I have a feeling OP made up this false story about knife trading and just wanted to know if his replica can pass as the real deal among his group of knife friends.

No need to open the caseback, the 18k stamp is a dead giveaway. Flush it down the toilet.

That is EXACTLY why we rarely give reasons here for counterfeit watches.

I'm not the smartest cookie in the batch, but I don't think I'd try to trade a fake Rolex to people with REAL knives

the fonts

look at how terrible the fonts are...they are so crooked!! oddly that seems to be one of the easiest ways to tell fakes, i think.

I believe you are incorrect and overly paranoid in this case.

Then why are you posting in this thread? Just to complain?

And what exactly do you think the point of a discussion forum is if not to educate and discuss issues in the world of Rolex?
