Icon20 I need help to figure out if my rolex is real

Hi everyone,
-I was given a watch by a relative who sadly passed away it turned out to be a Rolex for years I never touched it, I waited until I was old enough now that I am I decided to start wearing the watch, I just cant seem to find out how old it is and I cant seem to find the watch it self on the internet maybe someone who knows more could help me here is as much detail as I can give-

The Watch itself
- Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Official Certified Cosmograph

- On the back it has engraved Winner Rolex AD Daytona 1992 24

- You can just about see the rolex sign on the glass located at 6oclock

- On the Bracelet it has 93250 engraved

- I lost the Clasp but On the flipside of where the watch closes it says Rolex - RolexA - Geneve - swiss made - 18k. Most of it is in fancy writing

- On the Lugs at the 12oclock position in the inside it says - ORIG ROLEX DESIGN 18241

- On the Lugs at the 6oclock position in the inside it says - STAINLESS STEEL F136892.

Thank you for your time everyone

Fake. Even if it was one of the extremely rare 24 hours of Daytona winners awarded to someone it would be in stainless steel, not 18k.

[QUOTE=Moheeb;4207397]Hi everyone,
Could someone help me distinguish if this watch is a real or fake thank you.

The Watch itself
- Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Official Certified Cosmograph

- The bracelet of the watch doesn't really weigh much at all but the actual watch weighs a lot.

- The white lines instead of using numbers on the dial glow in the dark.

- On the back it has says Winner Rolex AD Daytona 1992 24 it isn't engraved its smooth.

- You can faintly see the Rolex crown located at the 6oclock if in the correct lighting and angle as well.

- On the Bracelet it has 93250 engraved

- I lost the Clasp but On the flipside of where the watch closes it says Rolex - RolexA - Geneve - swiss made - 18k. Most of it is in fancy writing

- On the Lugs at the 12oclock position in the inside it says - ORIG ROLEX DESIGN 18241

- On the Lugs at the 6oclock position in the inside it says - STAINLESS STEEL F136892.

If their are any questions you would like to ask please ask freely.
Thank you for your time everyone.

Hi Everyone I'm just going to cut to the chase I was wondering if someone could help determine if this is a real or fake.

-Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified Cosomograph.

- Lugs 12oclock engraved ORIG ROLEX DESIGN 18241

- Lugs 6oclock engraved STAINLESS STEEL F136892

- The white lines instead of numeric used on dials glow in the dark

- On the back of the watch it says WINNER ROLEX AD DAYTONA 1992 24 smooth. (not engraved I wrote that wrong in my previous post)

- All the writing on the watch is clear and crisp, the Rolex crown has 3d like ball effects on it in the dial

- The bracelet code is 93250 which is engraved.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask thank you

Not sure what the OP is trying to prove with another wall of text. We said it's fake. Post pictures if you want further confirmation of this not more text.
