Rolex Hulk - need help on this one

[Yzord]

I need some help from you guys. I got my hands on a Rolex Hulk, but no papers or box. I am pretty certain it is a real one, but maybe you see something. The watch weighs 154gr, lume is great and the ticking sound is somehow identical with my Submariner

If anyone needs a specific picture from an angle, just shout please. I can pick this one up for 4k euros, but without box or papers.

Sounds incredibly cheap, even without B&P.

When it’s too good to be true it usually is

I have concerns about the authenticity of that watch. In more ways than one.

[Ec2016]

There are really good fakes out there where it’s almost impossible to verify through pics. 4000 euros seems questionable. Unless it’s from a reputable seller, I recommend passing.

[Wobbly]

The dial looks ever so slightly tilted ACW

[harvey]

Can’t really tell without opening it up...

[AK797]

Nope, don't like it, colours are not right.

[donas]

Sounds too low a price to be true....as others have said, if it sounds too good, stick with your gut feeling.

[enjoythemusic]

If real, may be stolen.

[RoscoPico]

buy the seller.
also, i think this thread over to "watchout" subforum no ?

[taylor]

Maybe it is the photograph’s angle, but the pip looks too large.

[Yzord]

I have a lot of Rolex's and i know what to look for and everything looks pretty good, but still...

Are there any references i could check? To be sure i need to open it up, but i do not have the tool atm.

[Rado63]

hard to say from these photos alone. If you know the seller then you should buy it.. Send to Rolex for service and have it cleaned up. Now you have some paperwork .

[Yzord]

This is the story. It is a friend of mine and he says this is a watch from his grandpa who died. He does not have a clue how to use this watch because he said it did not work. But i have it here with me and all i had to do to get it to work is winding it up again.

So i asked him, if you want to sell it, would you agree with 4k euro? He said, sure. So, i am in a position to buy this hulk very cheap, but without papers and box, but i need to know for sure if it is real haha.

So, you’re low-balling someone who knows nothing about watches on their grandfather’s watch?

[Rick Deckard]

Can you show us the inside of the clasp?

The part of the clasp that says "ROLEX", "GENEVA" and "SWISS MADE", is that polished?

Also, please post a picture of the lettering on the rehaut (inside ROLEX*ROLEX*ROLEX*ROLEX) but blur part of the serial number.

Or the friend knows it's a fake and tries to make an easy few thousand profit.

This keeps getting worse.....so you're the one doing the ripping off, not getting ripped off. What a great friend.

[ArtNouveau]

Uh oh. The infamous “grandfather’s watch.”

It's just an offer. I have no intention to resell it, i just want it in my collection. He don't care about watches anyway and it has no box and papers.

[minhc88]

That looks fake.. look at the 0 markers on the bezel. Something looks off.

Checked it, and it is there. The font of the datewheel is also good.

[JonnyBCisco]

Dunno why but it seems like the Rolex watches that everyone’s deceased relatives leave behind end up not being real. Probably just on this forum.

[FLGatorM5]

I’ll leave to moral arguments and picture ID to those more qualified.

Why not take it to a local Rolex specialist and have them open it up with you both there? Then make a fair offer to your friend.
