rolex: a view from the back.....

a few days ago, i wrote about a fake rolex gmt master 2 watch....... now it's time to present the genuine stuff......



here you can see the 18k and 750 hallmarks i mentioned ...... the size of the maxi case is also clearly evident....... see how thick the lug ends are.......

a rolex movement has distinctive features....... note the red colour gears...... the stout balance bridge.... the non-ballbearing rotor........ and for the 3186 movement, you can also see the parachrom bleu hairspring.....

if the fakers attempt to copy everything, i think the fake will end up more expensive than a genuine rolex watch......... haha
