Can't tell from the blurry photos and one stock photo .... but it should come with credit card style warranty card (not paper).

I have never seen a fake Milgauss even though I am sure they exist.

I definitely wouldn't touch it.
The certificate is countfeit by the looks of it. I don't think any modern milgauss came with a paper warranty certificate.
No booklets or box, just very suspect.

I agree most definately that the papers are the poor quality photocopy that show up from time to time (as is the hang tag).

I concur with Steve, The warranty paper depicted is 100% counterfeit. Rolex retired that style of warranty paper about six years before the Milgauss was reintroduced. The warranty paper for the new Milgauss is the the credit card style variety.

Also, two other things:
1. The first photo is very different than the other photos, and I believe that photo is most likely stolen.
2. The hang tag looks to be totally fake (no hologram on the tag).

The simple fact that the clear photo is a stock photo and the others are blurry is enough to say scam. Also, that Milgauss looks way too small. If you use the hangtag as a comparison, it is about the size of a ladies datejust or men's midsize.
