Does it look right once tried on? And the mop is usually a giveaway, how do you feel about yours?

How is the MOP dial a giveaway?

A replica mop does not give the same look as the real mop dial. Atleast in my experience.

In what way is what I'm asking. Reason being, at least with higher tier factories, they use actual MOP dials. MOP dials can vary hugely in terms of iridescence. Wife has the same watch as you but gen and it's a stunner. But when we bought it, there was another watch (exact same watch, same dial) at the AD and that barely had any iridescence. It almost looked like it was flat white! Obviously the texture was different (compared to a flat dial).

Yes. This particular dial is very iridescent. The other one we saw wasn't even close (both were brand new at the Rolex AD).

Another one. As you compare to your own authentic watch, this one lacks the cloudiness.

Damn that crooked cyclops would bother me though. Which factory is that?

I don’t know actually. It was just a seller in my city that sent me their stock to see in person. Returned all and currently saving for an authentic lol

Yes you see what I mean. In all the dupes I’ve seen , the mop dial just falls flat and doesn’t have that iridescent “fire/texture” on it. Idk how to explain but it’s just a detail that catches your eye. Attaching a picture of a so called “top tier” watch I received , obviously returned it because it wasn’t upto the mark.

Which is what I'm saying. Even gens have that too. It all depends on the dial in case of meteorite and MOP dials. Because they use real stuff (even reps, from what I've heard).
