New here. Question about my Rolex Clasp
I got an old Rolex gifted to me and the person who gave it to me got it second hand I believe from a pawn shop. The clasp however spells patented wrong as ‘patened’ I am wondering if therefore this is fake or it is spelled like that for whatever reason as I have little knowledge and couldn’t find a proper answer on the internet other than an old rolex with the same spelling being sold for $20,000 on an auction website making me wonder if this is how it used to be spelt?
Thank you all answers appreciated. I will post a link to the clasp once I reach the 10 post threshold. Also just wondering if there was anywhere on this website (and whereabouts) I could post images of the watch to check its legitimacy, if that is allowed? |

no expert, but this doesn't look right. Rolex doesn't misspell. Are there any other tells on the authenticity of the watch?

Welcome..
There are a few, well known, mis-prints on Rolex parts and watches. In this case, however, the bracelet shown is counterfeit.
