Need help authenticating
Hello everyone,
I have been offered the opportunity to purchase this watch; before I do so, I would like to guarantee its authenticity. Can anyone offer insight into whether or not this watch is in fact a Rolex, or point to any signs that it might be a fake? Thank you in advance to everyone who chooses to share their insights and opinions on this matter. Best, Yann, RolexFan2003 Last edited by Lol-x; 10 November 2020 at 09:01 AM..

His post was modified; he tried to post a ZIP file, on which no one will (or ever should) click.

From what I can see in the very blurry pic {often done "on purpose"}, the bracelet seems to be badly worn (way too much "side-bend" to it) and the lume dots at the dial indices appear VERY suspicious. At a minimum, it may possibly be a bad re-lume attempt. Or . . . . . something else.
The case appears "sandpapered" and there are at least two other major things I see that raise my suspicions. Were I you, I would immediately forget about this watch. Overall, whether real or not, it is grotesquely horrid.
