Fake?

Firstly the guy selling this was in my opinion pricing it way too low, gave me ‘ the ex bought it me and current girlfriend wants me to get rid asap’ but despite me pointing him in the direction of most dealerships offering him more than what he was asking, he kept reducing it i
In an effort to get me to buy, which just seemed wrong to me.

I must admit that I thought it looked genuine, but then spotted the warranty papers were only for 12 months.
What do you think, from the supplied photos?

He even offered to accompany me to a Rolex dealership to confirm it was genuine, but I had my doubts from the start.

This kind of missalignment would never happen on a genuine SDDS.

This isn’t even a good fake. You’ve been here 3 years, I’m honestly kind of surprised you thought this was genuine lol

If you have to ask, you shouldn’t be buying watches on your own.

The full year warranty booklet and the date window have me cracking up over here and the gaps in the bracelet are just horrendous.

Putting the watch aside those papers don’t even belong to that watch. There’s so much info available on the internet I’m surprised people still ask for confirmation here without doing some basic research. There’s a lot is experts on here that are happy to help those in genuine need of assistance but coming to this section without even a little groundwork is just pure lazy imo. Sorry to have a dig op but you’ve been here long enough to know better.
