My friend said he got it for free; factory fault, apparently.

It may be a factory fault, but not from the Rolex factory.

Not very convincing.

What's the reference number on the caseback sticker? (just out of interest)

date magnification looks a bit lackluster, the day alignment looks horrible, as does the coronet on the dial and the finish of the hands... I'm going to roll the dice and say Not Real...

The first thing that should stand-out is that it has a Day-Date window and the dial says DateJust,

There is no Pakistani Rolex factory. It says "Swiss made" on the dial because it is precisely that, Swiss made.

Oh yeah, that thing is grotesque.

In the context of wether it is real or not based off of the information his friend is giving him and what he can discern himself, it saying Swiss made on the dial and his friend claiming it was made in Pakistan doesn't make any sense.

Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you said it was Swiss made.
