Definitely fake, and OP’s response makes me skeptical that he might possibly know the maker

Maybe OP is the maker and getting feedback from us to perfect the replica?

I really don’t understand this sentiment on forums about fakes, the idea the fakers post up pics to see if a few self appointed (and I mean that in the nicest way) experts can tell if it’s a fake is ludicrous. Sorry but it just makes me laugh when I see people saying things like... “We don’t disclose what makes it fake as we don’t want to help the fakers” “The faker is posting to see if he can get it past experts” Do people seriously think the fakers need our help to know what’s wrong? They make the darn things and no doubt have a real one to hand. The reason they can’t get things right is because they don’t use the same materials, tooling and craftsmen, not because “Dave on TRF neglected to point out the issues” I think the only things these comments would serve for is a laugh to the fakers sat there wearing their real Rolex. |

Yes, they seeking the balance between low production expensenses and visible attributes of fake, and forums- their focus-group for free

As with everything, there are varying grades of parts and so freelancers mix and match trying to get the best combination of parts to make a better "replica." I don't think that all those who do this have actual watches to compare to and have to rely on pictures and the opinions of others to get feedback. There are whole forums out there that discuss all these issues and where people brag about the quality of their "replicas." As for the OP, who knows what his motivation is, but the fact is he has a fake and all the phony background stories and fuzzy pictures won't change that.

And I would add, save yourself the risk and likely grief by limiting your search to ADs and trusted sellers here on trf. These watches are expensive. Why take a risk when the trusted sellers are so thoroughly vetted here. |

No it does not guarantee its fake, but it raises the suspicion to look further? Adam

Laser etched crown at "6" looks bad to me.
How much you paid for it? The lack of basic info like price and box/papers is pretty fishy to me. It looks like you bought a ~$300-500 fake and you're trying to check if it looks good for people in the business |

However, my BLNR has it - the three that I've viewed in Rolex boutiques have it as well, seems to be almost the norm for BLNR |
