Icon20 Help!!!

I need a little help with my watch folks. I had a gift last night and it was a Rolex watch. below are the photos. It's a heavy yellow-gold-like rolex watch. It has 18K engraved at a small part behind it. Can this be a real Rolex? How do I know it's a real one? And how much will it sell for? Thanks. looking forward to hear from all of you. Have a nice day.

100% replica. Fluted bezel too wide, "hidden clasp" not well hidden. Bracelet/case proportions incorrect, crown too big. Sorry buddy.

You'd better hope the pawnbroker is really shortsighted. Good luck.

What are you going to do with the five bucks you get for it?

This watch is as fake as the story provided. If it was Truly given to you, it was meant as an insult.

No details needed to explain further..horrendous.

+1

Someone was nice enough to give him a very expensive gift but yet he needs the money right away.... Dude, a pack of trident layers is worth more than that. Trying to see if we are "dumb" enough to pass that as authentic to try and sell it is not the smartest idea... Good luck pawning it :)
