Looks real to me Mon. In fact, I'd love to buy that watch. I can never find that model locally.

That is a ultra rare Rolag..a small batch of watches Rolex and Tag Heuer collaborated on in the 1990's I believe.

It is 10000000 % a Fake. That's the thing. There is zero hope that this is even a frankenrolex nothing about it is Rolex.

I hate to tell you what you already know by now that its not even a good fake. Its really really bad. It doesnt even come close to resembling a real Rolex. To be perfectly honest with you it doesnt even resemble a fake Rolex. Its that bad. If you look at all the Rolex models you will find that yours isnt even close. Sorry. Dont be to bummed you didnt pay anything for it or did you?

That made me laugh out loud..."exists in time and space" does make it "real"!
LOL

Saladdin, the model on the watch reads "Day Date"

Go to Google and search for "Rolex Day Date" and let me know what you see...wait here I'll do it for you:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Rolex+Day+Date

Also, the words Oyster Perpetual means a watch doesn't run on batteries...it is powered by perpetual motion.
