shape of the crown protectors and suddenly it hit me right between my three eyes and I feel much better and can finally go off life support.
