The "STATNLESS STEEL" designation, terribly drawn letters that spell "ROLEX," and the very incorrect caramel-colored dial markers (among other things) tell the tale — not genuine.

Just a comment on the dial marker color. Patina color of this shade from a tritium era dial does not indicate that the dial is incorrect.

Let’s just look at a glaring issue — the word “ROLEX.” Here’s how it appears in the watch posted here:
Notice the blocky/squarish interior of the R. Rolex would never mistreat their nameplate this way. Similarly, look at how the upper-interior of the O is markedly larger than the lower-interior as well as how the right and left sides aren’t symmetrical. Now look at the base of the L, no narration needed here. Compare that with a genuine example: screenshot 2019-06-09 at 5.45.39 pm.jpg ( source: https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/subma...-id7450927.htm ) |

Now, for the benefit of the doubt, let’s say that perhaps this is a genuine watch with a poorly refinished dial. In that case we’ll need to examine something that would NEVER be refinished — like, for example, the tiny engraving between the lugs. Here’s the way “ORIG ROLEX DESIGN” appears here, again focusing on the central word: IMG_0905.jpg In this case there’s a lot wrong, but let’s call out just two obvious tells: 1) The O in ROLEX is spectacularly irregular. 2) You can see artifacts of unskilled engraving. Note the top-right of the R where the glint of metal (that would tear a test piece of onion-skin paper) catches the light. Same with the inner-left side of the O. Compare this with a genuine example whose unmistakable consistency across every letter shines: IMG_0904.jpg (source page: http://www.drsd.com/more-info/regist...n-vs-orig.html ) (source image: http://www.drsd.com/_Media/d2x3162_med_hr.jpeg ) |

Back to the dial. Note how the crown on a genuine 16610LN dial is perfection — even across the top, even indented “teeth” across the bottom, perfect spacing between the crown “jewels” above: 16610ln.jpg (source image: https://www.markworthingtonjewellers...old-stock.html ) Compare with the watch posted here: 16610ln_incorrect.jpg |

If that's real that's the worst "ROLEX" print I've seen on a genuine dial. I'm surprised to read the comments saying it's clearly genuine...guys, just compare that print job to your own watches, look at that "R"!!!

The word "ROLEX" is hellacious.

oh my gosh, the S in "Submariner" looks like a backwards Z it's so flat!! Unless it's distortion of the photo.

Doesn't the markings on the inside of the case look too "new" for this vintage? also not sure about that movement being period correct... definitely suspect.

Watch is fine. Engravings are correct.
Dial font is nothing more than a worn plate from the pad printer. |

Movement Genuine, Dial Genuine.
I think the hands are newer replacement. Case is mighty interesting, seems very poor print compared to more modern Rolex's, but inside case perfect. And serial number (L) dates to 1998-1990 and bracelet I think is O5 or April 1990 So all ties up My verdict - is genuine BUT after market/replacement hands? I have seen a lot of older pieces with poor engraving between lugs Adam

The two views upstairs are the same as those of the people in my area who have recognized Rolex as more professional. The disk seems to be one of the factories named lemrich. Thank you for your positive comments.
