It looks real to me!

You could post a picture and/or bring it to a Rolex AD.

The best way would be to post a pic so we can see it.

send it to RSC for a service. If they send it back and refuse to touch it then its aftermarket. Or you could post pics.

Is that Rolex even a genuine one? The dial looks craphouse and the date is not even centered.

considering the dial, best guess is the entire watch is now in question. I can't think of any logical reason anyone would put a dial like that on a real Rolex.

A reputable shop that (knowingly) sells a Rolex with a fake dial? Not sure if the two go together.

Not trying to be a jerk - simply being honest, but there may be more than just the dial that is questionable about that watch.

Yep I'd be taking it back to them to clarify a few things. Mainly the dial and why on earth the Date is skewed to the left that badly.

I dont think any Rolex certified watchamaker would allow it to be aligned like that. And if an independent did it I'd be questioning the workmanship on the entire watch.

Nothing looks correct from the dial side, not dial, not date window, nor cyclops!!

OP: Post the paperwork!

I don't know if its real or fake, but something doesn't add up to me with this watch. I would take it back and get my money back.
