Is this a fake?? Oyster Perpetual DateJust

This Rolex has been in the drawer for a really long time but we're not sure whether or not it's authentic..
The end of the band says REGISTERED SWISSMADE D12 STEELINOX 62523H.18 although it's a little faded

On the backside it says 18K 0.45 455B

The dial says ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST.. SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED

Here are some pictures that could help


Appreciate all the help guys.

watches "found in the drawer" are almost always fake. You would be surprised at how often that theme comes up. Second only to "my grandfathers watch"

Fake. Sorry if you're the lady it was bought for. There's a lot of Mr. BSs around.

It's great that the community is here to help and all, but I just wish guys who clearly know nothing of Rolex stopped deal hunting like the OP. This guy asked, which is good, but how many others buy without asking and end up with a fake like this one.

Newbies, please stop looking for a deal and go through a good seller. Stop using craigslist!

Rolexs in the "drawer for a long time" are always fake, just use your head. Who would put a watch worth thousands $ in a drawer and "forget" about it.

Just as bad as people who see Rolexs/designer bags etc. on online marketplaces for $100 and asking "is it genuine", annoys the hell out of me the stupidity/naivety of some people...
