Rolex Datejust real or fake? Please your opinion
Hi guys,
I bought this watch at Alex Pig in Hong Kong. I was wondering if this watch is real or fake and how I can recognize it. Thank you! http://vernieuwd.marktplaats.nl/a/si...reviousPage=lr |

Welcome to the Forum!
The pictures are not the greatest but appears fine. I recommend you check the reference numbers on the case, model and serial numbers, and see if it matches any documentation provided with the watch (if any). Otherwise, this is good information to have available. |

Looks ok to me, have the insides checked when you receive it.
I suggest posting authenticity q's here before you buy next time. Congrats

No glaring problems detected, but you can't see any band references etc.

Alex pig is normally selling good, original stuff and has a physically existing shop in Hong Kong.

Since your 16014 DateJust has lug holes, just use a small paper clip and push the spring bar in. While pushing in on the spring bar, wiggle the end piece and that end section will pop out.
