Rolex

In the letter Rolex Geneva denies the excistence of the blueberry insert . I never believed in blueberry insert. I studied auction catalogs from the big 4 auction houses they where first spinned as coming from Cartier around 2004 and from Tiffanys. later ...

for this information. Very helpful, indeed.

Just to make them 'special' (therefore, expensive) These are nothing more than franken GMT Masters? Also, I really wonder if 'fresh from factory' Subs/GMTs are real or another franken? Thanks for the info, Nicolas!

If you trace the historiy of who sold most blueberry inserts , are some todays big dealers if you also realize they are organized , that they endorse each others junk , that they have blogs who spin fake stories . And with al the earnings they made sellin... 

And collectors seem willing to pay a lot nowadays (rare! Will go up in price --> investment), so they got screwed 😝 Thanks for your view

My apology 😰

Can anyone translate the OP's letter? Tnx

I always thought it would be extremely unlikely for Rolex to comment directly, officially. For those of you who are vintage Rolex collectors how unusual is it for Rolex to provide this letter? If it’s very unusual, then why would they do it in this instan...

I don't follow the question of Rolex bezel insert authenticity too closely, but I do recall (from a debate elsewhere about the "blueberry" authenticity) that Rolex may have made at least a small batch of all-blue 1675 inserts for watches that were sold to... 

Their experts are capable of making mistakes and frankly auction houses make up terms to explain anomalies that are sometimes modifications. Paraphrasing, "I'm pleased to present an exceptionally rare version Mark 2.5 of this rare watch." They're exceptio... 

I had one a long time ago. There was always rumors about cartier having these and mysteriously would show up. But then the correct combination was having a full red hand which it self is controversial. So putting the controversies together. Also there was...  

Rolex Blueberry insert heaven ...  

Without the support of the knowledge base (so many rely on dealers as the knowledge base) these inserts presumably would never have gained traction like they did. I know there were many skeptics out there who for a long time were vocal about these inserts... 

Speaking from point of few from the dealers side this is about greed. There are clearly a group of malicious dealers who work in organized matter , endorse each others frankwatches online , sell fake spare parts . . Even when blueberry came into the limel... 

That blew up for the seller. But apparently later was vindicated.

And when the information can be further verified. I was reminded of a lot of the work done by perezscope for panerai while reading this. Glad to have people like perezscope to offer a well researched and balanced view to the marketing info from panerai n ... 

You guys are our guardian angel.

I’m sure made by the same people in Europe who are now sat on their Yachts having a right old laugh. M.

Thanks for sharing.
