Is this real?! Opinions please!

Hello could I get some opinions on this please?

I understand the pictures arent great and the watch is in bad condition, but any indications to whether this is genuine or not would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I'm no expert but looks Way fake. Nasty fake. Cyclops is wrong. Black square around date hole looks wrong. No swiss authentication at bottom of dial.

I would think seeing the "gold" flaking off would give one an indication of authenticity.

Yeah it's bad. Had to look twice at the bracelet clasp but that's also quite bad. Everything is wrong. Sorry.

Looks like a very old fake made from very poor quality pot metal. Probably has a battery in it and the second hand probably "ticks" once per second. LOL

Several things look wrong. Cyclops, second hand, case back, peeling gilt paint.

Rolex is famous for making quality timepieces. You should be able to answer the question yourself just by looking at this POS. Does it look like quality to you?
