Hey everyone. New to the forum. I have a chance to bid on this but I think it is fake. What is your opinion? Many thanks in advance.

If this is real, it looks awful. If this is real, it's a Frankenstein's monster of a watch.

Some things that stick out: Why has the day wheel stopped in the middle, is the movement busted? No "Swiss" on the dial in any shape or form. Diamonds aren't nearly as brilliant as they should be. The lume pips look remarkably good for something that's super old. Day-Dates, to my knowledge, never came in TT cases, full PM only. And the YG on the TT bracelet is rubbing off.

Which begs the question: Why on Earth would you relish in the "chance to bid on this?" This is so wildly fake.

It's the age old saying, if you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.

fake:

gold plating wearing off... (real is pure gold)

cyclops doesn't magnify date

day date is stuck between days (how do fake date dates always break in this exact same way??)

lume plots on dial are garbage

caseback is engraved.

Yeah get it if you like doing this…

yam700 · 11 January 2024, 06:02 AM

Thanks all, just wanted to confirm my thoughts. It is amazing what is out there. It is at $44 right now and I think that is too much lol

yankeeromeo · 11 January 2024, 06:02 AM

On the inside of the bracket the gold isn't gold anymore.

Gold tarnishes but doesn't rub off lol

Way more than necessary.
No such thing as a Rolesor Day Date, as you state towards the end.
The rest is just icing.

Anyone that has to ask if this is real is this is should not be shopping for a used Rolex.
