Replica or genuine

[snakefisher]

Hey guys, I know that some people in here can see if a watch is genuine or a fake just by looking at a photo. Can anyone tell me if this watch is an obvious replica or is there a possibility it could be genuine.

I hope I don't break any rules and thank you in advance!

Looks fake to me, but I aint an expert, maybe post it in the Rolex sub forum...

But where is it being sold?
Who is selling it?
How much are they asking?
Any pics of movement?

What do you mean by that? Where is the 25 marker?

After the 20 and before the 30.

30 = half past the hour.

25 = 25 minutes past the hour.

You're on a watch forum and you're asking how to read a watch?

Hope that helps!!!!

Yes, thank you. I was just not sure what exactly do you mean because English is not my native tongue and i don't deal with watches a lot.


The marker encircled in red is not symmetrical you mean? Yes, it does seem like it. I'll try to get more detailed photos of that specific marker. Thanks!

The quality of the photos is so bad, for me as someone who's not a Rolex guy, it's impossible to legit check it. Maybe better images may help.

I think it's not an obvious fake, but something still seems off. It's just a hunch and it could just be the low quality of the images...

I've looked at this a few times and finally realized a couple of issues present which I was having difficulty identifying. The date wheel should be champagne background, and the diamond indices have too wide of gold surround compared to a stock genuine. Also, the minute indicies are missing as are the dots you'd expect. Another point is I am not aware of Rolex using the swiss made with coronet between until the very recent models. Here's an example for comparison
