Interesting article ...

"Since the days of that first fake Rolex, I have lived in most of the countries attributed with producing fake watches; China, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore and over the years I have seen how the quality of them has improved to the point that many replicas are virtually indistinguishable, to the untrained eye, from the real thing. "

sad but true state of rampant counterfeit rolexes... my recent trip to hongkong is evident of the easy availabilty of counterfeit rolexes... go to temple street, ladies market, to name a few, and you have numerous peddlers calling "copy watch for u?" and readily showing catalogues of their counterfeit goods including rolexes and branded leather goods... Guessed it will never change as long as there is demand for them...

Sea-Dweller/Sub suitable for small wrists? (6 inches)

Hi all,

I was wondering if the Sea-dweller or Submariner would be too big for my 6 inch wrist. I wear an Omega midsize SMP, but can't help admiring the ruggedness of the Sea-dweller. Any information or wrist shots would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dun rule out becos u hv a small wrist size. I hv a small wrist too. Used to wear a boy size Tag. 40mm never cross my mind. But when I tried a Sub date, I fell in love.......why? The watch is too attractive. U never notice your small wrist...hehe.

Even if you have a small wrist...40mm is alright. Just don't go for 50mm like alarm clock liddat...not for some

hi folks, just received info that the new batch of SD in THG does NOT have the rolex chapter ring. so for those who are so hardup like myself to get a sports model with a chapter ring would better off with either a subbie, a non-date subbie or an explorer. i am citing these models cos personally i dun see myself paying big moola for a gmt master.

Did you check with HG or WP @ LP? Maybe they will carry SD with the rolex chapter ring.

i have checked with both. The crb appears to be non-existant in SD but virtually present in every other model.

[ohlins]

international members from other forums also said they have yet to see a SD with engraved flange.....

maybe later......

maybe not... i am speculating but i was reading rumors elsewhere Basel 2008, SD will be "refreshed" like GMT IIc.. if so, can this be a reason why SD will not have the CRB/engravd flange? food for thought...
