Something looks a bit wrong here overall

up2nogood · 1 April 2014, 05:29 AM

It's not a Rolex. I do hope you can get a refund.

The polishing cloth you have in the last pic looks off - get the watch checked by an official Rolex dealer quickly mate

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:32 AM

I'm not sure but it was bought for me by my girlfriend... She also thinks the box looks different as her dad's watches box didn't look the same. I will have to ask her tomorrow where it's from.

I think best think I can do is take it back... I'm not really happy with it

Psmith · 1 April 2014, 05:33 AM

I would return it for a full refund

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:34 AM

Thanks guys..

Noonan · 1 April 2014, 05:36 AM

It's a fake. And I'm pretty sure you already know this. Nice plastic wrap around the bracelet.

Tridor · 1 April 2014, 05:36 AM

I have doubts about the authenticity. The paperwork alone is wrong ... if you bought it from an an authorized Rolex dealer, it would have come with different written materials.

anothernewphone · 1 April 2014, 05:37 AM

Is your girlfriend in a position to spend $9000+ on a watch as a gift?

mannyv11 · 1 April 2014, 05:39 AM

I don't think it is a legit watch. Hopefully you can get your money back!

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:39 AM

It may well be a fake that's why I signed up for some help but I'll be giving it back and suing the shop if that's the case.

Rashid.bk · 1 April 2014, 05:39 AM

Hmmm, I can't understand why you would pay "top dollar" to a source you do not trust, but it is done, so now the watch.
The leather wallet isn't really leather, and Rolex packaging isn't the among the best but I'd be more concerned about the watch.

Looks to be an M or V serial from the dial but pictures aren't really good. those are a couple years old now and would require special circumstances to still be BNIB at a dealer. While this isn't a big deal, what is interesting is that the watch doesn't have any factory stickers(from the pictures shown) on it so I doubt it was new.
The pearl looks wrong, and so do the end links, but it could just be the pictures.
Post better pictures.
As far as the clasp goes, a screw should not be coming out but it is possible if someone tampered with it. The writing should be clear, thin and black, doesn't look right, but again need better pics.

I would return it and deal with a real Rolex authorized AD.

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:39 AM

My gf can afford to buy this yes.

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:45 AM

Will try get some clear pics now

Noonan · 1 April 2014, 05:46 AM

Clearer pics won't make the watch real or fix a broken clasp.

zsolt · 1 April 2014, 05:48 AM

that's a fake rolex

^Don't bother with better pics. Just return that watch, it isn't authentic. I was being polite in my assessment.

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:53 AM

...

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 05:54 AM

..

Noonan · 1 April 2014, 05:55 AM

Look at that end-link fitting...

Better pics; still a fake watch.

Yes to all of the above.........OP if you are in Swansea UK you would get a 2 year warranty on a card different to that shown if from an official UK Authorised Dealer.

So was I ............think this thread needs to be moved to its rightful place

Steboyi · 1 April 2014, 06:00 AM

Yes will be returning thanks again for clearing this up

Flieger1 · 1 April 2014, 06:00 AM

I'm a cynic and I could be wrong but looks to me like you know it's a replica. Your girlfriend bought that for you, and your sketchy in details? Sure buddy. I reckon your just trying to see if your replica is passable before you try and sell it to someone.

You could never sue the shop.

I know two dealers in Swansea. Which one sold this?

I must say that I read "Is my fake Rolex fake?" between the lines but then I thought, you never know. Perhaps a Rolex dealer has turned bad.

... but not really.

At least most people will remove the "Hey, look at me; I'm a fake!" plastic wrap from the bracelet before posting up pics.
