Is this Rolex gen?

[Kanew]

Hi guys,
Considering picking this up this evening, got a good deal on it.
The only issue is that it has the purple dial on a 2008??
Is this right?
Thanks

Insert doesn't look so good. "Swiss dial" but purple tint? I would vote fake!

Not sure about what year this one is since it's sold but this one is a gen Rolex.

@QueTip please help this poor guy

The real question is why did rolex actually make that in gen such a clash of colors.

But more on topic, looks quite fake imo. Insert and bezel teeth look really off

You're probably best taking this piece to an AD to have it confirmed to have a piece of mind and to make sure that everything is in working order as it should be IMO.

Even if it is gen, it's still ugly as hell. imo.

Maybe the crystal has been AR'd and thus... the purple tint? Crystal looks crooked too... check the date mag.

If it's a rep, it's pretty damn good case though. I think the case is gen... crown guards look too perfect. Maybe some kind of franken-build?

Crooked triangle on the dial, AR on the cyclope, purlpe tint as hell, too visible LEC , M serial, crappy pearl and bezel...

I vote for a BP factory

I have no idea what's "BP factory". Been out of the loop too long.

Do you have a link to dealer website? I'm interested to see this as the case looks pretty damn good.

Too bad about the rest.

It's fake. Don't waste your time meeting up with him. Waste of time.
