Real or Fake - help

Hi everyone

I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this. I've been reading a lot about how to tell a fake, but i just can't seem to apply the knowledge to this watch.

Happy to take more pictures if it isn't obvious from these ones.

Thanks in advance.

It’s very fake... like a fake of a fake.

Typical fake green sticker, and bad lumes and cyclops.

On TRF the goal is to teach and learn what an authentic Rolex looks, feels, and operates like, not what counterfeits look like.

Knowledge is power and the key to spotting non-authentic examples.

In this case, practically every part of this watch is wrong and easily spotted.
