Explorer II Replica

[pegasi]

I wouldn't call this a top grade...is there really such thing as a top grade fake?

Judging from what I am seeing from the pic of the fake watch in this thread, I think if you've seen and feel the real thing before you would be able to tell that it's a fake. More so if you could see the fake physically. From the pic all the numbers/letters on the dial/bezel as well as the hands look very low quality to me. Look at the "SWISS MADE" - it's not even aligned in the center (compare the gap between the first letter "S" and the 32 minute marker, with that of the last letter "E" and the 28 mintue marker).

Bingo That's what I meant

Ya, looks like it's a copy of the new rather than the existing Explorer II.

From PHing.com and I think it is still available... do a search like 'rolex replica'

Where did u see the fake explorer?

[Watcha]

New case. Sub crown guard. Old hands.

The hands are the main giveaway.

my humble opinion, i happened to compare a fake and a real one side by side. its always the bezel font and crown difference. both are too big in the fakes.

In my opinion, this fake might have made it the same 40mm Explorer II 2011 but the hands are not quite there yet but I won't be surprise it will be, giving them the time, they will come up the same. The second thing is also the new lume, it's blue now rather then the usual green. That might be the give away that's its still flaw on their part. Obviously, the reason why the old hands were used is becos they had already mass produced and that for clients who wants this new watch first, they might as well sprayed the colors as the new version and does what they do best..

Well 'TheOldJaffa' you are right, there will always be difference when you put a fake with the original, that is what you owned. But for those who don't, they will feel the thrill that it might look original.
