Authenticating a Rolex

I'm hoping someone can help me here, I have searched everywhere. I did see that rolex did not use Japanese movement on their quartz watches, I also do not have the tools to take off the bands.
Any clarification or thoughts are appreciated

It's a fake, and not a very good one at that. Sorry.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

Sorry for the OP's disappointment.

I mean, if you're going to produce something like this, at least try to make it look like something that actually exists. This isn't even close to anything.

Sorry OP it's not correct.

Welcome here and t.r.f. well found too, and let's be honest if it's not your hobby you won't know that much about something, and you're right to ask the experts here whom are probably as knowledgeable as 99% of employees at Rolex!

For example, I don't have any knowledge of furniture whatsoever (I have terrible cheap tat that I'm slightly ashamed about tbh). So if a Boca do Lobo House clearance piece was presented to me I'd probably stupidly offer $50 for a $50k sofa!

In contrast, if a Linn LP 12 turntable though was offered, I'd be on the money, as it's another of my (daft and far too many perhaps) interests.
