Is this Rolex Real?

Hey,
I found this at an estate sale near me. I do not know how much they're asking, and I do only have this one image. Please reply or message me through Instagram if you have any answers for me.

I think this watch is a Rolex Day-Date (bark?) finish

Looks to me like the plating's wearing off on that bracelet. Genuine Rolex bracelets are solid gold, not plated. Also the date display looks wrong. Also the other stuff surrounding it looks chintzy, not the collection of someone who'd have an 1807 lying around. I'd say don't waste gas travelling to see it in person.

I think this is a replica, because of the gold plated bracelet that in the Genuine one is Solid Gold.

Calling a counterfeit a 'replica' is being way too nice!

The corrosion on the bracelet adds a nice touch of age and character to it.

Plus, it's guaranteed to turn your wrist "Rolex green." What's not to love about that?

This is not authentic and the nearest trash can should be located and used.

Gotta love the one time posters with a blatant fake, that return to site after originally posting, and not another word other than original post.
