Hoping I got a great deal on eBay. Not seeing anything blatantly wrong but I'm not the expert. Pictures attached.

Update. For the movement, time adjusts moving the stem backwards. At the date click it changes the date moving forward

wirelessdog · 12 August 2016, 03:02 AM

Numbers on the case clearly looked etched. Did they start doing that in later years or do I have a decent fake?

jjlawyer · 12 August 2016, 03:07 AM

Obvious counterfeit.

offrdmania · 12 August 2016, 03:49 AM

Case markings look very suspect. Opening the caseback should put your suspicions to rest

Etschell · 12 August 2016, 04:26 AM

its a fake.

That's what I was thinking. Is that even a maxi dial? Seems a lot of these LV threads "real or fake" popping up lately.

Hope you did not pay too much for that.

It's not that great a deal if you get scammed.

I have never seen a bracelet reference number stamped on a link. That goes for ANY Rolex.

Actually lots of the models are stamped on the last link, starting back in the 50's, I believe.

Great deal if it was real. Not so much since its a fake. No, I didn't spend $50 on it :-p $3500

Between my brother and I, we have had over 14 Rolexes dating from early 2000's to now. One of those, which I still have, is a D serial 16610LV. Nothing I have ever owned or looked at has been stamped on the link like that. I would love to see examples of real Rolexes that do. Not saying they don't exist, just that I've never seen one in person. Even the 1967 5513 Sub at my local AD isn't stamped on the bracelet. I'm sure there are plenty of people here with vintage that could offer a picture.

That should have tipped you off.

Wow. Yeah that should definitely tip you off. I think even a "beat up" LV would command more than that.

BTW OP, google the sn of your watch F437091. That should help you get your refund.
