Hello from Belgium
hello,
the reason why I have signed in, is because I've some investigation to do. I recently bought 2 Rolex, and some other exclusive watches (Cartier, Breightling, Longines, Philippe Patek, Porsche) in an auction of furniture, jewelry and watches, no papers were included. Some were fake, some not..... The authenticity of the Breightling, the Cartier and the Longines are confirmed. Also the authenticity of the antique furniture. The 2 Philippe Pateks were fake The Breightling was the most easy to identify; it had stamps on it which almost proved to be 18K gold. Few fake watches are made of 18K Gold. Now I'm looking for description of details to verify the authenticity of the 2 Rolex. Description: They both have a twinloc one is a submariner, Gold with blue. year: approx 1990 inscription on the back of the case: 455 B No indication on the back, no "Rolex" and it has a stainless back inscription on the watchband: 78448 Rolex Geneve swiss made Rolexsa 18k 750 -Shield with something that looks like a snake- an upside down crown- Crown on the nr. 2 is a gmt-master year: approx 1990 Stainless steel with gold Black-Gold Only inscription on the back: a crown and "ROLEX" inscription Watchband: stainless steel Are there details to see if these watches are real Rolex? Best regards |

Welcome to the forum. If you post some sharp over all pics + detailed close-ups, the experts here can be helpful spotting anything suspicious.
Just asking for a laundry list of "tells" on potentially fake Rolexes wouldn't be as productive IMHO.

Without seeing them but going by your description = both fakes.

ok... so when I post some detailed pics, one can be capable to say whether they are fake or not?
At this moment I've a little gained on my transaction; the breightling and a little of the furniture was enough for my costs. |

As it now stands (your description) I think it's safe to say that pictures of the casebacks will be enough.
