Explorer II help
Hi all, recently I was gifted a second hand Rolex which is my first and I was very excited about.
I do however have a lot of reservations as to whether it is the genuine article. I would welcome you to take a look at the images attached, photo quality isn’t the best as I don’t have a macro lens but, have done my best. From my very limited knowledge, the crown isn’t right and the rehaut inscription looks off. Also, I believe there should be a model number inscribed between the lugs at 12 o’clock, this you will see is missing. Many thanks in advance for your help. |

The "very limited knowledge" is real, though…

Missing mode Between lugs is reason enough.
Images are also just a little off / distorted. Especially crown guards.

For a fake such as this it only takes a few seconds to see that it just isn't authentic, and you really don't need to zero into any one thing.
I will say that Rolex has not had a 6 digit serial number for many decades.

It's hard to list what is wrong as EVERYTHING is slightly off.
