Authentic or Not

Hi, I like to search for nice things on offer up mobile app. I normally find good things and nice ppl. But I ran past the ladies rolex datejust for $800 wanted to know if anyone can tell if it's real or not based on the only pic posted.

While I'm no expert, the crown isn't pressed in fully, there's no date in the cyclops (though that could be angle), and the picture as a whole isn't clear, which could be a sign that it's a fake they want to pass off as real. That being said, I've seen older, real men's datejust models going for $1,800.

It could well be real. Not enough info to tell either way with certainty. From what I can see I'm inclined to believe it is real.

Not an expert, but the case and crown proportions look off. Price does too.

Can't tell for sure from this one Low res pic, but leaning towards no. Problems is see:
1. Coronet looks too flat
2. Endlinks are gapped
3. Crown is sketchy
4. The bezel looks machined instead of fluted. Didn't think rolex machined Precious Metals

Here is photo from an eBay auction which looks better for (1) coronet, (2) end links, and (4) bezel.
