Is this Rolex real?
Hey everyone, today I have found this ‘Rolex’ but I have no clue if it is real. Apparently it’s quite old but that’s all I know, I doubt it’s real but if anyone could help me out that’d be great.
Thank you,
Juios.

as you are probably aware by now its not all it seems to be, from my side id be interested in seeing the movement, and if your inclined have it opened and share the photos of what the inside looks like.

Do you think that there’s any point in getting it opened ? Like is it definetly a fake one?

I think you can give it the hammer and screwdriver treatment safe in the knowledge. Unless your buddy wants it back. Think of it as humane despatching of a diseased animal.

This has to be the fakest fake Rolex I've seen. I think this one belongs in some sort of Hall of fame/shame.

Hello Juios, on TRF watches are presented for opinion's daily, as we don't discuss what makes it a fake we are limited to retaining images and comparing, knowledge of the outer case and dial fakes is one thing, however to have a image of the movement would perhaps help in the future if coming across such an item again.... from my side I'm here to try and learn more without constantly having to ask, "Is this OK?" I hope this helps to explain my request. Rgds "H"

Personally I wouldn't waste my time opening it up, just type "Rolex DateJust" into Google images and you'll see instantly why everyone is 100% convinced it's fake.

Does it look like a several thousand $ watch to you? Ask yourself that serious question. Then log on to Rolex.com and look at the watches there on the site.
