Exxondus, You are right!..Here is the picture of my GMT C..The GMT hour hand should be above the hour hand...

Hmmm.... Bro think you might be making mistake here... The green hand is stacked after the hour hand... The order goes like this...

From bottom up is the hour hand, green hand, minute hand and then lastly second hand. Got this conclusion from looking at numerous pics and also the official Rolex web site.

Cos I was reading your post and then looking at my watch... Gave myself a scare when you said the green hand is the bottom most... This scrambled me to look at pics and do some research... Lucky ah.....

why u think i want to see his GMT2C pics

Dark Angel is right. One of the most obvious fake is the hands stack. The GMT green hand should be the bottom most. However the fake on picture 1 and 3 has the hand stack after the hour (silver) hand. On the second picture, the depth where the rolex-rolex-rolex being engraved is shallower on the fake.

Anyway, this fake is extremely close but when you hold it physically, it would be easier to tell. I am not an expert but I have the new GMT 2C SS as well and I spent some time with the watch under 2.5x magnification glass...

Thanks for all the help here Bros... Now I can safely say I can spot a fake GMTIIc much better... Was looking at those 3 pics and got all the 3 answers right cos I was looking at my watch for comparison hehe....

But I cannot say the same for the other models of Rolex... Still have a lot to learn....

brought up this old topic in spotting real rollie...

most rollie u need to check on 1 thing... the polishing...

rollie has one of the best factory polishing in the market... its always so highly polish (esp 904 steel) that it become white mirror shine... tilt against light and u get wat i mean... its smooth and you will not see any uneven surfaces... its like a mirror flat...

hope this help... now u try to see the 3 pic again...

[Darkangel]

Wah!! GAO ZAO!!! I agree that these three pix are relatively easy with obvious signs. ESP the rehaut engraving. Fakes not up to marks yet but I think it can happen.

Haha...this is the highest standard...I doubt they will put in more money to improvise.

Their quality has never been gd and will never be gd because they needa maintain low costs.

I last tme also must touch touch shake shake then knw some thing is real or fake. Nw i see see look look can tell already. But not watch orh. Go figure

Darkie's skill has improved, last time must touch touch shake shake.... then can tell real or fake. Now see see look look.... can tell already

No leh sam...I havent seen this before...
