These posts make me scared to purchase a Rolex, it’s really a question of buying the seller imo when it comes to Rolex. At least for a non expert (me).
Fake from me. Look st the end link fitament ontop of everything else. It’s my usual go to on rolex... real has insanely tight tolerances
This is up on the Bay, ending soon. Low feedback seller. I've sent him a few messages and he SEEMS genuine. The watch has B&P, and looks OK, but.. I've done a pretty extensive Google image search and, on every single one, the word "Date" on the second line is well to the right of the "X" of Rolex above it. This isn't. Alarm bells ringing. Advise appreciated guys...
The trick that i've always heard, but not sure how legit it is these days, is the magnification of the cyclops. A genuine rolex cyclops will magnify the date window to fill almost the entire cyclops eye, vs all aftermarket ones are of significantly less magnification. In this case it doesn't prove the watch is fake, but sure points to an aftermarket crystal at least. But that, along with the issue with the dial, would have me steering clear.
*edit*
I vote for definitely fake - look at the hand stack. The GMT hand should be in the middle, and on the OP's watch it is clearly on the bottom.
