Is this 16220 Real?!

I am planning on buying my first rolex and need some help authenticating this rolex as I have no idea how to figure out whether it is fake or not! I really appreciate all the help guys.

Welcome to TRF,

Would you, by any chance, have any bigger pictures? I don't know about others but it is literally impossible for me to judge that watch with those thumbnails!

Those pictures are kinda on the small side. I can't tell one way or the other.

More pix

Sorry guys here are more pictures. Let me know if these work! And thanks for your help. This is a series x made in 1991. It does not come with box/paperwork. Would I be able to attain them? Also, what would you guys say this is worth?

I blew up one of your shots, but it wasn't much help.

Sorry.

Ah! There you go!

It looks good to me but I would definitely have it authenticated. As for the price, I think it is a bit too much (I'll have to agree with Mon ans his estimation).

Yes, that is the CL link. I read the rules, but thought I wasn't able to put any links on the forum. Yes I was planning on taking it to a jewelry store to get it verified but wanted to get everyone's opinion on pricing. Am I able to get a certificate of authenticity?

As stated previously, price seems high to me. I agree with MonBK.
