Authenticity Check Rolex GMT

Looking at buying this. Date magnification and bezel look a bit off though...any idea?

I figured as much...it's from a site predominantly selling used high end clothing. In the seller's defense it was his dad's and he has good feedback over a period of time on the site so I suspect he didn't know. He was willing to meet at a jeweler to verify authenticity.

You can tell right away by looking at the fake Rolex leather card holder and fake Rolex hologram reg tag. You don't even need to look at the watch to know that its fake.

Strange
I think it may be genuine.
Dirty but real.
Would need better dial photo to confirm, but I am swaying to real.

Real or fake, the pictures are so bad that it's just not worth pursuing, in my humble judgement.

Should be papers not a card if older than 2007. Not real familiar with GMT models but what year are they claiming it to be? Either way it does not look authentic. I would stay away.

Interesting the whole lot, hang tag, rolex card, etc. all look BAD as well as the bezel which looks worse.
Seller may not know is unauthentic, but I would not gamble on.

That's such a bad fake that if you need help identifying that then I suggest you only buy from an AD...

Interesting cards look off but watch looks real i don’t think they make fakes that good I think it’s real 90% of fakes don’t have that four digit stamp code

That is not even a half decent fake; it’s dreadful. I fear how some would cope if faced with some of the better counterfeits.

corradobrit to the naked eye it looks real the cards look fake I THINK it’s real. Bezel is off but this is a older model. If the seller says he’s willing to meet at a jeweler juut have them open the back up of the watch up that way they can tell! BUT personally if you’re having doubts don’t do it just buy from Rolex themselves but that’s a f**ing Pepsi to say the least

Sorry, really thought you were kidding. Clearly you weren't. Lets see, date wheel, end links, indices. All fake. Oh and hand stack. I'm sure there are a bunch of other issues I haven't mentioned. And thats before we even get under the hood.

Just because a seller is offering to take it to a jeweler doesn't make it real. Delusion is widespread as are fake Rolex inherited from Grandad's estate.

Please don't act delusional. The watch is fake as a 3 dollar bill. It is worthless junk and should be smashed with a hammer into pieces.

That date wheel isn’t centered and the hand stack looks wrong in those pictures. Fake I think.
