Icon5 Did I get took?

Represented as real, one of a US-only gold-filled Rolex. I suspect the band is not original. Photos attached. Is the watch real or fake .. or do I need better photos?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you all. Much appreciated.

And to our HK member ("Not took. Nor taken."): "took" in place of "taken" is a midwestern American ruralism, used in a purely colloquial sense. :-)

That's ok, it's also used in various regions of England, too.

Did some more research, learned where to look. Model #1550, serial # says made in 1978. Band states it is Rolex USA, C+I, 79 14K GF.
