Haven't seen one of these for a while...

.... the case back stickers that were placed over the hologram on watches for the Japanese market. Seems to me we used to get inquiries about them every few months or so, asking if they were real. Yep, they are.

Don't want to overstep my boundaries, but that doesn't look like a real watch - and I'm not talking about the caseback sticker.... See where the bracelet connects to the case? Well, there is some off-set and space between there which is not present on any Rolex.... Again, I'm not sure, but I guess I'm just thinking out loud.

It's real alright.

Here's the explanation...

Actually, they're the solid end links which were standard on all Sea Dweller models after the 1665 series.

I stand corrected.. BTW, I wasn't arguing the sticker isn't real or that Rolex does not put stickers on the caseback like that. It's just that I see replica's that have the same stickers of course to try to show authenticity.

I was merely looking at the details of the watch...

It's fine. That's what mine looks like from that angle.
