Hello,

My dad passed away around 6 years ago, and he always worn his rolex watch for years tbh I don't know for how long exactly I'm sure it wasn't even a super expensive one, but it was his first so i think he was proud of it, He had a really great job that paid really well before he passed so I knew he could afford a really nice watch if he wanted too, I never really paid much attention to watches, I'm the type of person who thinks the Apple watch is cool :p but I recently went through a couple of his stuff and Saw the rolex he used to wear, and I found another one which I never saw him wear before, Its a Rolex Submariner.

what I need help with is if the watch is real or not? I don't really know i looked at photos it looks the same, but I don't know what to look out for, the watch also has some corrosion under the glass, so that kinda makes me think its not real, I shook it around a bit, and it started to tick again, but it has stopped again, But sorry to bore you with the story above, Here are the pictures

I have a feeling it might be fake, but even if so, I can make it tick for a minute or so but it will stop, how would i make it work properly and get the watch face under the glass cleaned? I'd still like to wear it, would fool a lot of people i bet.

Breitling on the case back? Just when you think you've seen it all...........

Furbo · 30 June 2015, 08:36 AM

Fake and it won't fool anyone.

I nearly pissed in my pants and frankly, at my age, a regular occurrence but if I must piss in my pants, much more enjoyable to do it while reading posts like these.
Off to dry myself.

Definitely fake

zama · 1 July 2015, 09:28 PM

The case back may be real.......... OK I will be quiet now.

mbuckley · 2 July 2015, 02:59 AM

that breitling on the back is a big clue

I hope the other Rolex owned by your father did not have that as well.

hunterp27 · 2 July 2015, 03:14 AM

the double secret behind the curtain partnership between Breitling and Rolex that spawned this one-off special watch.........i could go on, but it's fiction like the story leading up to it.

It's not a real BREITLING case back either.

Callummcs · 5 July 2015, 04:38 PM

Oh man do you have any idea what you have here? Haven't you read about the super special one off, one of a kind collaboration that Rolex & Breitling did? The rust isn't actually rust, it is the ground up particles of a meteorite, that's why it is so rare!

Expect a lot of PMs with offers to buy it mate. You are set to become very wealthy if you decide to sell it.

Just kidding mate! It is a horrible, horrible fake and it should be binned immediately. It won't fool anyone, not even Stevie Wonder
