The super fakes are too good to tell from pictures. Only the very obvious fakes can be confirmed on the forum.

You need to take extreme caution when buying these, the old saying is buy the seller not the watch.

Try to get it independently certified. If you're buying remotely from a private buyer be prepared to lose that money before going ahead blind.

Thanks for your feedback! My only concern is that the watch could probably be good, but I don't know the quadrant.

So you suggest going directly to a Rolex official shop to check it there? Do they do this kind of service?

Do you know how much it costs to go into an official Rolex shop and ask for authenticity? do you know if all of them they do it?

I think I said get it independent authentication. Not sure why you need to go off on one of independent can mean a number of various options

I asked my local AD to do an authenticity check, they do repairs onsite and are listed as an RSC. They told me just to ask for a service estimate. The service estimate will have them open up the watch and check the parts. They won’t work on a watch that has any non-Rolex parts. I got an estimate back in about 3 days. It is a free estimate.
