Is this watch real or fake?

Hey everyone,

I was looking at this watch and i was wondering if this is real or fake?

It just looks a little off to me and i figured i would ask on this forum.

It is a Rolex 116234.

Thanks for any and all input.

Clearly fake, as is the box! Note the dial indices / text, crown, wide bezel etc.

Who and what, then, is "Watch Authenticator?"

Tell us, OP, who is selling this watch and where?

Thankyou.

Thanks everyone for the prompt replies, i greatly appreciate all your input. The watch is on Ebay, of course haha. As far as the "appraisal" paper shown in the picture, I am not sure where he claims he got it "appraised" at. Probably one old google images appraisal. Thanks alot for the imput!!!

Yep, garbage. Found listed here on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/302666322071

I zapped it right quick as there is less than 20 min before the auction ends (and bids up to $3600+).

Hopefully it will be removed ASAP, but if not, please report it as well.
