The easiest way to know if your watch is real is buy from a trusted Rolex dealer. Absent that you are at extremely high risk of being fleeced.

Welcome as for the watch it has an aftermarket bezel and fake dial. As for the watch can't tell much from those pics but the first 2 would make me not touch it!! If you want a real legit Rolex buy from real legit seller or AD as said above. Cheers,

When I look for a watch the first thing I look at is who the seller is. Another thing I look at is the photos. If the seller can't be bothered to take crystal clear photos at different angles showing the watch up close that he/she is selling for thousands of dollars then my $$$$ will go elsewhere.

Welcome to TRF!
After some time doing your homework you will be better able to find the flaws in pre-owned Rolexes. There is really no shortcuts to knowledge...
