<walking on eggshells...> - recognizing cosmetically enhanced 1675's?

Wow, relax... If an established OFer had made the same two posts, would you have been bothered?
Post farming probably isn't @PerJ's motive as he has been a member here for nearly two years... 😉

Besides that, if PerJ is the Per I know from another watch forum, he most certainly is a collector that knows his Rolex.

Totally unrelaxed for a couple of weeks, hypersensitive, the sligthest hint of WUS-like posts gets me out of the saddle. And now back to the topic of this important and heavy weight thread.

Stop watering important (or any) threads with point- and brainless oneliners, postfarming etc..or other I can predict you a very short future here. Thank you.

Hi,

To be honest I am just trying to defuse the thread a little bit. Sure; some people fake certain things sometimes but there are a lot of false facts by newbies on how the hobby works. Buying vintage is not really as super difficult as some think if you take your time and do research. 😀

Hope you have a great day!

Ok I don't get this unless the whole concept of a dishwasher is a joke. Who in their right mind would put a valuable vintage watch into a very hot high water pressured device ?
Or is the dial removed first ?
Did I miss that being the obvious procedure ?
I don't even take my valuable pieces into the bathroom, tiled floors and water are very deleterious to vintage watches.
Just curious.
On the OP theme I just bought a blueberry insert from HK , excellent quality and a good fit. The same company sells dials, cases, hands, bracelets, buckles, even a cloned movement !
Beware my friends

Being Swedish I had to try. Started off with two glossy black dials and put the GMT in my dishwasher a couple of times. Tadaa!

lol nice work! I believe it works better when you use ASKO

Wow! Being a swede myself AND having an ASKO maybe I should try it on my 2998-3, since Sweden is all but tropic (well, this summer was kinda), I guess that's the way to go. 😀
