Rolex 6538 case real or fake?

[Rolexricky]

Hi guys , I would like expert advice on the originality of this case and bracelet please ? Serial number is 330*** 1958 , caseback is stamped IV.1958 and bracelet 4-58 with endlinks 80 and 7206 on bracelet link. I hooe the pictures are clear enough. Thanks

The pictures are not remotely clear enough for an amateur opinion.

I suspect it is fake because it looks too clean and the shape looks wrong but these photos are horrible.

Thats his intention to waste yours and other members time what people will do get attention. must have been unloved as a child.

Despite the really shite images I can tell you that this case is fake.

[Rolexricky]

Apologies it’s the first time I am seeking advice on the Rolex forum and I am using my iPhone to upload images. And I am finding it difficult to give you guys crystal clear images for your best opinion. That’s for the feedback so much appreciated I will upload more pictures a bit later.

[Rolexricky]

Hopefully better pictures for you guys to see.

Wow those are some ansel Adams quality abstract snapshots.
It looks quite fake based on what we have to work with.
Did you buy this watch ? If you have money and means to buy this please find a proper camera and take a couple of good photos so we can help you

[Rolexricky]

Few more pictures of the case.

Came from grandpappy?

Yet another one emerges. What is the point?

[Rolexricky]

I’m very sorry guys I’m using my iPhone and I have to upload pictures in the smallest format, and obviously I’m not doing you guys a favour downloading crappy pictures.

OP, just use this site and upload some large proper IN-FOCUS photos. It’s free
https://postimages.org/

And maybe a few of the dial

Thank you kingface66 for the info . I am new to this , this is my first post and I am struggling to try an authentic this 6538 case. Bits and bobs of the case look good but I have my doubts. I know the case is very clean for a 60 year old watch ( not good sign) , but I have seen others online with clean cases ( in between lugs also) that are genuine going for big bucks.

The dial and bezel insert on the case are aftermarket rubbish and I would not waste anyone’s time getting feedback on those as I have had feedback already ! But mixed feedback on the case it self which is why I have brought my discussion here.

Now I am in the process of downloading these pictures via post images but I need 10 post !? Until this forum will allow me to past my pictures here !? SMH .

This is the strangest set of photos I’ve seen in awhile. It’s akin to asking of this watch: “what do you think of this sub? All original?”

That's any easy one:

* Looks over polished

*Must be Franken

*I don't see Swiss on the dial

*The insert looks weak

*Was the caseback replaced?

*How's the lume?

*Doesn't look like my new 2021 Sub, must be fake

*Also doesn't look like my June 2020 sub

*I've never held a vintage watch, let alone a Rolex, but I'm an expert

*why are there holes in the lugs

[alwayshere]

ok gents - I think the OP gets the point.

Follow what Kingface has suggested.

Those are flip phone type pics, very hard to decipher.

Freshly made. probably last week. Look at the cogs on the case back. Then look at the stamping between the lugs, If it looks new it is new!

Not a chance this is original.

Have to agree, I think the whole setup is relaxed and tasteful

Thanks for the kind words, I’ll be sure to pass them along. I’d like to say I had valuable input in the sitting area, but that would be a 100% lie. To add insult to insult, when I got home one day, the back door frame was being removed from the house so that the movers could get the couch into the house.
