Too good to be true?

Found this on a local ad and asking price is 4000CAD.
Seller claims authentic..
Box looks a little shady but I’m no Rolex expert.
What do you all think?

Too good to be true? Yes it is

Terrible pictures but looks like a poor fake to me

Do you have a reason why it looks fake?

Generally as a forum we don't list details, all I will say is compare with the images on the Rolex website and a few things will jump out immediately.

Also as I said the images are a very poor quality, ask for better images if not sure

Ok thank you... I’ll try to look closer but it is also a 2004 watch

One detail I will give, the Serial number F437091 is a well known fake, always worth typing the number into Google as you never know what might come up

2004 would be a Five Digit? Lugs Too Thick?

If it WERE Genuine, it could NOT be a 2004 Sub.

The new maxicase and dial were not out in 2004. Fake IMHO
