I need help on my watch please.

I have recently revived a Rolex submariner. I hope ahha. I am struggling to decide if it's a replica or not. My mum and dad both have them and they are undecided on the authenticity of mine. I've been told if I take it to the roles ship and they find out it's fake they could destroy so I don't want to risk that so is their any ways to determine if it's real at home? I've done some checks I got off google and they all match up. But still not sure. Any help will be much appreciated. If pictures would help let me know.
Cheers

If it matches up with Google it's probably real!

I think it could be real. I also think it may be a fake.

Think about it, both his mom and dad have Subs and they can't tell the difference and on top of that he has Googled it.

How can it be fake after such a thorough investigation?

If he read it in the Internet it must be true. I think??
OP, post some pictures of the watch and let the professionals take over. Good, clear, pictures.
