Daytona...Fake or Original?

My friend has Rolex Daytona that has a green hologram with reflex in the back.Does that ensure that it's original?

How could a bit of sticky paper or a paper hologram prove that any watch was genuine.

Nope. I have seen many fake Rolex in China that all have rather convincing looking stickers. There are a number of different methods that can tip you off to a watches authenticity, but in the final analysis the only true test is to look at the movement. However, that also assumes that you in fact can discern a "real" movement from a fake. Just saying Rolex on the movement proves nothing.
