Fake or real rolex?

Hello we'll I bought a rolex at knock off price and id like to know if it's real or fake. I think it's 89% fake but I'll give it a try anyways.

So the strap is of genuine leather and the back is steel or something. It doesn't have any marks or text on it it's just plain simple. The heads that are holding to the strap are also steel and the ring around the watch face is yellow or goldish colour I don't know whether it's gold or not, but it distinguishes itself from the steel colour.

The inner side(face) has the normal writings on it and since it's a day-date it got a day and date viewer. For the daw viewer I haven't felt any problems with jr. But overall the face is just plain yellow I think it is not gold. And above the 5, 6 and 7'o there is something tht says ; superlative chronometer and under that are officially certified.

But the thing with the officially certified text is that it is between the number 5 and 7 digits, meaning it's just behind the 5 and 7o clock digits.

Overall according to my testings which were to shake it, or pulling out the dial, nothing were false, meaning all were according to how the genuine rolex is. I'll upload pics if something seems unclear thanks.

We can't determine anything without clear pix of the dial, case and bracelet.

Yes it is a fake. Sorry. There are very obvious reasons.
Cheers

It's a POS Fake. No such thing as stainless steel DayDate.

It's really bad. On the bright side, they spelled 'Rolex' and 'Thursday' right. So it's got that going for it.
