Another Mall Rolex

Another Mall Rolex

I'm not interested in buying this one but there are a few things that came up as a red flag. Especially the date window not actually magnifying the date.
What do you guys think. This is the best photo I could take.

was it a kiosk? Like where they sell all the discount sunglasses and next to where all those people try to hand you free samples of soap?

Try it on, and think about it over a nice lunch at the food court.

I'd say it was safe to say it is certified pre-owned.
...but, certified Rolex?

It looks beat all to crap even if it is real, and I have a bias against anyone that labels something "certified" like that. To me that's an indication that the seller thinks I'm an idiot before he's even had a chance to meet me and certify that observation.

Who certified it? Looks like a possible frankenwatch scenario.

This is why I probably won’t buy a secondhand watch again – I can’t tell the difference from that photo.

Obviously if I had a genuine same model side by side, I may have a chance – but even then, apparently some of them are getting visually very close.

This is the "right-lug-is fatter" Model... It may go for a premium.

I think no one can judge just by those photos; that's what I think.

Okeedokee.
It’s a horrible attempt at a fake.

The fit of the end links between lugs is sloppy, so much so, you can see the spring bar. The cyclops magnification is off. Based on these two pics I would say fake.

What's a Mall Rolex?

If that's an example, then we have a sub-forum for that...it's called "Watch Out."
