Somehow, I just don't think that's authentic.

Why is the date numeral (9) sitting so high in the window?

[thebestman56]

thats what i was thinking, and why would you say its not?

[thebestman56]

i thinks its the angle of the picture looks normal in person

[adiorandomhero93]

Cyclops looks crooked

[AlBacon!974]

Not an expert by any means but my TT 16013 has 455 endlinks which I thought were for the TT while the 555 endlinks are for SS? If I'm mistaken someone please correct me.

i researched all that too just trying to make sure so i can get a refund even though its all sales final , talked to the guy today he said thats how it is i highly doubt it just don't wanna make myself look stupid

dial and bezel are fake, the date is in the right place, that is what you get with cheap custom dials, the date window is in the wrong place, band is also fake

Custom jewelry and Rolex should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

Yes, this is not an original dial plate just refinished. It never saw the inside of the rolex factory. It is manufactured by a third party, a piece of tin or brass cut to shape, obviously not accurately manufactured and painted, illegal actually to do. There are aftermarket refinished dials (an original rolex plate resprayed and diamonds set,these fit and fake dials. Yours is fake sorry.

becasue the numbers on a rolex anywhere including the band are not random, they mean something. The numbers you provide are for stainless steel band jubilee band as do the numbers for the endlinks, secondly rolex would never put 62510h then 18 on the same band as it makes no sense, a steel band reference number with an indicator of 18k gold ? take it back and i would not exchange it at that store, get you money and go elsewhere, they obviously sell fake stuff, if you exchange you will likely get a fake band again or some other problem, if they do this on the outside imagine the inside you cannot see, fake crystal, crwon tube, stems, hands the list could go on, just my advice to you, you do what you want regards

your absolutely right I'm going elsewhere to get a new watch i noticed the same thing on the clasp and the 18 next to the h looked a little off it wasn't even lined up right with the other number. thanks for your help I'm just waiting till the store calls me back so i can report my findings.just trying to have my points ready they seem really convinced its real
