Hello so what are the best ways to determine if your Rolex is real? Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. I am including pictures that I received from the seller.

can you get some clearer pics of the hallmarks on the case and band, the bezel is not original dial also is aftermarket or fake, please get the band reference numbers also and we can check that also corresponds. i reserve judgment until better photos are provided injudeging the case and band

Runfortime · 25 September 2013, 10:20 PM

Thank you for your reply though hard to tell the band had 92908 stamped on it. I will ask for more pictures of the inside of the case thanks for the help

crowncollection · 25 September 2013, 10:43 PM

Correct reference number for the band what year is it, we still need to check the clasp stampings and hallmarks on the band and case.

It's an N serial and I am waiting for the pictures I will send them as soon as I receive

Is it stainless or gold? Different watches in different pictures?

trumpedaces · 26 September 2013, 12:58 AM

oh myyyyy

Runfortime · 26 September 2013, 01:26 AM

Its the same watch in all the pictures and it is 18k gold. Maybe the lighting gives the illusion that it looks different. I know the dial is aftermarket, but how does the watch look from your guys expertise? I am getting better pictures taken and will post as soon as I have them. Thanks for all the help!

Runfortime · 26 September 2013, 01:28 AM

The bezel is also aftermarket, I will be getting this changed if I purchase the watch

Lgear080 · 26 September 2013, 03:32 AM

I'd stay away from a watch with a fake dial and bezel.
In addition I've recently seen some generic yellow gold
Cases with hallmarks. I also have issues with the end links.
Pass.

dysondiver · 26 September 2013, 03:36 AM

buy the seller

trumpedaces · 26 September 2013, 03:56 AM

IMHO I'd pass. The thing looks like a wreck. Do you not like any of the stylings Rolex offers now?

Runfortime · 26 September 2013, 03:58 AM

I have seen other 90's 18k submariner with the same end links, I am going to get the watch checked out by a dealer before I buy thanks for all the help
