It's not as if Rolex manufacture clocks like that, so it's not a "fake" but definitely an infringement of trademark. Rolex's lawyers will act or not, as they see fit. Personally I quite fancy one, especially with the sweeping second hand.
Mate of mine bought me one of these for my birthday/man-cave recently and if it's the same manufacturer, the second hand really does sweep!! :eagerness:
Put a strap on one of those and we can even make the obese+++ people of today happy ;)

£50 in Turkey.
Get them whilst you can then as the Rolex rep will see them tomorrow morning...
I seem to remember getting a bit of 'flak' when I put up a wtb for one of these a couple of year ago. I was so upset I never bought one :dejection:
We have a blue Sub one in our kitchen. Works fine, second hand sweeps, date clicks over too. Inexpensive and doesn't look crap at all!
Ive had a black daytona one for 5 years
Great clock

Ladies' Market, Mong Kok - about 40 quid a pop. These lack the branding which suits me. They keep great time and the seconds hand does sweep nicely.

I have the white milgauss. When I get a chance I'll open it up and put in a CERN logo at 12 o'clock.

forget the fact they are infringing on intellectual property rights, but £75!!!!
Some people just have too much money!

Naff beyond words. A relatively small outlay will pick up a good Bakelite cased vintage Smiths Sectric wall clock- lovely and genuinely horologically interesting. I know what I would rather have.
I bought one. Got a bit strapped for cash. Watchfinder offered me £15 for it and it’s now up on their website for £125...
My brother gave me this years ago to match my BLNR, hung it in my office, love it.

Rookie error. Advice is one thing, opinions are something else.Quote:

my mate has one in his shop and he only deals with vintage watches.... looks great
Rolex should have made them - Panerai JLC make them for their dealers etc.. .
I don’t mind them, Bremont sent me an MB one a few years ago too.
Bit of fun and great for the war room, bar or man cave.
This electric Metamec has been on my wall for years happily sweeping the second hand, got it off eBay for about £20 but adds a bit of 60’s nostalgia to the clock wall..Quote:

Wow, rather "in you face" wall clocks😳

Just ask and wait 5 minutes while they put the Lettering on..... I have one or two as "Tributes" to my Watches, they are actually quite reasonable quality.

A few sellers mentioning they will apply “logos” n request.

Rolex do make dealer clocks, I've seen them on the wall in ADs.
How to get hold of one, and what the price would be are different matters
These look like cheap tat to me ....
That is so Watchfinder, or Spreadfinder as I call them.Quote:

Got one in the end from gumtree, really nice
They used to sell those clocks with the logo, but over the last 10 years the sellers have stored them around the corner along with the "fake" watches.Quote:
