IMO the OP has asked for feedback as to if it is real or not. Members have chimed in with their opinion. Next step for the OP is to find an AD or RSC to confirm its authenticity and asking for more information (and members discussing this information) on why it's a fake is against the rules, as Mon has mentioned.

Problem is by discussing what is wrong on a fake watch actually by default tells people/counterfeiters what should be changed on their fakes, not something any TRF member condones.

I guess you could say this is not a Rolex authentication site.
I'm sure one of the Mods will chime in shortly with the correct protocol.

i am new here as well, just checked the rules and it says this.

6. Any allegation that a watch is a 'fake' must be supported with reason/s otherwise the post will be removed forthwith without notice.

no offense meant to the long-standing members! as i agree with the sentiment that counterfeiters shouldn't benefit from this.

..the Op already believes it to be 'fake' but seeking our/your 'professional' expertise to confirm that.. - - Isn't that what we're here for..??! - to help and assist?
So.. from all who replied.. it is apparent that this isnt 'real' ...!
Which should confirm things for you, zan691 - sorry..!!

The post just doesn't pass the initial sniff test, on many levels.

Unfortunately, that now appears to be a common tactic for scammers. They can/will admit they already have doubts about the authenticity, but just want some opinions to confirm.
Then they will usually ease into the "how can you tell" line of questioning.
