Authenticity help...
Hello all. Looking for some detailed help in checking the authenticity of this watch. It is a Day-Date 36 in 18K white gold (allegedly). Thoughts on year?Real or Fake?

Please list the reasons exactly.

The more information the better.

Thank you so much.

You will not get the "reasons exactly" because it is against forum rules.
But someone who knows DD's will chime in soon whether real or fake.

Edit:Even I can tell this one is a big fugazi fakeroo.

Ok. I know the Cyclops is clearly not a 2.5x magnification. The fact that the DAY cuts in to the roman numeral outline seems off too. Anything else?
The dial is peeling in the center and the letters on "perpetual" are fading. Seems bad. It belongs to someone I know and with the Rolex knowledge I have acquired here and since becoming an owner, this did not set right with me. I took a pic to research. I fear the worst with this one.

DD's are solid 18k gold or platinum. I would imagine the gold models are 200 grams or more on a digital scale. Bet that one is either pot metal or cheap stainless and is light as a feather.

Yet another bad fake. And, no, I can't tell you how I know; but spotting fakes has been a hobby of mine for quite awhile, and I'm confident in my conclusion as to this particular watch.

Older presidents are in the 120-140g range.

This one assuredly is not.

If David confirms its fake ("PASS") its fake.
