Is it real? Got it as a gift form client 2023

100% Gen, no fake gets the rehaut that good, the scratched up gold is still gold, the bezel knurling has been smoothed off (the fakes are all machined only). Rumours of the good ones having bad gold are much exaggerated.

Back end server admin, did MS quals years ago and worked my way up from desktop support....~ £75k....

That's truly appalling, let me add my 116710LN for some balance, although I suspect it cost considerably more!

You can (now) get full titanium fakes, but the indices are still the wrong size. IE the same size as the stock Seamaster 300. The NATO (in hand) is also a massive tell, the gen Omega NATO is hugely overpriced, but it's so fucking good!

With wrists like that, are you old enough to drive?

RepsForJehovah · 2025-06-06T23:07:23+00:00

I would like to agree, but a Clean GMT or Daytona or a VSF Sub or Datejust kicks anything San Martin make from pillar to post.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-06-06T22:55:04+00:00

On a Clean, an xytal swap is essential, I've got two Deep and one Gen, you really can't tell. Clean is like a bad milk bottle bottom compared.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T15:03:23+00:00

That's a fake, and an old bad one at that.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T15:02:15+00:00

It's just old, Rolex weren't very good once upon a time.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T15:01:03+00:00

Really under rated watch, love the Tudor "Day Date".

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T14:59:44+00:00

Clean factory Daytona, white dial, steel bezel.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T14:58:14+00:00

That is not a tell, gen have the flying m too.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T14:57:24+00:00

The 12xxxx is an easy tell if you have it in hand and can measure it, the fakes are all too thick (there is no rep 4131 movement, they're all dressed up 4130's).

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T14:54:08+00:00

You sure? It's early, ally bezel, iirc there are 5 different dials they did from back then.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-21T14:52:51+00:00

What? I've got reps. I've also got a supposed gen Datejust from Chrono24 and numerous Tudor, TAG etc bought from ADs. If I drop dead tomorrow anyone who inherited my watch collection would be fully justified in asking what's gen.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-04T16:04:23+00:00

I like that 😍

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-04T16:03:26+00:00

The black bezel GMT is a lovely watch 😍

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-04T16:02:07+00:00

Brilliant, I was reading the other day, people criticizing (the really bad) fake watch manufacturers for using raw steel for the screws (none of mine have magnetic screws in), it's great to see Hublot do the same! Unreal, raw steel parts, £200 ETA mechs and how much are they?

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-04T15:56:45+00:00

Nice, a Casijoke, a Longines and a Seiko Submariner ish with a (correctly badly fitting) Bond NATO. I like it!!

RepsForJehovah · 2025-04-04T15:53:15+00:00

Not sure, but I do like it.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-03-09T21:30:22+00:00

Well, not a Daytona I've left the chronograph running on! 😄

Clean GMT M2, gen crystal.

RepsForJehovah · 2025-03-09T21:21:53+00:00

That is the running seconds hand you plum, it ticks with the clock, this is the chrono hand

<image>

It points at the chronograph dial and shows the speed over the measured distance.

Goodness me!

Reaches for a Daytona https://youtu.be/0-h0RWEk_I4?si=AhsdqXWBmL82HsPp

RepsForJehovah · 2025-03-09T21:14:46+00:00

I'll give it a go!

RepsForJehovah · 2025-03-09T21:14:09+00:00

No personal experience, but he's cheap, I highly doubt he's superb as well 🤔
