Authenticity help...
Hello all. Looking for some detailed help in checking the authenticity of this watch. It is a Day-Date 36 in 18K white gold (allegedly). Thoughts on year?Real or Fake?
Please list the reasons exactly. The more information the better. Thank you so much. |

Looks fake to me. Nothing real about it.

Ok. I know the Cyclops is clearly not a 2.5x magnification. The fact that the DAY cuts in to the roman numeral outline seems off too. Anything else?
The dial is peeling in the center and the letters on "perpetual" are fading. Seems bad. It belongs to someone I know and with the Rolex knowledge I have acquired here and since becoming an owner, this did not set right with me. I took a pic to research. I fear the worst with this one. |

Yet another bad fake. And, no, I can't tell you how I know; but spotting fakes has been a hobby of mine for quite awhile, and I'm confident in my conclusion as to this particular watch.

If David confirms its fake ("PASS") its fake.
