First if you bought it from a reliable source you should have no problems.Take it to a AD have them get the back off to check movement thats the only reliable check today.

Welcome to TRF, but don't you think it would have been a better idea to have checked here first before buying the watch?

As Padi says, if you've purchased from a reliable source or an AD, then you have nothing to worry about.

Some nice close-up pics will help us help you!!

Cheers - JJ

If you have to ask, sounds like you already know the answer! I do wish you the best of luck and welcome to the forum. Post pics - you'll know within a few minutes from the pros here.

Close up of dial, caseback, bracelet and clasp will help.

bodybump · 30 October 2008, 01:05 PM

Sorry to say but its a fake.

Rolex never made a TT President.

JJ Irani · 30 October 2008, 04:15 PM

Sorry ot burst your bubble, but that is an awful fake. Everything about that watch is wrong and the workmanship very inferior.

JJ

sbakar · 30 October 2008, 04:23 PM

I hope you didn't pay too much...it's a fake.

The script, position, and magnification of the date are wrong. The bracelet is wrong. No such thing as a TT President (already mentioned). Smaller defects on the dial.

Sorry...

selferng · 30 October 2008, 04:24 PM

may i know what is a TT president?

bad luck anyway

"President" is the colloquial way of saying "Day-Date" - a Rolex-recognized way of saying that the watch has two complications: a day display and a date display.

"TT" means "two-tone"...in this case, between stainless steel and yellow gold.

TT = Two Tone = Steel and Gold combination.

The President bracelet is available only in precious metals - White Gold, Yellow Gold or Platinum.

That watch above has a very cheap imitation of the President in steel and "gold" which is obviously cheap plating.

The whole watch is a terrible fake. Not sure where you got it, but it's all wrong and terribly finished.

JJ

selferng · 30 October 2008, 04:29 PM

well around 70usd for it...

worth it? lolz

sbakar · 30 October 2008, 04:30 PM

Only 7 more to go, JJ!!!

For 70 bucks you could have got yourself a genuine Timex....much more value than that atrocity.

You just said above that you paid 70 bucks for it. How can you even think you'd get a Rolex for that price?

The silver lining is that he could have tried to pull much more money from you. Relatively cheap lesson!
