Rolex verification please

Is this an authentic Rolex? If so, what is approximate worth?

Did you use a potato to take the pictures?

You'll need more and better pictures for anything definitive.

The bracelet looks like the gold has worn off, which is not a good sign.

It looks like a ladies' reference, which I'm not familiar with, so I'll leave it at that.

As Grady has mentioned it looks like some gold plating has been removed, which is not a good sign.

The camera's lens is in about the same condition as the watch's crystal.

It was just a question. Forget I asked. I expected mature answers from
people who have more knowledge than I do. I did not expect to be ridiculed.
Thank you for your responses. Have a nice day.

You asked if it was authentic, and we answered.

Even you must admit, the images are not very good. These are the sort of images we see when somebody is trying to hide the obvious.

Sorry, I can only upload pics from my phone.

Why would I be trying to hide something? I am merely curious if it is real. I am not trying to sell it or anything. I tried uploading pics for 15 minutes but kept getting a message that the files were too large.

It is worth less than $1 in raw materials. It is as fake as they come.

Does the second hand go tick tick tick or sweep? It's fake either way- but that looks like an older fake.

Nobody accused you of anything other than poor pictures.

Sure some people made wisecracks but that comes with the territory at times...

Yeah the "gold" is wearing off in majority off the bracelet areas, definitely not an authentic Rolex, actually I'm not sure I would even consider that an authentic watch period
