Real or fake?
Hello all, I was at an estate sale and bought a beautiful jewelry box. Loaded it in my car, when I got home I noticed part of the jewerly box had popped out - a “secret compartment” that wasn’t there before. A beautiful “Rolex” was in a tiny box. I took it to a watch place today and they said if it was fake, it would be the best “fake” they have seen in person, but couldn’t say if it was real or fake… and it’s older.. and they have only worked with newer fakes. Rolex doesn’t open until tomorrow.
It is a brick style band with the Rolex crown, P11, steelinox, 62523H18 then the Rolex name in the middle. The clock face is black and says submariner 1000/T=300m |

Anybody can attach a photo as long as it meets the size limits.

They said they don’t deal with Rolexes so that’s that. Anyways the Certified Rolex place opens up tomorrow. Still can’t figure out how to upload photos.

My family never hides a Rolex in any secret compartments. They're so boring!
