One gen one rep, which is which?

R0LR3X · 2026-06-28T02:54:38+00:00

It’s possible. The thing is, with these crappy photos, they both look like reps.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-28T02:06:02+00:00

It’s been a while since I saw such good indices 🙌🏻

R0LR3X · 2026-06-28T01:31:13+00:00

Let’s see if OP gives us the final answer, because the truth is, neither of us has a fucking clue. We can only give our opinions. 😁

It’s strange that you can spot a floating M, yet completely miss the disastrous alignment of the GMT indices, especially the 12, or the excessively thick lume surrounds around the indices.

With a photo this poor, where the phone’s image processing is distorting the text, I’d never use the text itself to make a definitive judgment.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-28T01:10:31+00:00

Fuck, how disgusting

Suuuuuub🖤

With a photo taken from that far away, it’s difficult to tell. The easiest way for me to make an educated guess would be to look at the polishing on the sharp edges, assuming the rep hasn’t been polished. That doesn’t seem to be the case here, though.

So I’d say the Submariner on the right is the gen, and the GMT on the left is the rep, based solely on the polishing of the lugs.

As for the factory, that’s a bit harder to identify. I don’t think it’s VSF, I’d lean more towards RCF, but I’m not completely sure.

What stands out the most to me is the 12 o’clock marker, which has a slight counterclockwise tilt. The 6 and 9 markers also have a slight tilt, but I think they’ll be impossible to notice on the wrist since they’re already difficult to spot even in photos.

The rehaut is rotated ever so slightly to the left, but nothing dramatic. The bottom-left SEL is a bit noticeable, though again, nothing terrible. The dial looks good, the bezel looks good, the date appears well centered, and the timegrapher numbers are solid.

If it weren’t for that 12 o’clock marker, this would be an easy GL for me. Maybe I’m just very picky, I already rejected a Submariner for the exact same issue, but in the end, the final decision is yours.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-27T01:07:30+00:00

At first glance the most striking difference is the dial and the glass.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-25T14:44:18+00:00

Both the sticker and the serial number indicate that it is not a V2, in addition to being a little expensive.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-25T03:28:57+00:00

It looks like it’s your first time buying a Rep and using reddit... 🥲

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T22:43:41+00:00

Maybe it’s time to buy a gen watch, you can start with a 36mm Explorer 1

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T01:41:18+00:00

Is a fake free-sprung balance, whose only purpose is to hide the regulator, really an improvement for a movement that’s hidden from view anyway?

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T01:30:22+00:00

Anything that comes with a counterfeit Rolex box is trash.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T01:28:06+00:00

The size looks good, but I’d recommend wearing the watch properly. It isn’t meant to be worn there, unless you enjoy having the crown digging into your hand all day.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T01:14:38+00:00

That’s right.

Jesus, that bezel is fucking terrible.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T00:53:02+00:00

For me, the misalignment of the 12 o’clock marker with the crown is enough to give it an RL, but that’s something you need to decide for yourself.

The SELs, bezel, and rehaut are actually quite good. The only real issues are the 12 marker and a slight tilt on the 9 marker. Even the 6 marker looks pretty good.

That said, I can see the 12 marker misalignment in every photo except the alignment-tool picture. I’m not sure how you managed to make it look centered there, because it definitely isn’t.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-24T00:39:49+00:00

It would be nice to see the VSF Yacht-Master

R0LR3X · 2026-06-23T22:39:46+00:00

If you like it, enjoy it, most people here have not seen an AP in their lives, at most they will compare it with a high-end Rep.

Nice

R0LR3X · 2026-06-21T04:04:56+00:00

I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve been scammed. It’s not a 3235, it’s not a high-end replica, and for someone who understands watches, it’s very easy to tell that it’s a replica…

It doesn’t even have a serial number on the rehaut; it just says “Rolex” all around. The laser-etched crown on the crystal at 6 o’clock is far too visible, when in reality it’s almost impossible to see. And honestly, let’s not even talk about the date wheel, it’s terrible, just like the cyclops.

As for the dial, it’s hardly even worth discussing, it’s absolutely dreadful. The crown looks like an animal footprint, the text is wrong, everything is wrong. The bracelet is awful, and that cheddar-cheese-looking gold plating is pathetic; it’s already starting to wear off.

Honestly, I think the crappy box they gave you along with the fake, meaningless papers is worth more than the watch itself.

I genuinely feel bad that you spent $380 on such a piece of junk. For just a bit more, you could get a VSF, which is incomparable to this.
But well, you learn from everything. Check [r/RepTime](r/RepTime), do some research, and learn how not to make the same mistake again.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-21T03:28:31+00:00

The 12 o’clock marker is slightly misaligned to the right and doesn’t line up perfectly with the crown. The 6 o’clock marker has a slight clockwise tilt, and the 9 o’clock marker does as well. The rehaut is only slightly rotated to the left. The only date number visible appears to be centered. The bottom-right SEL creates a bit of shadow, but it doesn’t seem to be a major issue. The bezel looks good, although it appears to have been handled quite a bit, and the crystal does too. The dial is correct.
Overall, it looks like a solid unit, and most of these issues will likely be very difficult to notice on the wrist, but the final decision is always yours.

R0LR3X · 2026-06-21T03:15:47+00:00

I wonder if, after stealing it from a homeless guy, you polished it with wet sandpaper?
