First of all how much did you pay?


Secondly, I'm sorry to say its definitely a fake


This model Rolex, the "pearlmaster/masterpiece" is only availible in 18k white gold or platinum.

Dial is nasty, font printing is pretty poor, the markings on the clasp are spelt wrong, the crown is wrong. Only $4000 for an 18ct Rolex should have been a big red flag for you too, they go for several times that. If it seems too good to be true...

I'm sorry to hear you paid such an amount for it.


There are a number of ways of telling. The original version of this watch would retail anywhere from £30,000.00 through to around £60,000.00

The font on the dial is not quite right. The bracelet looks cheap and doesn't have the appearance of white gold or platinum. The end links of the bracelet on the underside are completely off and the engraving in the clasp area etc is very shallow and spelling errors. The stones are very bad quality.

I'm sorry...

.........................................
My list will not be complete but where do i begin.
1) Rolex never made a bracelet like that, among other things wrong with that bracelet.
2) The Rolex crown on the dial is wrong shape among other things
3) The magnification on the cyclopse is not 2.5x as it should be.
4) There are other things, these guys will chime in and prob have a list longer than my arm.

Get your money back

This is the genuine platinum version. Quickest photo I could find. There is a massive quality difference...

Woaw! I have only just noticed.. Massive chip out of the crystal/plastic glass. Why did you pay 4,000 for that...

Its fake. Dreadful quality, not through the photos. Just dreadful to the eye.

I can clearly see the chip in pic #1 and pic #5
