I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but Rolex has never made a watch that looked like that. What you have there is a fake Rolex that you were taken for if you bought it. Please get your money back if you truly bought it and work with us to get a genuine Rolex Watch. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I really hope this was a gift. I hate to think someone spent some hard earned money on this. Not to mention that is one ugly watch.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the input. I actually bought this for like $20 in Shenzhen China.

I thought that I had seen an add somewhere showing this watch... so I thougt that Rolex had made this model at some point. it is a nice design, the movement works, but the detail of the jewels is extremely poor.

I was hoping that rolex did make a model, because I would consider purchasing a REAL one.

anywho.. I must say, for $20 someone somewhere worked hard to get this movement working... and the watch looks nice...(IMO)

thanks for the heads up guys.

here are a few more pics showing the (lack there of) attention to detail.
