Does it look real?

Hello!


This is my first post on this forum, so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. Last night I bought a watch online listed as "rolex watch" somebody bought as a gift and didn't want, apparently. Although serial things stand out a bit. First, I could not find the exact watch online, I found very very similar, but never the exact style matching the golden color. Second, the face looks a little... odd to me. Look at the crown in the 12 o'clock area and the cyclops. I apologize the picture isn't clean. Third, it has a green sticker stamped "R•LEXR•LEXR•LEX" all across it with a 3D golden crown and "ROLEX 16233" in the middle on the back. I found one similar, it was a vintage sticker though. Can anybody tell me if it looks real from these pictures?






P.S. Those are not my fignernails.

it's not real, it has 18k stamped on a steel case for one, two it is not a 16233 so wrong sticker also, three the dial font/spacing and date are incorrect and low mag on the date via the cyclops

DOES IT LOOK REAL???? Wow it has been a while since I've seen one of these stories on here. I'm not saying this is true, but I feel like you know your watch is fake already. With that said, I feel you are on here to see if it will pass as a real Rolex. Just my honest opinion. Also, we aren't here to tell you what's wrong with it. Believe me, the whole watch you have picture doesn't even scream prestige like a real Rolex does. You can just tell when you have a real in front of you and when you have a fake... A fake in all it's its glory is always still fake. Now generally speaking a two tone Rolex costs well over $10,000, that being said, Does your "Rolex" in front of you scream $10,000???!!!! I think Not!!

So he got it as gift, and didn't even take the Replica Plastic off of the replica bracelet t try it on?

Hope you didn't pay to much for the watch pictured.
