This example is most easily identified as a watch to avoid. Insert is fake, dial looks wrong, endlinks look aftermarket, etc.
It's always fun to judge this stuff with low-res photos. No one ever posts clear shots of bad watches. |

Still looks like a bunch of aftermarket parts. The crystal doesn't look correct at all.
Who knows what's inside. The outside is only part of the story. Avoid. |

Why?
By looking at it. Who is the seller? What is the price of this "thing"?

Well, it does say ROLEX on the dial. That's gotta count for something.

Why are fakes a taboo subject on the forum?

TRF is a Forum for the discussion of Rolex watches. If you, or anybody, wants to discuss replicas, there are plenty of sites around on the subject. Such discussions usually degrade to non-productive rants.

The insert is fake, the dial is a replacement; the seller is being dishonest and so this example is fatally flawed.

Thanks. I’ve got no interest in discussing the topic. I was just wondering why it was such a big deal. I’m amazed this thread made it 22 posts long.

Why? Movement will be genuine.
Bezel & Dial we know is aftermarket What looks fake?
