It looks real and brand new or recently Rolex serviced to me.
Why are you having any doubts? Is this your first Rolex? Robert |

Try and see if the cyclops has an AR coating. That's the easiest way to tell IMO

It looks good to me. If it was a reputable seller I would suggest it is real.
As for AR coating on the cyclops, I think that is very recent and maybe just on the Datejusts. The experts may chime in here or you could try a search on the forum for it. The only reliable way if you don't trust the seller is to have a Watchmaker remove the case back and check it out. Robert |

Hi grew,
The cyclop seems to be clear. I could not see any AR coating (the greenish purple tint like in camera lens). Here, I tried to take a close up pic of it   . |

there is not supposed to be any AR on the cyclops. There is nothing about the appearance of this watch to suggest it is anything but genuine. This is a very difficult watch to counterfeit given the unique properties that the platinum dial and bezel insert have, but you simply cannot get a conclusive answer based upon pictures.

Thank you ... thank you alll for sparing your expertise to help me look at this watch. I bought the YM used from an AD and does not have box/paper, I felt that I needed you all experts to help validate. I am soo GLAD to hear that it has "passed" your validation   thank you again! |
