No I didn't ask you, I just at your stupid answer.

I KNOW Rolex didn't do the engraving.

Thanks Paul, that must be real

To me, and to most people, that engraved caseback just makes the watch less desirable. It would be harder to sell it at the normal retail price, let alone with a mark-up.

[AbsolutelyROLEX!]

Would only mean something to a sea king pilot IMHO

The watch came from the AD rolex boutique store on old bond street , and not the big watches of Switzerland store on the corner in London , they are both owned by watches of Switzerland I take it .

Yes.

....and the manager can't get Sea King right.

Seaking is a pokemon character.

I hope they got the engraving right.

The watch is ok, the problem is you still insist on incorrect information.

[dysondiver]

Gary, You have to understand..........

Many of us are calloused from seeing DOZENS of scammers, crooks, and thiefs come through our doors here on TRF. So many times people have ulterior motives, and that is to dupe some poor unsuspecting soul out of their hard earned cash.

In your case, it was all about presentation. If you would have had all your facts straight and would have given us a clear answer and presentation from the beginning, I think the response would have been different. Because of the way that it was presented, (I don't believe it was meant to be malicious on your part, I just think you were ill-informed) Your thread has given the impression of deceitfulness.

I like personalized watches. Your watch is a GMT IIc with an engraved caseback. A group of you got it done to show a bond between you. Pretty cool IMHO. However, not worth a cent over retail value other than to the original owners. If you guys got them done so that you could have some ridiculous resale value associated with them.....SHAME ON YOU. However, if you got them engraved to have, own, and wear because of the bond you share.......Kudos and enjoy.

When you collect a watch from an AD rolex store they can not I repeat can not supply any other products i,e case backs that rolex don't agree too , this watch took almost 1 year in talks to get done

It's a GMT II, you will harm the water resistant with a engraved backcase.

Maybe it was a Sub from the start.

Gmt , is a pilots watch

[Old Expat Beast]

Look at that letter. He calls it a Rolex GMT11 (with numerals, so eleven) instead of GMT-Master II, there's an empty line after the serial number, the font size is huge, etc. looks like a fake letter to me, sorry.

[joe100]

Had this watch quietly slipped into the stream I think it could have been interesting, but now with all this pretend hype it's a parody now.

[harvey]

Its a shame that the OP doesn't know some basic facts of the watch. How many casebacks were commissioned as numbers vary according to sources. Who engraved the casebacks? Who put them on...WOS? All of which have some impact on pricing...limited as that might be. I still suspect we are talking a few hundred, if that...and not thousands as is being touted...after all the caseback is crudely done. This is just my humble opinion and in not in any way to be disrespectful...

[dysondiver]

i dont doubt the engraving is real ,,, but for 32k id whittle the case back down with an ants eyelash ,,, just on the engraving ,, i really dont like the spacing on the words ,, but thats only getting picky , it has an un even look to it ,,



referred to titanium there by mistake ,, thats the other engraved case back thread ,,

Didn't you know the Seaking even is known as GMT Eleven?

Next week WOS sell GMT 711 The Cash Assistance.

Did someone say 32k??? Surely it's not 1st April already?!

These watches are all the genuine article , one of you mods etc give them a call tomorrow to confirm the watch I own , I'm happy to be permantly banned from this site if it turns out theses watches are not genuine , I know they are as I've collected 1 in person from the store in london

So Gary.......Let's assume that this watch is officially sanctioned by Rolex themselves. Answer me this......What was your motive for getting this project done? Because it sure doesn't seem that it was for any other reason other than trying to make a quick buck.

[garyfromleeds]

Wasn't my project to get done , it was Richard liddles

[Jocke]

Send it to Rolex for authentication and you can kiss your backcase goodbye.

Yes, but it does seem that of the two individuals who have posted about this project on this forum, (yourself and Richard) their only motive for this project is monetary gain. Making something with a limited availability so that you and your friends could sell this "rare and coveted" watch at a hefty profit.

[harvey]

Gary, apologises firstly. I'm not questioning whether the watch is genuine...as that i believe it is.

It's just the scenario of the caseback is in question, that's all. That is who did the work and who put it on. I know if I was spending thousands on a watch, especially one which was 'limited' I would want to know this.

Not questioning your integrity at all.
