Is it Authentic??
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing this Rolex. Can anyone please advise if they think it is a fake? It appears to be legit, but I'm not seasoned like many of you. If it is a fake, please let me know your reasoning. The seller claims to have purchased this watch from "ZP Watches" with an invoice and current warranty until 12/2012.

At the very least, the dial smells aftermarket to me. The crown guards also appear to be too small and too pointed. But I'm not an expert.

I've seen this pic before, if memory serves me right the consensus was: FAKE.
Welcome to the forum. Funny how the pic was ten to obscure the date and the NGOs just right to block the crown gurds. As far as the dial...never seen a certi like that. The whole size of the case seems small too.

Pretty sure this is fake. The depth of the rehaut is off, dial is definitely fake. No SS sub had a certi dial? And this isn't a Rolex certi dial.

Fake. Crown guards off, date window doesn't fill cyclops, and many more things.
