Fake or a Bad job done?
Is this a fake or is it just a real bad touched up job on the dial? Even the clasps looks odd...

For that money, I'm sure you could buy a nice Genuine one in Singapore
If you're in any doubt, then, there is no doubt. |

Looks fake to me; don't know anything about older watches, but if that clasp is genuine I will eat my shoes

Looks like a phony to me. The zeros are different, the sixes are different and the letters are off. Plus look at the reflection on the crystal.

I don't know a right lot in terms of fake spotting.
But within 5 seconds know that's a fake. A bad fake. |

Wow, that is just awful. Also, eBay probably doesn't appreciate that they openly advertise in the listing that they'll sell it for a lower price directly on their own website.

More fake than the Reality Shows of today!
1. Bracelet does not look Oyster. 2. The crown on the clasp -- It is holy HUGE!!!. 3. The hole in the hour marker, WHAT THE HELL??? Where did that come from?  4. THe ROLEX crown on the dial, the hole in it: way too small!! 5. Look at the "660" on the dial -- both sixes look different.. 6. Look at the "200m" ... looks more like "200 /n" ... 7. Why is the dial not showing its age? It should be yellowing by now. 8. Thepearl on the insert is white like Michael Jackson...it should be browning by now... To many red flags... |

I'm new and by NO means a Rolex expert but there is NO WAY I would buy this watch! Just doesn't look real. From what everyone said plus it just doesn't have the quality look that Rolex is famous for. IMHO, pass......

 It's astounding (well, not really) that you would make this post when it's obvious you have literally no idea what you're talking about.

Anyway, what surprises me is that this watch is put up by a proper business operator who specialises on watches and jewelries... how could they even miss this being a fake... |
