Hey guys!
i am a new member @ rolex forums and i just wanna know if you guys can help me out with my misson. I have seen a watch here in sweden at a site and i just wanna know if anyone of you guys that are skilled can see the different between a real and a fake. I know its hard 2 tell on a picture maybe but if you can just tell me what you think it would be gr8

Many thanks Addy

Hard to really tell with that pic, aside from needing a cleaning, it appears OK.

Addy, what is the listed model number?

wantonebad · 12 June 2009, 09:29 AM

That box isn't right for an LV and the bracelet looks odd to me but you'd need to take clearer pictures for anyone to say for sure

It has the Oval "O" in Rolex so it appears to be one of the earlier LV's released, so that box may be close to period correct.

LV's are faked a lot under the model no.116610. You should really post this in the WatchOut! section.

Agree. I had purchased a NIB NOS Y serial from a seller on TZ and it has the old box. It also has the oval O but I had to return it because that watch was losing 5 min daily.....

I am not saying that it is indeed the correct box, but it if the LV is an early example, it does increase it's chances. Regardless, we need more pics of the watch & bracelet.

isn't it that the LV has a fatter minute hand like the YM?

SDDS · 12 June 2009, 01:40 PM

i cant tell i need more pics...

Watchdog · 12 June 2009, 01:45 PM

I HAVE TO HAVE MORE PICS IF YOU WANT ME TO DISCERN IF THIS IS A LEGITIMATE ROLEX!

Oh, heck, who am I kidding . . . You could post 5,000 pictures and I wouldn't know the difference.

Fortunately, the good folks here--the experts--will be able to help you.

Best of luck!

Boxes are supplied by the AD and maybe one AD has more older boxes as well.
But if this is Y-serial, it likely came with the older box. Early F-Serials can come in either. But there is not a definite rule to follow.

What looks wrong to me are the dot markers they look to large. That dial isn't right.

They look okay. It is the maxi dial after all. Here's a link to one that is for sale, the lume markers do appear correct...

Yea I guess your right

argee1977 · 12 June 2009, 05:40 PM

Looks fine to me for an actual anniversary edition, by that i mean a 2004 model, it has the wider 'O', comes in the older style box and has the lighter coloured green bezel, i can't really spot anything wrong with it from that picture.

But to really tell if it's fake or not we'd need some better pictures.

Addy · 12 June 2009, 10:46 PM

Ty alot for very nice comments i have sent a message to the owner and asked for more pictures and the model is bought 2002 so the box might be older i dont really know :)

Many thanks Addy!
