No expert but personally I have never seen such a watch.
It looks like it had some sort of pvd coating on the case which I'm pretty sure Rolex have never produced.
Companies such as Bamford do take standard Rolex watches and customise them with things like pvd coatings but they tend to be very expensive so I'm sure the seller would advertise it as such if it was a genuine Bamford watch - and of course the price would reflect that.
My advice would be if you have any doubts whatsoever, stay away.

My apologies for my earlier post - I genuinely did not know such a watch existed.

They (not Rolex) made 86, one piece for each year of his like.

I suspect they made anything from 10 to 10,000 depending on how many gullible people bought them.

But they are FAKE

The original ones werent made by Rolex to my understanding... i saw one pop up in my local classifieds a few months ago which led me to do a bit of research on them..... a genuine one sold at Christies Auctions for approx $42000usd which lead me to believe the the one advertised was a fake.
After googling the production number i found they were all the same number 18/86 for the fakes........

Similar to me.
Therefore surprised David did not say outright fake.

"Looks fake" implies to me anyway, that there is a possibility it's genuine, but that would be impossible if Rooex never made a model like this.

No it's a custom phenomenon that made someone a lot of money lol but many fakes of these also put their. I don't really have interest in these as it's not original Rolex eitherway imho

Thanks David
That makes sense, ans what I know.
I am not even convinced it has a Rolex movement in the original custom pieces.
I think all are FAKES
