For Real?
Just spotted this on the Facebook Market Place, seller asks people to get in touch to discuss.
I for one have never seen the sticker that is on the face before.
Is this a new thing from Rolex, or an out and out fake ?

Not to mention that “maxi case” looks like a sky dweller lug* more than a gmt

I was actually enquiring about the sticker more than the authenticity of the watch as I have never seen one on any Rolex anywhere .

So some people have seen them around then?

If the watch is fake, why would you trust the guy with a “real” sticker ?

Whoever said I did?

As for the asking price he didn’t publish it, merely asking people to private message him.

Another giveaway to it being a fake.

Okay I admit you didn’t say that.

What I’m saying is, if the watch is fake, why are you concerned about the sticker? I wouldn’t trust this guy with the watch or sticker.

I have no intention of trusting the guy, I was just trying to ascertain if Rolex do use the sticker on new watches...

Rolex doesn’t use that sticker, never have and never will. That sticker is a “JF” it’s a cheap Chinese factory that produces fake watches. I had one come across the bench quite a while ago when the guy stated he bought it from a gentlemen’s that claimed it’s real.

Google JF FACTORY and you will see more examples. Stay far far away.

I haven’t seen that sticker before, but I’ve only bought two watches, so I don’t know for sure

I messaged him saying I sincerely hope that you don’t believe this watch is genuine, because it isn’t.
And pointed out what you just did.
