Rolex 126610LV "Starbucks" MK2: RICH vs Gen side by side Comparison

RICH Factory's ( I will refer to it as RF for short from now on) Rolex Submariner MK2 V2 ——Movements are available in free-sprung versions.

1.MK2 bezel:

The color of the updated green bezel is “gold green”. RF can achieve 99% similarity to the original.

For users whose genuine bezel (including ceramic insert) is damaged, this part can be used as a replacement.

2.Dial:

For users whose genuine dial is damaged, RF dial can be directly installed as a replacement.

The reason is that the outer edge of the dial is CNC-machined with a cut, which allows compatibility with genuine watches.

The pattern and details on the back of the dial are identical to the original. RF does not provide further explanation on other details.

3.Hands:

The luminous part is recessed, the edges of the metal parts are chamfered, and the sides have a polished finish.

4.Crown:

Under magnification, the area around the crown logo on the original is uneven, while RF is smooth.

5.Crystal:

The magnifier coating color matches the original version and is highly transparent.

What's your thoughts on these? Info courtesy of ARC Studio. Feedback and opinions from you all watch enthusiasts is welcome. VSF begins to have some competition, but I'm not sure that this product is yet superior, even though it is free sprung while VSF isn't. But it looks promising.

RGF vs Gen Rolex Bluesy

Gen on left, RGF on right (previously called RCF). RGF bluesy has Deep crystal installed, which is a cheap mod (±50€) that basically changes the crystal for a clearer one. After having seen extensive QCs and posts on RWI from RCF/RGF, I believe it's a must on all RGF watches.

The plating on the rep is EXQUISITELY done, gone are the days of having to replate the watch to remove the 🧀 cheesy gold look. I find replating unnecessary on all RGF watches. I'm surprised at how similar they look, even when put side by side. Weight is apparently the same too, so that's another win for us rep lovers. (Not my pics, I'm not a yellow gold guy)

What do you guys think?

SUPERFRANKEN ROOTBEER 126711 CHNR

Hey yall

I wanted to ask what a fair price would be for an almost genuine Rolex. Everything on the watch is gen except for the movement. The movement inside is a DD3285. The watch was assembled/made in Germany. I paid a bit too much for it, so i just wanted to have like an estimate. It’s not used, and i don’t think i will.

What do you think something like this would be worth? Bids are welcome in my dm, i have more pics of course and everything.

Random Thursday thoughts…..”chamfering” “franked” and general modding terms…

There are lots of “modders” out there. And many TDs offer “fully franked” watches for sale. But who builds them?

Answer: they are all built in China. All by the same group. All those “chamfered & polished” bracelets….yep all coming already done from China. All those cute little “snowy videos” of the so called “builds” aren’t even done by the modders hands. Just a middle man for China shops who actually do all the work! Wild right??!

And let’s talk about chamfering for a second. Some of these are getting wayyyy too polished and over-chamfered. Visit your local AD and handle some genuine Rolexes. You’ll see they are less “polished” than you may think. The “feel” is what gets you. Rolex finishing is just exquisite. It’s like melted butter in your hand. It’s not rattly, it’s smooth and silky. It’s hard to replicate that without “overdoing” it.

We build everything right here in Texas. Every watch is done by hand, to order. And our team owns several genuine Rolexes to use as a guide tool. We take a lot of pride in our work. It’s not cheap, but neither is the genuine.
