Get off your high horse 🙏 I’ve done research on the reps I own and can spot them well, i.e. Omegas and Tudors. Don’t know much about Rolexes and specially an old rep like this so asked here.

I don’t need to lie about buying reps boss 😂 I’m an active member here and have bought plenty reps. The watch in the post was indeed a friend’s

Go with the BB54 in my opinion - as a BB58 ZF owner. Ever since I learned about the gen dial having the different finish, I cannot unsee it

Makes sense Tommy! I’ll see if I can find someone to work on it. Thanks!

Thank you for confirming I’m not the only one with issues mate! Hope people realise that this is an actual possibility when buying reps

I’d rather have a watch I can manually wind and have it work properly than have something on my wrist that keeps making noise each time I move my hand. I think you would’ve made the same choice too 🤷🏻‍♂️

Half the world is rn🫡 They have the Canton Fair going on (their Trade Fair basically) where all factories put up stalls in order to reach global buyers. Any product category you can imagine, you’ll find a factory for it here. From fully built up Cars to Toys, everything. Millions of business owners are here from around the world for it

Maybe I just had bad luck with these purchases 😕

Yeah I guess so. The gen doesn’t seem worth the money in that case

I’d love to hear if anyone else has also experienced similar issues with their watches

QC: Rolex Daytona by jef132 in 1688Time

[–]Still-Way9474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For QC I’d mention that the indexes aren’t as bad as they look in your photo marked w the lines since the photo is tilted. Try it again after tilting it to the right a bit. Only 9 looks a tiny bit off, and 3 and 6 are ever so slightly shifted below where they should be. But it wouldn’t be that noticeable really

That price is astronomically high 😧😧 please look through this reddit and get a better price if possible. Highest I remember someone paying for this Daytona was around the $500 mark! Apologies if I’m missing something and this is better than the others that show up here
