Do you need the money? for me wearing it will give me more pleasure than the cash I'm getting for it. Never sell a discontinued Rolex model, especially the Hulk. This doesn't apply for every discontinued Rolex model of course only a few, upgraded movement, etc does't apply like the AK, Explorer II, etc.

When I first saw it, that’s the first thing I thought. It doesn’t look right to me. It looks fake. It looks like a real bad fake to me, but it’s not a good picture either, so that could be why.

I'm not certain it's fake; hard to tell from the poor initial photo. Lighting accounts for a lot of the differences. I do find the propensity of some on the forum to jump to the F word every chance they get to be disconcerting however.

It’s 100% fake. And a very bad and cheap one! Look at the indices how they are finished poorly plus that minute hand is enormous!

Yes it is a terrible photo, but, for example, look at the hour indices on the dial.

The fact that few can apparently spot warning signs should be more disconcerting to you. It's not even a great fake.

As far as jumping to the F word at every chance, really ?
Just how frequently does this happen outside of "Watchout" ? Pretty much never.

The OP obviously has a camera and the internet, so I would imagine is well capable of posting better, clearer pictures with a handwritten note telling us doubters where to go. I'll happily eat crow pie when he does that.

Apparently, the OP has a Batman. If it’s fake (I think it is from the lack of good pictures and flimsy defense) it should be clear to him. A side by side should settle it for everyone, which he likely won’t do.

The thing about internet communication is that it can sometimes be hard to determine if someone is trolling or if they legitimately believe a claim that others may not or if their intent is potentially even nefarious.

There are some clear indicators in that picture that suggest this may not be an authentic Rolex. Multiple very experienced Members have noted this (as you can see), and, in most cases, I would expect the reaction from someone told this to be one of great concern. Your reaction to this has been very different so far.

Regardless, if you legitimately believe this watch is authentic and you are not trolling and you do not have any ill intent, it is highly advisable that you post a few better pictures and potentially get a watchmaker to examine/verify the authenticity of that watch.

If OP was not posting this fake on purpose he would have at least posted other clearer pictures. Just a troll.

Buy Something You WILL Wear?

If there is another model you would wear more frequently, sell this one and get the one you will wear, Yes?
