Icon6 Please help a newb

I recived a Rolex Datejust 78440 for Christmas from my boyfriend. However I think it might be a fake. I took it to my local jeweler and he said he did not know a lot about Rolex’s however he said it had a nice sweeping motion of the secondhand and he tested the bezel, and it tested as 18k gold. The reason I think it might be a fake is that the Cyclops does not magnify the date the same way that I have seen over the internet. Help please?

Did it come in a Rolex box with warranty papers? Sounds like you need to see a Rolex dealer!!!

He gave it to me on a teddy bear without papers when I asked him about it he said he bought it second hand. I am not mad that he bought it second hand. He says the person is a friend of his fathers and swears it is real. I just do not think it is right for me to wear the watch if it is a fake

ok the last time I tried to reply the pc ate it
also model number is wrong 78240 is the right one

You're going to need better photos than that if anyone's going to help you.
