It always makes me laugh when I hear people rant against replica watches by saying things like "Fake watches for fake people." when that applies just as much to wearers of the genuine versions, like he says at 4:34. People buy Rolexes and other high end watches to pretend to be divers, pilots, racers, etc., and never think of using them for their intended purpose. I doubt most people that sport a tachymeter on their watch even know what it does, let alone use it for racing or piloting a plane.
I like this guy he knows what he is talking about, however why would anyone buy an expensive watch online? I like to go in to the store and enjoy the purchase not give 10k to a website??
@cashmoney. 16610LV is the model. Between the lugs @ 12 it will show 16610 T. T signifies no holes in lugs. Older models subs with through holes in lugs just had 16610.
@twos1269 The laser etching is extremely difficult to view with the naked eye & capture using a video. The best way to view it is to hold it at an angle against a strong light source whilst using a x10 loupe and continue to rotate the watch. It can be seen with the naked eye but only with patience and good eyesight as the micro etching is around 1mm sq. A good way to dismiss a fake is if you can feel the etching it is definitely a fake.
This is not a fake, it's a "D" series of the Rolex Submariner - 50th Anniversary Edition (Green Bezel) The Green evokes the Rolex Corporate color, just that alone gives this watch, a completely different and substantial factor to own it.
I am a proud owner of one, a "V" series with the ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraved rehaut and am pretty sure that this watch is not too far away to be a Collectors item.
@81ffy Oh yes it does, when it is straight out of the box it clicks and is slightly tight, a real rolex which does not click merely means the bezel has been used often. If you count the clicks you should get 120 per revolution (2 clicks per minute marker.) If it clicks at 60 per rev then it is def fake. The bracelet will 'chink' if the links make contact with each other. If your going to attempt to discredit this guy do your research first.! He has been in the business a fair bit of time!
I love the Rolex submariner but I prefer the black bezel. When my father passed away, I inherited his submariner. I assume it's real. We didn't have any papers on it but I remember being with him as a little kid when he bought it. He said something like, "don't tell your mom I did this but this watch cost about 2 years worth of car payments." Hmmm. He was driving a Cadillac at the time. The Cadillac is long gone but the Rolex is fitting nicely right now on my wrist, thank you.
Engraving on the inner bezel came out in 2008 on Z-Serial watches. The watch shown is an unworn Rolex Submariner from 2007 and is 100% Genuine with papers. We do not supply or deal with watches that are replica or fake or without genuine papers.

This is a fake as the bezel on a real roles doesn't click & the links are fitted so close & smooth that they make no chinking noises either.

The 'cyclops' ruins all Rolex in my honest opinion. The main reason I went for a Seamaster instead.
The Sea Dweller is without the cyclops but looks so boring in it's standard black colourway.
Note to Rolex: More colourways in the Sea Dweller or lose the cyclops!
