...GREAT catch...

...the band is COUNTERFEIT!

...notice the bottom side of the endpieces.

...notice the springbar connectors on the band-FLAT-INCORRECT.

...notice the coronet on the folding clasp-tooooo small.

...notice the weird crown on the buckle.

X2 Stan. Also, the scrollwork around "Rolex" on the clasp is incorrect.

The watch itself probably needs serviced, to help the day/date wheels move smoothly. It appears genuine. The bracelet, however, is fake.
