Real or fake? Oyster Perpetual datejust

Hi, I found a watch in one of our drawers while clearing away some old stuff a few days ago and was wondering if I could get some expert opinions:









My dad got it as a present years ago (over 15 years at least) from a relative, so I'm not sure whether it's real or a fake. Cheers.

Everything about it is fake. All the fonts are off and poorly printed at that. That date window magnification also is off.

If you find a watch while cleaning drawers of old stuff, chances are it won´t be a Rolex.

Fake.

Even if your dad got it as a present. You usually know when you're getting a real Rolex... Getting it as a holiday gift, with a sidekick of cheap vodka from overseas... You know it's not a real one.
