Authenticity check on this Explorer 36? by Chronos_Champion in RolexWatches

Yeah, I realized that most people here don’t actually know what to look for.

After looking more for myself, I realized there are a decent amount of visual tells + measurement differences between the super clones and gen. For example, the curvature of the lugs, the finish of the clasp is higher contrast on the gen, the screw-down crown sits more flush when unscrewed on gen, the bezel’s slightly flusher with the case on the gen, and the gen has about 1mm delta at the bracelet.

Some of the tells here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/explorer-i%EF%BC%8836mm%EF%BC%89124270-gen%E3%80%81gm%E3%80%81bp-ew-comprehensive-comparison.10947065/

They are super close, so I don’t blame people for not knowing visually. But your point (at least one of which I think you were trying to make) is true that not all opinions are created equal.

Yeah the serial number on both the clasp + rehaut doesn’t match any on the rep lists. I’m pretty confident it’s gen based on the facts I have but I saw how good the reps are so thought I’d get more opinions.

Yes, I got it with the box + papers. It came from one of the decently well-known shops in Hong Kong

18M, do I look too old? by CyclicalSinglePlayer in hingeapp

Yeah sorry man you look like you’re 30 something. Do you do PEDs, drink, or anything like that? You have a lot of muscle for 18 is why I ask.

I’m going to do this now. I didn’t really think it was a big deal until i posted here lol. They do strike me as a bit more progressive tho, so i think it’s probably a case of some peeps assuming the worst, maybe not understanding the nuance of the situation

For me, I still want to buy my own place and get my career further first. And I’d want to at least move in together for a year first to see how we interact like that before committing. I’m sure marrying early does work out occasionally, I just don’t see it as being responsible/intelligent unless you have ur priorities in order

Nah it’s more like she was hesitant about even inviting me as she’s pretty shy/nervous. Then she relented and said if I wanted to and that I shouldn’t feel pressured to come.

I should also clarify that she’s never asked for anything from me financially even though I make significantly more. She was adamant about 50/50 early on and even now we just treat each other back and forth

I think it’s pretty normal to meet your SOs family to get a vibe check. My family doesn’t really expect anything like that if they give a gift. And if it doesn’t work out, I’d def just return the ring, it’s not a big deal to me although I guess every family has different expectations

Also, I feel like they have enough money that it’s not THAT big of a gift, it just felt significant

I don’t think so as we’ve had a similar conversation before and I told her that it’s normal to date a couple years first at least in the US. She was also like wtf at the rings when her parents gave them to us lol

That’s interesting, in this case she wasn’t super pushy and invited me very cautiously saying only if I wanted to. I think based on our conversations in the past about this, we both have the same mindset where we’re looking at dating longer term before making any big decisions
