Accie's fake Rolex.

[Regular.Cyclist]

It wasn't described as a 'fake' though. It was described as a 'super clone', which to me says it's a copy, not a fake.

A copy, without the authorisation of the copyright holder, is a fake. It’s sole purpose is to intend to deceive. Nothing ‘clone’ or ‘super’ about it.

I'm getting close to buying this T-bar and short chain and clasp. Getting close as in it takes me quite a while of comparing stuff to other similar ones for sale. I prefer this one as it has a clasp, so I could place it in the middle of that long chain I have for a full Albert affect, or double the chain and wear it from pocket to a close button hole for a half Albert, double chain affect. That middle link looks a bit odd to me. It looks quite thin. I must say that link is making me hesitate in buying the item. 🤔 But after much searching it's the only gold T-bar with a clasp I've found. There are silver ones out there for much less money, but silver on a gold chain...er maybe not.🤔 There are also brass ones, but non with a fitted clasp are to be found.

I'd pass on that one @Accy cyclist

The links are very worn and stretched, and it won't take much for them to rub through. Would cost too much to put right.

Keep looking.

I could ask the goldsmith I know to connect the clasp to the T-bar. He should be able to, probably having to slightly melt/soften the link on the clasp. The lobster claw clasp is on offer at 50% off till tomorrow, as in later today. I think this should work. 🤔

If I were in your shoes Accy, I'd look for one in good condition.

But then again, I'm not wearing your quarter brogues, and you're not wearing my pink crocs

Well I finally found a T-bar and had it fitted. I bought the 4.7 grams, 9 carat circa 1915 for £135 off fleabay. The seller wanted £160. I asked the seller if they'd accept £130. He/she replied saying "I'll meet you halfway, so will £135 be ok"? I said yes thanks, as to me halfway would've been £145, so I obviously didn't quibble. It only arrived in the post today. I took the bar and chain to the goldsmith I know who softened the big ring on the T-bar and fitted it in the middle of the chain for a mere 2 quid. Now all I need is a weight or a fob etc for the end of the chain not attached to the watch. Something like a monocle will do the job. I'm not after a gold one as I've spent enough on this project! I think this one will be fine. It's 16.1 grams in weight, so heavy enough to keep the end of the chain in my pocket.

What are those hallmark numbers? I can see 901 on the bottom pic', but it looks slightly like 201 on the top one. 🤔

Those aren't my fingernails by the way.

But it doesn't though! It's a hideous colour! 🧐 I prefer red, or maybe dusky pink.

By the way @Accy cyclist its Carat not Karat

It's been slightly bugging me since you posted this. I thought at the time it could be spelt/spelled 🤔 either way.

Carat and Karat are spellings you will see interchangeably in jewellery related texts. “Carat” as a spelling can refer to either gold purity or diamond weight, whereas “karat” can only refer to gold purity.

And a person who doesn't know the difference is a "Carrott."
