Is this a real Sub?

I just recieved a text from someone because they know I am looking for a nice used Rolex.

From the pictures, is this real or a fake?

The price is what is scaring me because its so cheap

That has just about every fake item you can possibly fit into a single watch...even an LEC you can see from space.

That's the biggest, largest and most pronounced LEC from the distance of the camera I've ever seen.

In a genuine modern Rolex, the crystal is laser etched inside of the sapphire, at the edge of the crystal. It is difficult to detect with the naked eye. It must be viewed at an angle with a light of some sort and possibly through a loupe. Stick around. You will learn a lot from these guys. They know their s**t.
