Is my Rolex real or fake?

Please help, I am trying to find out if I got scammed or not.

In the back, it has engraved the following:
-Geneve swiss made
-on the top the Rolex sign
-then it has 18k on top of 750
-two set ofnumbers that appear to be serial number. one of them is 8570

Note: this is a Submariner Rolex, I am not sure if this is real or not

Don't forget there is a Rolex Gallery on the forum with a lot of pictures of many pieces out there. Definitely want to study and learn about the watch before jumping in so there is no doubt once you finally make the purchase that it is genuine. Always want to ensure you know it is real before buying so you're not out a lot of money and are left holding a paperweight.

Sorry for the bad post, I am still learning the whole forum :)

I am fixing to purchase this watch and I wanted to know if I would get scammed if I did so.

Can you try the second link from my first post? it shows me that it works. if not, any ideas on how to post pictures here?

Regarding the engraving - "In the back". Do you mean on the case back?

If so:

You need to upload your pics or post them to photobucket and provide links.. If you're worried it's a fake, then it probably is.

It must be from the "genuine" fake watch place from the other post.

From the backside it looks off. If you posted some pics of the front it would be better. Where did you buy the watch?
