Sub in the papers. Real or fake?

Did a double take skimming my local newspaper today.

Just to be sure was this at one time from the Rolex factory or O.J. Simpson's jeweler?

Not necessarily fake.

Can be a genuine YG Sub, (non or) original bezel and a President bracelet.

Why not ?

Looks gen... cyclops mag looks good. If you check out the end links it makes since that they don't fit since the bracelet wasn't made for that watch head.

I think Simpson deliberately wore a fake after he found out Fred Goldman was coming after it. I seriously doubt someone like OJ, especially before the murders, would wear a fake Rolex. A man known for wearing Bruno Magli shoes? I doubt it.

Looks real, but definitely franken.
