First Rolex, Is this fake?

Dear RF Members,

I'll keep this short.

Looking for my first Rolex and found this locally.

Have not pulled the trigger on this watch yet, my heart says yes but my gut says no.

Please see the photos attached.

Thank you in advance for any assistance that you may provide regarding this matter.


Regards,


Kevin Byrne.

Is that a business of individual selling? Local or online?

Even with horrible pics, it’s an obvious fake.

Very easy to identify fake. I would recommend buying from a large dealer if you couldn’t find the issues.

Kevin, who is the seller?

Do yourself a favor and buy from one of the great sellers on this forum. There are things called “boutiques“ at the top. They have this watch many times over.

The “F” in the serial number stands for Fake.

I would stay away from this place. I see several counterfeit items in the pictures, including more than one watch.
