Rolex Daytona 116523 Authentication help

[pottsy1993]

Hello, as title says looking for some help with this Daytona to see if it is genuine.

Was purchased around 6 months ago but kept in box for first 4 months.

Whilst wearing, I began to notice it would only stay wound for around 24 hours and losing a minute a day. Not sure if this just requires a service or means the movement is not genuine?

Upon closer inspection I've noticed a poor finish around the sub dials and the lumes seem to be of poor quality. Also, the crown on the clasp seems poor.

However, watch was supplied with papers and Rolex service papers which gives me a small hint of confidence.

I have attached pictures of everything mentioned.

Was purchased from a trader in UK.

If I was to take to Rolex for a service and they discovered it was fake, would they destroy it or return it?

Thanks in advance.

I previewed them in a safe mode and only 2 are legit photos of paperwork.

The others were invalid file structures that were suspicious - I definitely agree nobody should try opening them.

From your MacBook, click the paperclip and upload them to the thread. If they are too big then resize them first.

You need to post them through Tapatalk or host them on Imgur, etc

You can attach images directly from your computer, just click "advanced" and then "manage attachments". Note the size limits on pictures, both in pixels and bytes.

If you need to resize the images on your macbook, just double click them and use the crop, resize and export functions wisely. Personally I first crop the pictures to only contain what's needed, then I use the resize function and make them fit the pixel requirements, lastly I export as a jpg and adjust the quality slider until the size in bytes is within the limits.

I've tried imgur but the links it gives me say invalid in attachments.

I have double clicked on pictures on MacBook but I cannot find any crop, resize or export functions.

Im not good with computers :(

There is a fairly detailed sticky at the top of the forum about attaching photo’s. If you follow those instructions you should be able to attach photo’s.

Zip files?! You're on your own champ.

Managed to screenshot and resize all photos, just in process of getting file size down which may take awhile with some of the higher quality images, just trialing this image that I've got down to size.

I think the other 9 images will come up as invalid because they were showing as text docs when I zipped them, the other two photos had been edited on MacBook to cover serial number and that's probably why those two showed up ok.

Should have the rest of the images resized by tonight!
