I think it was a 3DS rendering (I remember that I was amazed that so
much people could think it was rendered with POV-Ray, while the poor
quality of reflection mapping was blatant, though the model was done
well).

Really ? Don't remember.

Anyway, since then, whenever someone posts a non-POV-Ray (other
renderer or photograph) image, he uses "awesome rolex" as subject line !
Also that's how we call any fake (intentional or not) image.
