Legit check on an Oyster Perpetual Datejust

Greetings,

Looking for a legit check on this two tone Oyster Perpetual Datejust I saw at a local auction house. Only flaw I noticed so far is the 6 o'clock marker came loose. I wasn't able to take more photos but here's what I was able to capture.










Thanks in advance!

Fake? How can you say that with such determination based on these pics?

It is very obvious in this case, you just have to know what to look for!

I didn't say it isn't fake. Just dislike those one word comments not stating what parts of watch are fake which do not help an OP to identify. And by the way: it is not so obvious in this case for an untrained eye, which most of help seekers have (that is why they ask).

You've been a member here for over three years. Surely you must have learned something about real Rolexes in that time ?
