[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 7880, member: 30"]THANK YOU for sharing your expertise, Jsales. I looked at mine again and it still does appear to be gold and perhaps brushed titanium? It is probably a very good fake with "diamonds" set into each number. They actually do look like diamonds too. It's difficult for me to see with the 10x magnifier but it does state that it is quartz. I will have to look at it in the daylight with a loup. I just always assumed mine was a fake, albeit a very nice watch. One thing that made me think mine was fake is the fastener has a longer backing part that is hidden by the band - the part that rests against my wrist. I wore mine for many years and never needed to replace a battery - but now I cannot move the dial winder knob out to set the time.:arghh: I believe mine was made in the mid 1980s and I saw a lot of Rolex fakes coming through the marketplace back then. Most of the ones I looked at were obvious fakes, this is the only one I ever questioned. I'll try to take some pics and post to show you what I'm talking about with the fastener but it will take me some time. I cannot seem to get much accomplished these days..:dead:[/QUOTE]
