Real or fake submariner date test

Hi do u think the image of the Rolex submariner date is real?

My friend claims its a new version with glide lock lol

But the lume looks a bit off? Not sure but my gut feeling says it might not be real

LOL, there is not much one could tell from that photo, regarding authenticity. How about posting a close up of the watch with normal lighting conditions?

so you are asking the experts here to authenticate a rolex based purely on a shot taken in pitch black with only the lume visible?

HMMMMMM? not sure if you are trolling or serious?

if trollng then lol!
if serious.... then you will not receive anyone on the planet that will confirm this for you without special magic powers...

sorry but put up pics of the actual watch if you want it identified as genuine or fake.. if not you wont find out anything from creating this post

Absolutely not able to tell you anything from the photo except this: out of focus.

Zack, we could tell better if you held a flashlight so that it cast a shadow on the wall.
That is a surefire way of determining genuine.
