Dial font looks off. Doesn't align like mine or the attached official pic.

Yes, this one is definitely questionable. I can see the alignment differences, especially with the word 'Milgauss'. I am sure there are some dial variations over the years. Also, the seconds hand extends midway into the minute hash-marks. Lets see if anyone else will weigh in.

I'm going with fake, after comparing the pictures online of known authentic and counterfeit models. The one in question is pretty sloppy in the details.

It should be noted that often the "official" photos of Rolex watches are sometimes cobbled together in Photoshop and don't always accurately reflect every detail of the actual watches.

This has been noted before by astute members of TRF.

This one has me stumped. I'll let some one else report it if they are sure.

GradyPhilpott · 13 September 2013, 04:37 AM

I didn't notice the link before, so I think that I was wrong about the watch being fake, but since there's an element of doubt, I'll just retract my previous statement.

That GV was gen 99.9% sure

There are two GV dials and those are them above. However, the orange markers look too vivid. See the GV page at rolex.com for the dial wording differences (top and bottom of the page).

Difficult to say from that pic, but nothing really screams fake at me.
