I see nothing that can make me say it's a fake. But sometimes fakes are very realistics.
Based on your pictures it seems OK, but to avoid any doubt maybe the best way is to find a Rolex AD and ask him to open the watch and confirm (or not). |

As aquanaut said, why not just take it to an AD, and have them look at it. One glance will be all they need to confirm or deny authenticity. Good luck.

100% right Greg!
In fact, the previous alias of this 'user' (I'd like to politely say fakester), was rolexresearch.....How's that for coincidence?!?!? The watch is fake, as is the poster! https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=226719 These goons are only posting here to see how well they can pass a fake to the legitimate members who appreciate the REAL thing!! Be aware......Very aware~

Took it to an AD and he said it was perfect.. the font and space is different because the Ceramic bezel (newer model).
Feel a million times better. Thank you to those who have been helpful, i am truly just a new owner concerned that his fiance got the right watch. |

He didnt take the case back off because he said the warranty would void if i took it off with him. It was at a tourneau i work in NYC not uncommon for someone to walk there and get an opinion if your office is actually less than a block away. Thanks again everyone

You know what? I still say it's fake, but like Mosco suggested, I'm not helping him out any more.

I have a new ceramic sub, and going not from a single picture but all of them, I have found enough anomalies to satisfy my overall sense that this clearly is a fake. Some of the differences are actually quite noticeable once you actually center on them, so go back and review/compare. Best done with a real one in hand. You'll come to the same conclusion, and then all of the attitude and fluff of the OP will fall into place as being the crock that it is.

God I love it!!
I'm learning some amazing lessons on this forum! I realise its a fine line between verifying the good from the dogs and essentially providing a public service, but at the same time not showing your whole hand on all the clues and tips as to how the experts here know its a fake...... |

I'm impressed. Not by the OP but you guys that can spot a fake so easily. I own that watch (real from AD) and the first pic looked funky but I wasn't sure. But looking at the fonts and spacing is a giveaway. However Rolex has been known to change the font and spacing on some models such as the DSSD. So you never know. I have owned at least 20 Rolex's and I like to think I can spot a fake but who knows. Glad to see the OP banned.

U know what's funny is, when he was rolexresearch and was told to take it to an AD he said he could do that, but they want $150 and needed it for a week...and was curious if that was normal...then as this guy it took him 15 min to get it authenticated....
