Gulp!
Disposing it could be a health hazard.
I would not go near it.
In other words it is not a real thing.

Compare pics of this watch and a genuine one and see the differences.

You are not ready to buy a Rolex.

This watch is so very awfully disgustingly bad that my dog barked "fake" to me from across the room, and he's half blind .... and a dog.

You need to hang 'round here for at least 6 months. Then it'll be easy.

..... or visit an AD

..... or buy from certain traders with utterly impeccable reputations. Don't settle for less.

I am guessing that you have never bothered to look at real Rolex watches as an authorized dealer or even on their website?

Surely this can not be a serious question. That thing looks terrible.

i don't get it. rolex has never made a bezel or a back like that. why try to "fake" something that doesn't even look real?

Unique bezel, clear case back...you've got yourself a keeper...

And welcome to TRF. It's nice to finally have a new poster ask the 'fake or real' question.

I guess we find pleasure in these things. Otherwise...

Thinkig of that, at the bottom of the page there is something called "Banner Of The Month". I thought that, instead of a virtual plackard, it was the nick of the mod who banned more people in any given 30 day period!!
