Is this real or fake?

Hi! I have this "Rolex' and I'm curious as to you all's opinion if it is real or a fake.

I came across it cleaning out an abandoned home.

It did have a sticker on the back with the model number but I took that off, because I wanted to sell it.

^^^Link to a picture I took.

It's a terrible image quality, but could you tell me whether there are any models that look like this?

There are models out there that look like that, but to my eye, the magnification on the cyclops is off

Might be the angle of the pic, but the cyclops doesn't look too good to me either.

oh no

Well, I agree that the glass part on the front seems crooked...but could that just be a problem of wear and tear. it looks rather old with scratches and whatnot.

It's 100% fake you can see that from your watch hands(short) common on all fakes.

It looks like it says Day Date on the face. Picture is really fuzzy. If it says that, where is the day (Mon, Tue, etc)?

This watch looks like it came from the same collection that a 16 year old kid inherited from his wealthy uncle...a real bad fake imitation!
