All you need to do is research. It takes time, and there's no shortcuts - spending time on this forum will show you just how fake that watch is. It's never been produced by Rolex, or we would have plenty of them here. Check out the sales section, where there are tons of hi-res photos of real watches, from reputable dealers. From there, you'll get a great idea of what real watches look like, and how much they cost.

The refinished dial involved writing Rolex on it. I'm not even sure you call it counterfeit. It's about as convincing as this,

Listen Dakilac,
That watch you posted is nowhere near a Rolex. I don't wanna be snarky or cruel or try to show you up, because it appears you are coming here to genuinely learn. That's a good thing and there is no better place on the Interfizzle to educate yourself on all things Rolex. Even the most "watch illiterate" are welcome here. Just try to have thick skin in the early going because it's just like any other place/forum and sometimes people aren't patient and wanna snipe at folks and show they are smart or funny. Overall though, its a terrific place with great people who are willing to help. Here's one small piece of advice that will take you a long ways: if there's a topic or a question you have, use the search feature first to dig up old threads. There's hardly a topic or question you can come up with that hasn't already been explored in depth and you don't wanna invite criticism by asking a question that's already been discussed ad nauseam. You can read for days here about wonderful and insightful stuff. However, if you cannot find what you are looking for, fire away and people will help. Have fun and prepare to learn. I suggest you save the pictures of this first Rolex you posted and you will look back in time and giggle at how fake that watch is. We all started somewhere. Luckily, my dad bought his first OP the year I was born and I was around Rolex from the jump. I took an interest as a kid and have collected and continue to learn to this day. I used to never contribute here........only read. Now I feel confident enough to chip in from time to time.
