2 calendars, real or fake?
Hi guys,
These 2 calendars have come in my possession (as Rolex stuff does, you all know), but they are quite different in appearance although both dated 1981. So my question is, can they both be real? Or is one or both fakes? I look forward to hear your comments, please let me know the “tells” My own observations: Left is has more saturated colors at least om the map side Right has “tear-off” marks on top on the short sides Best regards, Martin from Denmark |

The crown looks off center in the one on the right.

These cards have been counterfeited before?

Look at a lot of 1982 calendars. Almost all of them have variations in the "ROLEX" location on the map. Some have it closer to Spain, some ON Spain, some way to the left some to the right. Both of these look OK

I always thought these were printed in-country or at least regionally, rather than shipped from from one master printer in Switzerland... Sent from my cracked, broken hand wound phone. IG @morning_tundra |

I don't see any issues based on the photos.
