Is this Rolex fake?

Besides the strap that doesn’t even come close to fitting correctly, does anyone see any other obvious clues that this might not be real?

I have an agreement to buy it, subject to inspection, but something just doesn’t seem right

If something doesn’t seem right, then you have your answer. Pass.

IS it a 50519? This is a comparison model

I wonder how many people fake gold celinis? I imagine that dial would be quite hard to do....

There’s a lot of differences between the two...The color of the hands , the strange dots above the “Swiss made” and the 20..

The 4 and 6 o'clock markers that have fallen off the dial is another pretty big clue.

No, they are not.

But the addition of a 3 o'clock marker that shouldn't be there is also another clue.

No, seller inherited the watch, we made a deal where I could take it for the day to an authorized dealer and have it looked at. I don’t really think that’s necessary at this point, thanks to the good members of this forum!

They always inherit these watches. That way if the fact it's a fake comes to be known, they can throw grandpa under the bus.

If you don't feel too comfortable about deal you can pass.
