Rolex datejust on auction, can someone confirm its a fake?

[MassMass]

Hi, found an auction for a couple of watches, one of them is a datejust for ladies. For me it looks very fake at first glance but when comparing to vintage gen ones the finish is pretty similar. However, now I cant stop thinking about it, can someone pls just confirm that this is a fake so I can let it go, otherwise I won't be able to sleep if I don't buy it. What makes me confused is that the auction house is a serious one but sells mostly old furniture etc. Maybe this one has slipped through without anyone noticing it is a Rolex?

links look like solid gold from the photos, all gold is the same colour...i'd say it may be the real deal. photo quality is potato grade though.

Ye, I thought that too! Has seen a lot of faded gold links and bezels over the years but this one looks pretty solid. However, I cant find a gen one with the "lume dots" separated from the hour marks and the text on the lower half seems too big to me. The current bid is 400$ for the whole lot, it would be a shame to miss it if this one is a gen.

Unfortunately this is the only pics I have

My gen mid 90's datejust dial has a dial very similar but 36mm, if we could see the bottom and it says TSWISSMADET it would be correct..... i think.

It's a shame we don't have access to better pictures, definitely agree with the post above, definitely looks like gold and not plating.

Makes me feel relieved! Is it any specific details that make it obvious?
