Can someone authenticate oyster Perpetual

Bought oyster perpetual from private party and just seeing if it was legit or not

Let's see what the fake experts have to say, however the time to authenticate was before the purchase.

Is it just me or are the 3 o'clock markers not the same size as the 9 o'clock markers?

[Onikage]

There are some extremely close duds of these. I'm not liking that endlink to lug fitment. Someone with greater knowledge might be able to tell you more. I wouldn't touch it unless it came from somewhere reputable myself.

I also think it’s too late...

Would love to hear what the experts say.

Congrats OP for this glorious first post! I hope it all turns well for you.

I'm really no expert, but just some observations:

1. The 3 o'clock marker does seem very slightly shorter than the 9 o'clock marker, but this might be some sort of optical trick.
2. Looking at my two Rolexes, particularly my Air King, the wording 'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' seems to be in a taller, narrower font than I would expect but, again, I'm no expert in this.
3. For what it's worth the endlink to lug fitment looks identical to my (fully authenticated) Air King.
4. What papers (if any) came with it? A full set of papers matching the serial number on the watch would be good.

Nice looking watch - hope you find it is genuine and enjoy wearing it.

Stan.

To answer your question: Yes, RSC can provide you with a service estimate that will detail the cost of service and the need to replace any aftermarket parts. You can always decline the service. But, having us highlight the ‘fake’ aspects of the watch only helps the manufacturers of fake watches, which you may be. That’s against TRF policies.

And TRF is not an authentication service.

Get your money back, and then ask if it's real.

It looks good to me. If you have doubts. You could compare it to the best fakes out there and other Genuine examples. Remember a real Rolex will always be almost perfect and fakes always have a dead give away. For me its the Crown on the 12 position. The fakes can never seem to perfect it.

And rehaut crown is slightly of so fake in my opinion.

The pictures are low quality- but from these I'd say it's fine and yeah, you should have verified first. This is an EASY watch to clone- the band has been off the watch or the fit would be better. I'd take it in and have the pins changed out and get it fitted the way it's supposed to be. If it's fake, they won't touch it and you're screwed....

[SDREW22]

No way to tell by pictures anymore. Pay 20 bucks to have a certified watchmaker authentic this.

The watch in the pictures is fine. However, they are clearly the pics the seller used in the C24 listing. If you can confirm 100% that the watch you got was the one in the pics, then fine. Otherwise, there is no way to give you an accurate opinion/assessment unless you post pics of the actual watch you received.
