Any Rolex Owners?

[ny1800]

I purchased a fake Rolex Submariner in China in 2018 for $50
Only to the trained eye, can one tell that its a knockoff.
I mean its damn near fool proof.

It works and I have no problems at all and get complimented all the time on it
Which is crazy within itself.

My wife on the other hand has a real one and she has buyers remorse.
There's always something wrong with it.
She always tells me she wishes she had a knockoff.

My advice is that its probably not worth the coin.
Its a good conversation piece though.
Fellow Rolex owners will go out their way to ask you about it and share stories.
They notice them from a mile away.

Damn, you got lucky homie. Has anyone ever spotted that it was a fake? And where in China did you get it?

The only person who's been able to spot it was when I took it to the repair shop last year.
He laughed and said, I know this is a replica, but its a damn good one.
I got it at the Pearl Market in Beijing.
Funny thing is that when I went, there were a lot of American sisters in there.
They were in there loading up on knock off Louis, Hermes, Chanel and YSL bags.
You legit could not tell the difference in any of the stuff there.

It’s very easy to tell a fake Rolex. Just get a nice seiko instead.

Do you own one? Yes
What model? 16233 (Gold and Stainless Steel Datejust)
Do you believe it was worth the ticket? Yes
Any suggestions on a vendor? No

I bought mine in the late 80's. It has been serviced only once due to the glass crystal being damaged from a bad fall.

One thing to keep in mind is that when you do send any Rolex in for servicing, it will be completely and thoroughly checked and serviced. Had I known that when I purchased mine, I would have purchased a used one.

I did not buy it for the bling; I bought it to last a lifetime. So far, I have not been disappointed.

Does it scratch? Can it be polished to look brand new when it does? That's the biggest issue for me.

 

[Walter Panov]

Yes I own several of them.

I would really suggest a stainless steel datejust 41 with the white gold fluted bezel. I just got one for $10,500. This model is very versatile and they hold their value the best. Avoid gold and steel models.

Where did you buy it?

I have a Daytona & GMT-Master, I rarely wear them anymore.

Why don’t you wear them?

Funny , I was thinking that your will was being probated by now, but by a miracle you’re alive.
