I see four suspicious details. Anybody else have an opinion?

jay_kay · 2 April 2018, 06:40 PM

I can't see anything wrong with that!

Need far better pictures on this. The hands covering the ‘EXPLORER’ text are a warning sign though as are the wrong booklets. The explorer text is what we need to see, it’s a dead giveaway. These are one of the best fakes Rolex’s out there.

Wrong hands

Shouldn't the 3, 6 and 9 have lume pots? Or is that only the later model explorer?

The Rolex Explorer 214270 released in 2010 had white gold numbers and short hands, this changed in 2016 to lumed numbers and larger hands

The rehaut engraving doesn't look spot on, but could be cam angle. I'd def be suspicious if I couldn't hold it.

1. Rehaut engraving is wayy off
2. Font under ROLEX looks off
3. Box ROLEX font looks off

I can't see too much wrong with the watch , but photos are not great

It looks good but pictures can't tell the whole story. Handle it and see how it feels. EDIT: ** Ok so the price on Ebay (I followed your link) is ridiculously low for this reference ($2600). Red flag. Red flag. Red flag. I would NOT buy this on Ebay. ***

After comparing this watch to my AD-purchased long minute-hand 39mm explorer I and comparing it to high quality pics of short minute-hand 39mm explorer Is, I've decided that Rolex made slight changes when they updated the watch to the long minute-hand version. The second hand, the dial font quality and spacing, and the wrong-model booklet for this particular watch raise questions, but I don't see evidence that justifies reporting the auction to ebay.

Thanks to those who offered comments.

This is one of the best faked models - no complications or date - so passes all physical tests

I noted 3 issues so I reported it
