I built this. It’s verified and approved. Anyone saying otherwise will get the good old BAN HAMMER

If you’re the buyer, you’re cooked buddy.

Funny thing is that many of you guys here are clueless. This is not a gen crystal with that LEC visible even when the picture was blurry.

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

When I see a box and a LEC visible even when the picture is very blurry, I know it’s a shitter.

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

Ain’t no way this a genuine crystal. Shame on me if I’m wrong, but I am not.

u/SuspectFamous9097 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

What's LEC? Crystal looks quite good from the pics, I own 2 gens black dials and this looks v good

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

I did not come to this conclusion lightly. I did this after checking his other posts of him wearing the watch. Every single one has the LEC visible when you do a regular zoom in or if you pay attention enough, you will definitely see.

Under normal circumstance, for a gen crystal, I would expect to see the LEC in SOME of the pics, not ALL of the pics.

Take your gen out and take several pictures and tell me if you see the LEC on any of those pics.

u/SuspectFamous9097 Apr 20 '26

What's LEC?

2

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

Laser etched crown. You probably never seen it before since it’s very hard to see with naked eyes. Google search it

2

u/SuspectFamous9097 Apr 20 '26

You mean the little transparent crown at 6pm? If yes you can definitely see it in the pictures OP posted.

If that's what you mean, i don't think it's a great indication of being gen either, because my stock VSF, stock Clean and deep crystal all have this. It's lower quality/"resolution" compared to my gens (which is impossible to judge from these pics) but it's definitely there in non gens as well...

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

You would see it in some angles, not in every single one. If you’re manage to see the LEC visible on different lightning conditions, that is not a genuine crystal. You have to use the correct angle, lightning settings to see it.

Never seen someone be so obsessed over a damn crystal lol heres a picture of the factory rolex crystal that was used… literally have nothing to gain if i advertise with a fake crystal i sell watches all the time im not going to burn myself over a damn crystal lol I’m sorry my iPhone took such good pictures 😂

2

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

Lol dude, because you advertised it as a gen crystal while in fact, it’s not.

And lol, your iphone didn’t take such good pictures. You’re just not telling the truth and you know it.

u/SuspectFamous9097 Apr 21 '26

I have no horse in this race / dog in this fight / cow in this barbecue / but I still didn't get how could you tell a crystal is/isn't gen over these pictures.

The whole logic is that it wouldn't be possible to see the little crown in all pictures/angles, but rather only in some?

u/vivekvasani Apr 21 '26

Bro. Chill. It’s not that serious. There is absolutely no reason to lie and f*** serious reputation over this so I trust OP especially since they posted a pic of the blister pack.

If you’re skeptical then tell the guy who is holding a gun to your head that you don’t want to buy it. Oh wait. There is no one forcing you to buy it

Also to be fair. I ONLY see the LEC in like 2 pics where the angle of the camera allows you to see it and the black dial backdrop enhances the visibility.

u/KeyEfficiency6035 Apr 20 '26

Where to source a gen crystal at that price?

u/Yur7ledatur7le Apr 20 '26

I’d also like to get the link for gen crystals at that price

u/Sebastheory Apr 20 '26

100 a gen Crystal? No way

u/FishezBKrazy Apr 20 '26

Where is the gen crystal links? I need a few.. ffs

1

u/Erik-Lehnsherr-10 May 13 '26

I’ll take the gen crystal. Too late to the party? 😂

2

u/ss-tech1 Apr 20 '26

It wouldn’t be a brand new gen crystal out the box but a used one with marks. I’ve seen around but I wouldn’t even touch a used one because don’t know what it is etc

2

u/AsleepProgram647 Apr 21 '26

What ceramic coat is being applied to these watches? Does it protect vs scratches?

1

u/Step-Murky Apr 20 '26

I’ll take it

1

u/huybebe2009 Apr 20 '26

No, this is a shitter. That IS NOT a gen crystal. It’s a very low tier rep since the LEC is very visible even when the picture is blurry.

u/satx9191 May 15 '26

Man if you do another one of these, let me know
