There can be significant issues for those who buy over the internet without appropriate knowledge and experience.
The only way to be 100% satisfied is to go yourself, in person, to a Rolex service centre or authorised Rolex service centre and get it sorted out.
Replicas watches are the product of high level criminal activity.
A real Rolex watch is in a totally different league to a fake watch.

I hope you have a genuine rolex, sure looks real. What happens is the counterfeit operators make cheap, easily recognizable fakes in southeast asia. however, of late,, much better fakes are using cheap Japanese movements(sometimes Chinese) with dial, bracelet(using cheap metal), crown, stem, etc. being precisely copied as possible to a genuine rolex. If you examine the bracelet, dial carefully you can usually(but not always) tell. If you listen to the movement in a dead quiet room or with a stethoscope you can hear the difference between a cheapo mechanical movement and one that 'whirrs' with a rotor...but Steve is right...the acid test is pulling that movement in a reputable shop by someone (preferably) who's been to rolex school. best of luck!
