Same guy who was selling the fake red sub I posted earlier.

So, is it real? it seems to have a lot of detail that I would not expect from a fake. the name Rolex is on the winding, as well as between the lugs. Seem like a lot of work for a fake. Could someone point out to me what makes this watch a fake. I'm just trying to learn. Thank you.

Most good fakes have the traits you described above. It's just that this seller has sold fakes before, I busted him once for selling that Red Sub, and the truth is that there are fakes out there that would fool even the extreme Rolex expert.

Here are some links that will show you how a fake Rolex differs from the real McCoy:

Thanks, I just think its fun, and what started it was my first "Rolex", a fake LV Sub. I didn't know until I researched ID'ing fakes, and into the garbage it went. Just trying to pull my weight on the forums.
