Need Help

A friend gave me this watch and it didn't have a box or any papers. Everything seems right with it but I would love a second opinion.

Magnification on date window looks off. I'm sure one of the experts will chime in shortly.

Very difficult to tell from this pic. Since it was free you should take it over to the RSC and get them to give you an estimate for service. This will tell you everything you want to know.

Appears the cubic zirconia at the 6 o'clock position is misaligned, date font looks off, magnification on cyclops is wrong.

I'm not an expert, but I'd say this is not a genuine Rolex.

"Everything seems right with it"

WADR, visit your nearest AD for the list of what's wrong...not going to discuss clear fakes on this section of the forum.

The first thing you should ask yourself.. "Do I have a friend who will give me a 7,000 dollar watch?"

If the answer is "yes", then this friend has taken advantage of you.. If the answer is "no", then you do, indeed, have the correct answer..

Doesn't look right, on the date the numbers usually have a bit of a tail at the end or beggining like it just curves up a bit and ur magnification is a bit off
like too much.
