Total POS Fake.

As has been said, it's a fake. Just compare it to other photos on the forum and you'll know why.

Welcome to the forum - it is a great place to learn. Answers come by reading the various threads about the model you want to buy. In other words, what is wrong with this particular item may look OK in the next one you look at.

In this item, the fake is very bad. I am sure a watchmaker could inspect it and give you a list of 10 or more things but for today, the date wheel and end links are clearly fake.

Best advice I ever read on this forum is: "Buy the seller first". In other words, be sure of the reputation of the seller - only deal with sellers who have a long list of authentic Rolex transactions. If you look at the trusted sellers here on TRF, you will reduce your exposure to fakes to nil.

There are COUNTLESS other Submariners like yours, dating back several YEARS, in the for sale section. All anybody has to do, that wants to know why their watch is fake, is COMPARE theirs to the ones here. You can see for yourself what the differences are.

It is so cool how you guys spot them so quick. A definite fake and pretty obvious but how quick y'all respond is really cool

crowncollection · 16 November 2012, 07:57 AM

definite fake sorry

rioc · 16 November 2012, 08:31 AM

sond86 · 16 November 2012, 08:34 AM

Just the name submariber already implies fake to me.

AmbSteve · 16 November 2012, 10:05 AM

It is fake from the front and back, sorry

bimmerboy · 16 November 2012, 10:18 AM

I did not even have to scroll down to check the general consensus before i blurted out FAKE!
thanks for the practice now feel free to compare it to mine.

mmmk604 · 16 November 2012, 11:25 AM

I always look at the cyclops first...I didn't even bother focusing at the other photos.

You should let the seller know that he has a fake.

djemmtee · 16 November 2012, 03:52 PM

@bimmer...yours looks like my authentic rolex that I just sold :)
