Real or fake

I'm interested in your opinions as to whether this is a real or fake Rolex. I recently purchased it (for a significant sum) and I'm not concerned that it is not real. The seller accepts returns, so I can always get money back. I was told that the dial was refinished.
Thanks,
Ron

Weird... I don't know much about vintage versions, but this one doesnt look genuine to me. I might be wrong though.

Whatever it is, I think it's beautiful.

I don't think it's exactly a fake, but it might be cobbled together.

I seem to remember seeing movements like this though.
