Help plz, authentic or fake?

Hello my father gave me this watch that was it.

I wonder if it is fake or authentic.

some points that I do believe it is authentic
-second hand moves about 5 times per second, semi smoothly.
Crystal-front even though he had to this time in perfect condition.
-That little symbol of the crown in the crystal (around 6 hours) with reflex can see it perfectly.
-Numbers written on the bracelet and part of the coast is clear.
-Date magnification crystal magnify the date really (2x or more) .

Some things that make me think it's replica:
Part-yellow bracelet (gold) ends this coming worn to appear silvery in places.
The gmt-pointer alternative is working but when he arrives at 6 o'clock physically lock symbol on the side of 6 o'clock.

sorry for the inconvenience ... (and my English skill)

Fake. It's ok you aren't alone. We have many people receiving fake rolexes from family members in this section of TRF.

Bad fake; 100% certain

Tons of things wrong.....but I will point out one to you. Rolex does not gold plate....any gold on a genuine is solid gold, it won't "come off"

Look at the symmetry of the bracelet links to the case, everything is waay off
