Guys, here is my views after I have study the watch a little closer.
I will say that dial is ok, not a piepan just a regular 180XX dial. The serial will match that watch too. There was different fonts and different things at those dials at that time just like it is today, so you can't just concentrating too much at tiny details. Then the OP is another story, I suppose he was just trying to have a funny Sunday. Closed case, at least for me. Jocke

Just wanted to see if he can pass it off as real to some potential victims, maybe?

Easy enough for Scott the website manager to tell you if those two"members" acces via the same IP .

Very nice macro pix. I also have a 'Z' SD. JJ authenticated. I apologise if you (and John) thought I was being sarcastic, my post was TIC just to indicate that a few pix are sometimes not enough to confirm authenticity. If you had not bought your SD from an AD I'm sure you would also have checked the movement which is IMO all we really needed to tell the OP in the absence of concensus. Leo was spot on with the narrow day script width but in those days who knows where the day wheels were being printed and what level Rolex QC was at. Has the OP gone for good or gone to have the back off? Time will tell.

mis spelling on the dial would have saved me 30 mins of my life from bloody reading!!!
The "8" was way off being an original it was looped back in to its self like a race track rather than an original Rolex scripture with it being 2 small loops adjoining to eachother. |

i came back from the AD. they siad they need to look up into it and asked me to leave the watch to them. they also let me signed a waiver that if ever the rolex is indeed fake, they will take possession of the watch. im sorry, but i am sincere with the thread.. no spoofing out.. as for the old post, indeed it was a fake watch.. i think dad has a thing for these kind of watches.
cheers. |

Its amazing what you can forget in an old safe. Or new one for that matter.

Found Rolex in Safe
My 2 cents for what it is worth....
I have to admit after thirty years as a safe and vault technician I have never seen anything of value in a customer "found" safe after I drilled them open. Exception to the rule is death, I have found mostly junk in dead peoples safes nothing of value. One time a horder died and the attorney took possession of the home and the horder had 5 old large safes each safe was in the garage where it looked like a land fill. Each safe that I drilled had documents dating back before christ but no valuable items. Now in regards to drug dealers that is a whole different subject, I have seen a lot of drugs in safes retreaved by the DEA whom I have done business with as well as the local PD and ATF. Most people do have an account of all of thier items in a safe and if I am drilling a safe I have them stay with me at all times. |

When I first saw this photo, I thought it was photoshoped. Look at the writing registered design, it looks flat across and does not follow the curve of the watch. Strange. Tale sign, the distance between the letters from the top of the watch in the middle and then the letters on the ends. Hummm |
