Need help identifying fake

Hello! I received this watch back in 2002-2003 from my ex husband. I don't know where he bought it or how much he paid for it. I have no knowledge on these beautiful watches so any help would be much appreciated! Thank you

Hmm, well I guess I can't post links or pictures. I uploaded 3 close up images to imgur....

If he paid more than $5 he was ripped off.

Two Things...

First, "Need help identifying fake"? Sounds Like The Verdict Was Already In.

Second, Why do they Insist on Stamping "18K" On A Steel Bracelet?

Just Wondering!

Lmao yes

Also thank you Jay_1964 for getting those photos up. I wasnt able to post links or pictures since I have under 10 posts.

I never wore this thing because it looked unfinished. He insisted it was real hence the title of this thread. Thank you all for the input!

A Genuine Rolex Will NEVER, I Repeat NEVER Look "Unfinished".

Unless it is damaged, or a "Banged Up" daily worn example, a Genuine Rolex will appear to be as Perfect As Anything Ever Created By The Hands Of Man.
