Charity shop

A mate of mine volunteers at a charity shop and had his bought in. The logo on the clasp looks fake to me but I'm bad at telling fakes without handling. Have never owned a Rolex of this age either so more difficult to compare to my 6 digit explorer and sub!

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks Fake to me. The printing is coming off on the face and the buckle looks all wrong with the rounded edged.

You can't sell a fake in a charity shop, not even for a few quid.
