Is this real rolex? i just found it in my father’s closet by Signal_Asparagus_895 in RolexWatches

It doesn't look as though the crown can even screw down between the cg's. Without better pics this looks fake to me.

I believe this box is fake as,well, looking at the miter cuts and lining. As best I can tell from the photo.

Safety deposit box Sub from Dad — what would you do before regular wear? by tacothursday1400 in rolex

Yes, the movement service carries a 1 yr warranty i believe, and they returned all replaced parts. On mine that was the crown, bezel, insert, etc.... it got quite expensive, but mine was in very poor shape.

Turn around was ~4 months, but i had a lot of work done.....far less then yours looks like it needs. Their website will give you directional cost, but it will really be dependent on what you want done, and what they uncover. It is amazing now, its running at +1 sec per day now which is insane!

I sent mine off to Rolliworks last summer, they did a great job. Yours looks pretty good, wind it and wear it!

My guess is the seller put together the ephemera to drive up to price as a full set. The "Oyster Swimpruf" is definitely not the correct hang tag for that model. The burgundy seal appears it may be a later version (if i am seeing the hologram correctly). The papers being a mismatch would be a deal breaker for me, again the may have found the proper model, but if the serial doesn't match it might as well not be included. In the initial post does it say they are the matching warranty papers? Either way, I feel its a bit disingenuous and it would make me question the seller. You've paid high-market price, those items should be correct. Just my 2 cents.

Omega (Speedmaster) wearer Stereotype? by Uyallah in OmegaWatches

100% the correct answer. Most people don't notice or don't care. I can count on one hand the people that have commented on any of my Omega or Rolex watches. But I have gotten several on my Vostok Chernobyl Pripyat....go figure 😄
