Genuine or fake?? PLEASE Help me out

Hey everyone, i just wanted to get your advice on whether or not you believe this Rolex I found to be real or fake( the seller apparently has all the certificates but doesn't have the receipt ) ,, I'm really not too sure as I don't think this watch came with a black dial . Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I am no expert, but everything I see points to a replica watch and not a genuine Rolex.

I’m by no means an expert but even to me this is a fake!
The bezel, the hands, the writing and even the glass look fake to me

But again I’m by no means an expert!

As I mentioned in the other thread, everything here points to a replica and not a genuine Rolex.

Thanks for the response guys! There's a guy down here in Aus trying to sell a yacht master 2 with that black face. The watch he has for sale is "iced out" to the extent that you can only see the dial ( he has the receipt from jewellers for the work). So that's why I wanted to tell if there was ever this dial produced because if this is as you say this morons. Dropped a lot of money on this fake.

If you want a Rolex and don't have the requisite expertise to spot a fake (not to disparage anyone as a lot of the time, fakes can be pretty darn good), your best bet is to go to the AD and buy a new one. Second best is one of the trusted sellers listed here. Private sales are the wild west as far as I'm concerned. Lots of really good guys, lots of bad guys, and it is tough to tell the difference.

I realized what I didn't know and went to an AD.

Even if the outside looks right, who knows what is inside the case? Unless someone is like the amazingly knowledgeable people on this site, it is easy to be taken advantage of by the unscrupulous or, to be a bit more charitable, those that are unknowingly passing along a fake they innocently bought and believe to be genuine.

Fake, move on. Please post the contact information of the seller here so another chap doesn't get dooped into purchasing this.

Is this a scam? Need help please

Thanks for the response guys! Really appreciate it. Just out of curiosity is that even a Rolex dial colour? Or is every aspect of that colour combination wrong

For you, I would suggest you buy nowhere other than an AD.
If you are even questioning this watch you're setting yourself up for failure. Run..

It's a 100% absolute authentic replica made Japan Swiss movement - may you enjoin it for the next 4 months until it disintegrates into thin air.

Ask the seller about the bridge that he wants to sell to you. Cheap.
