Icon5 Help Please.

I have just joined the Forum ,require help to find out if the rolex that I have had for a few years is genuine.Been reading I think its Gents DJ SS W/G got 18k stamp,White roman dial,Diamond studded face no( swiss made )marking down the bottom covered with small diamonds,24 small diamonds around outside of the face.
Would appreciate any help ,as I was told its a copy,you can also see mechanism working in the back with gold plate that slides,and ruby set in the middle.:

If you have a "see trough" case back it must be a fake . No rolex has apparent mouvement case back for as far i know

Not necessarily. Aftermarket clear casebacks are available, although I would not recommend it.

that is of course a possibility , even more so if it has diamonds on the bezel , that sounds aftermarket as well .

Welcome and yes pictures would be a help. I agree on the transparent case back. Is there an authorized dealer near you? They would likely be able to authenticate it for you.

I don't need to see pictures......it's a fake.

Rolex has never made a SS watch with 18K stamps...
