[Question]Rolex oyster perpetual date
Well, hello to everyone, I'll like you to help me, my grandfather just left me a Rolex he had for many years but as I'm not an expert with this kind of watches, I'm wondering whether it is a real Rolex or not, because, well, as it is old, it doesn't look in a good condition; the part where the outer numbers are (don't know how is it called) looks washed out because of the use and well, I don't really think that's normal for a Rolex, but I really don't know, what do you guys think?

Just for my education, what are the features or aspects of the picture that tell you it's a fake?

The easiest way to see its fake, is that the cyclops don't magnify. The typeface on the date wheel is wrong. The crown is too big. The markers are off. |

Another grandfather bought a fake watch? What a string of terrible luck for grandfathers. I don't believe they've ever purchased a legit watch.
