if you don't wanna admit that the dial on this TH Carrera Calibre 1 Vintage replica look different from the Real one, by all means please go ahead if it feeds your ego.

I think he meant that how do u tell e difference in e dial between the replica he posted (which he has already admitted to) and the real one.

I don't think he is still insisting that what he posted is a genuine watch :o

Anyway e answer would be e replica's dial shape of the mounts are different, so is the 3D effect too.

The first thing which caught my attention was the finishing on the rubber strap. The cutaways and the groves are very different from the one I saw at TH boutique. So I did a google search.

Comparing closer, second giveaway is the squarish pattern design in the middle of the dial and the distance between the ends and the seconds dial face.

Last give away is the length of the hour markers.

I'm sure the kor kor n dai dai kors here who own genuine luxury watches will be able to spot differences if they come across replicates...

The model you bought is a current one. While recently there have been pictures of your model with the new "dssd" bezel, there's never been any official announcement of change nor was Rolex's website updated. It could be a new variant but no one knows if it's here to stay.

My suggestion is to enjoy the watch you bought. Personally i prefer the older bezel but it's really up to individual preference.

If it really bothers you so much till you are unable to eat, sleep, etc to a point where it is interfering with your daily life you may want to consider selling it then sourcing out the newer bezel variants. :D

I won't be surprise the ADs have not gotten hold of the "dssd' bezel variant seeing they probably have to clear their existing stocks first.

The link below is a thread on Sgroc discussing the new bezel.
Latest Submariner variant: new bezel for 116613LN

Thanks for the link and information bro.
I have obtained lots of information and know better.
This thread is very gd n friendly.

Why scare? They are mostly quite friendly.and usually deal in RSC where the Rolex staffs also adjust the bracelet for u. Not much different buying from AD. Ad can try other models. But the grey I bought from also bring both black n blue for me to choose.

I strolled past Scott square, 2nd level @ sincere, and spotted an ALS which I believe someone mention that he missed it by one person earlier. It was in steel version.

Luckily it doesn't speak to me.

Wola.. Behold the grand Seiko.. :D have always been looking at one just that the courage of getting a non Swiss watch is fearful.. Partially hoping to be a brand ***** like yatto dai kor.. :s22:

Seiko is a brand :s13: But I know what you mean. There's always that slight doubt cos of the oft said line "but it's just a Seiko". But the quality of GS is simply quite amazing. After handling one, you'll be left with no doubt that it's a high quality timepiece. Easily equal to Rolex but at a lower price. And it's rarer too.
