Too good to be true?
Hello everyone, first post and an amateur with Rolex.
I've come across a listing and I just want the forum's opinion on whether they think this Rolex - which is listed at significantly below market value - is authentic or genuine, going by the photos below. Unfortunately I'm not able to view or inspect it in person at the moment. Nonetheless, please share your thoughts right off the bat from seeing the photos (I appreciate they are not the best quality).

Thank you!

Lol, wow this is probably the worst I've ever seen here. I can't believe someone is trying to pass this off as real.

If you are confused that's real or fake then you are not ready to purchase a Rolex yet! Spend more time with the brand and watches before thinking of buying a Rolex!

If you still want to buy above watch, offer the seller $5 and buy it!

Possibly. It might actually be YAGMT-MASTER.

This is not the $5 Canal Street Special. This is the free sample given away by the $5 Canal Street sellers.

Naturally it was my first thought that it's a fake and I'll take the small digs. We all start somewhere.

Since you admitted that you are a newb with watches, if you desire a Rolex, you need to purchase one from a verified and trusted seller.

There is a saying in the WIS community, "Buy the seller" - Which means you need to be selective on whom you are doing business with.

WIS means "Watch Idiot Savant" btw.

Good luck!
