Richard Mille: No worries

It’s no problem! On a separate note, to me the 9 and 27 are the best RM ever made and represent the pinnacle of brand innovation.

Hi- We don't know each other but I would appreciate it if you credited me for using this photograph I took (of my watches). Thank you.

Rolex: Ummmmm.....Am I the only one here that sees this dial is fake?

Not only is the bezel AM, but the dial is a fake as well. Probably bought both of them from the same vendor in Vietnam.

Rolex: I'm sorry Nicolas....

While I agree that the Red (Single and Double) 6542 GMTs are great, the one you pictured here is a fake. Its a "Yuki" (or similar) version of the real thing. I've attached pics of the Yuki 6542 GMT dial, which oddly is no longer for sale on their website anymore, after a prominent dealer posted one

Rolex: Watch was retailed by Ricciardi

Ricciardi was a Rolex dealer based in Argentina. The stamped numbers on the back of the lug correspond to the inventory numbers from the jeweler. If you search online (and in the forum, you'll see numbers beginning with 154,xxx and 155,xxx being typical of the time on Rolexes retailed by Ricciardi.

Rolex: Am I the only one that thinks this is a fake?!

Hi guys- While the patina of this dial looks great, am I the only one here that is willing to call this dial out as a fake here? The signs are all there- wrong fonts, fake hands, weird lume etc...

Rolex: Why so defensive??

I've already stated in my earlier post that the 1016 you posted is fine and the watch in question is the 6610. Be my guest and take it to any other dealer for authentication and they will tell you the same thing. Furthermore, you show your 6610 in successive photos on no less than 3 different straps

Rolex: I'll be more clear here....

Rolex NEVER made a 6610 with a honeycomb dial, and this particular example has characteristics as I pointed out that would NOT be correct for any Rolex of that era or any era. While the Skeet and Url book provides a good baseline of info for the novice collector, it is not by any means the be all an

Rolex: miss-spoke

Hi Abel- I misspoke about TWO fake/refinished dials. I saw closeups of the 6610 dial and assumed it was a 6350 dial, then saw the side by side shots which you labeled as 6610. In haste I thought they were two separate watches when in fact they are the same. I will say that the 1016 is absolutely fin

Rolex: Comparison of real honeycomb vs. fake/refinished.

Hi guys- Sorry for the belated post here, but the 6610 did not come ever with a honeycomb dial. This was a characteristic of the 6350, and below is a picture (credit to SteveP) of a "textbook" example. Not the gold colored (gilt) paint used on the dial surface, and the fine texture of the honeycomb
