He spends a lot more time on his disclaimers in order to cya than he does describing the the watch. A bad sign.

More like a wreck. But after seeing that Rolex script I would say that it is as authentic as a 36.27 dollars bill.

Fake as a 3 dollar bill. There is silver base metal visible where the gold has worn off, the back is all silver, the fonts are all wrong, and so on, and so on.....

It seems fake to me. Wording on dial all wrong and the links look funny. Fake or not, it is in terrible condition.

Looks like it's been dug out from a graveyard indeed. The bracelets are fading-clearly gold plated instead of solid gold. Owner might be selling Rolls Royce with a hyundai engine I guess.

FAKE FAKE FAKE


The print on the dial is the first give away two tones of black paint not on a real Rolex never! second those so called diamonds scream I am fake. Official Rolex dials have better stone quality. Third the band, the mounts on the band crap! The watch back does not look right. More Sleaze bay garbage! Thanks for the fun I enjoy these from time to time.

One of the WORST fakes I have ever seen:

- Gold "paint" (doesn't even look like gold PLATE) is worn off
- Font is all wrong: ROLEX + DAY-DATE in bold writing but not the rest
- Non solid end links
- Clasp (innerside) all wrong

I dought this guy is a scumbag, did you read the auction? He states he has no idea if it is real. It looks as if he has no idea what a rolex should look like. He does not sell watches and his feedback is great.

An old fake.

Remember, there have been 10+ fake Rolexes produced for every 1 genuine, for the last 40+ years. That means there's a lot of fake old pieces of shiite out there.

He and the nephew could simply go to an AD and figure things out, rather than write a bunch of disclaimers and try to cheat someone.

The deceased dealt cocaine out of a 1985 Cadillac with a Rolls Royce grille.
