I don't know guys hold on a sec, take a look at the movement! I have heard about this white plastic before, I think this might be a new ref. Rolex is putting out in 2009!

I'm sorry to Joke Kentucky, Maybe stick around the site and educate yourself on the ins and outs of Rolex. TRF is a great resource for information. There is a lot to be learned. You will be able to spot a real one from a city block away.

sorry to break the news kentucky...hope it doesnt stir things up with the person who gave it to you.

kentucky rolex!!!! · 10 December 2008, 12:52 PM

well i know it is a very nice watch in person its alot more shiner and brilliant, but i never had a clue that it could of been fake. yea it kinda does make me upset about who got it for me but they might have been fooled to because dont think they know anything about watches either.

moby33 · 10 December 2008, 12:58 PM

I hate to correct you guys...but that's a 100% authentic, honest to god real-deal Folex!!!

Its really very hard to know vintage watches..some of them are so rare that its the first time people see it...

asadtiger · 10 December 2008, 12:56 PM

hey Kentucky I feel sorry but the importance of a present is not in its price and especially the giver might not know, so it has a sentimental value..a very good friend once went to China and brought me a fake as a gift and told me so..I really treasured it and am still sad how I lost it on a beach trip..but I loved it a lot..hope this helps.

kentucky rolex!!!! · 10 December 2008, 01:03 PM

thanks fellas like i said im new to all this and yea it was a gift and its the thought that counts i really like it its a very nice watch for someone who doesnt know it looks good!

Well as long as you like it thats all that matters:)

However just to let you know, i would not pretend the watch is waterproof or water resistent to that effect, just to let you know. :)

You could always have it checked if you want.

It may look nice to you but typically these fakes don't last long. And they are never worth fixing. The one you have is a very low level fake. Look at the lume (white portion) of the 12 o'clock hour marker - the inverted triangle. Do you see how it is not centered properly - kinda like turned? You never see that with the real Rolex.

I hope no one paid a lot of money for that watch. They typically sell for 20 dollars in Chinatown and you can usually talk them down.

I guess you'll be changing your forum name from "Kentucky Rolex" to

You can also usually tell its fake by the weight of it. The low level fakes always feel really light compared to a real Rolex.

Jason Seahorn · 10 December 2008, 01:49 PM

Yeah exactly someone shut down this post please.

If Yachty, Explorer II, and Submariner had a kid - that is what it would look like.

Cato · 10 December 2008, 01:50 PM

If anything it's a really old fake.

tudorman8276 · 10 December 2008, 02:04 PM

...hope you did not pay more than a buck....BEFORE the $.99 REBATE and FREE shipping.

...FAKEAMOONDooooooo.

...HOWEVER, it is the THOUGHT of the gift that counts!!

How do you figure????

That's like asking out a girl who's not into you who thinks she's doing you a favour by going out with you on a dinner-date so as not to hurt your feelings, but then when you drop her off after the date, she goes over to your best friends house and has sex with him!

I am... a little... concerned....

JJ Irani · 10 December 2008, 04:42 PM

That is a very poor fake.....just about everything about the watch is wrong!!

SubDiver · 10 December 2008, 02:07 PM

Yikes, that's a pretty bad fake. It looks like a few different watches pieced together. I hope whoever gave that to you spent no more than $10 on it.
