Learning: is this fake/legit?



I see things in the dial, bezel font quality/precision, dial font, cyclops, and a few others that look questionable just in this one pic). I am trying to get better at spotting fakes or real ones. :) Just looking to learn, even though this is a legit watch for sale online right now.

Thanks!

Gladiator - in case you're responding to me, I didn't mean this is a "legit real" watch, or "legit fake" watch, I was just saying it's an actual watch that is for sale currently. I am honestly not able to tell if it's fake or real (novice). Or were you asking what's fake to CorradoBrit?

Thanks your explanation
I was confused if your posts photo was showing a "genuine" piece.

Personally, I can not tell if that watch is genuine or fake from that one dial photo. If you post or PM me a link to the site, I can confirm it easily
Thanks again
Adam

Gladiator - sure...I'm not interested in this watch, but I was just trying to learn about fake/real watches and how often they are on the market. This current watch is on Bob's Watches.

Check it out and tell me what you think. :)

Watch is fine. It looks different because it's a (smaller) ladies model.

As I suspected this is GENUINE - really was not sure how anyone could claim "fake" from your 1st photo.

Watch is genuine.
Thanks again

And in this case it’s a 29 mm version for ladies. That was the first (and still only) ladies sports model if you agree the Oyster Perpetual isn’t a sports model.

It would be a very strange model to fake as they are not at all popular.

Correct, the one in the link is the 29mm - now discontinued by Rolex

Eeks, I wouldn't want any Rolex called the Yacht-Mistress... :) Either way, this 29mm is too small for my taste, I prefer the mid-sized Yacht-Master.

Then call it a Yacht-Lady whatever size you buy

Or Yacht-Princess
Or Yacht-Duchess
Or Yacht-Majesty
Or Yacht-Baroness

"Yacht-Majesty" sounds the best out of your ideas...haha. I like things to stay original and classic though - Yacht-Master it is!!!

Here's mine...

Ah, beautiful.

But now you must update your bio...no longer searching for your first Rolex, right?

Thank you! :)

And ah, yes! You're very right...I need to update that. Also, is there a way I can remove my WTB post in the classifieds so I don't get private messages anymore about watches? Haha...

Ah okay, I already did that (just in case). Just didn't know if there was another way or something!
