100% Fake, sorry.

Case numbers incorrect, dial font incorrect.

Also look at the crown. It looks like a steel/nickel alloy with gold finish that has started to come off.

Also on the holographic stick it looks like it says or said "116622". To my knowledge there is no such model. Now there is a model 16622 which is the SS/PL YM.

Also on the back of the watch bracelet is engraved "116610". What is that? Surely that is not the model number either, because the 116610 is the model number for the Sub-c.

The "ROLEX", coronet and design stamp on the bracelet clasp does not look like the right font. Also the coronet looks stubby compared to the authentic. Also, there are clasp codes you typically see to the right of the "ROLEX" stamp. See below

As Nicko would probably say, Its a fugazi!

Welcome to the Forum!

First you say you inherited the watch and then it was bought at an Estate Sale. Be straight from the beginning next time!

i never said once i bought the watch, thank you. it was inherited from an estate, not an estate sale, like an auction..... i didnt pay a dime for it....but thanks for the welcome to the forum!

on another note! i took it down to the rolex jeweler today, one guy thought it was real, for a SPLIT second...then the other was like oh the wrench fits, thats a good sign...anyways....its 100 percent......................FAKE! haha saw some gorgeous watches while i was there thugh... :drool::drool:

Well the big give away a few pages back on all gold watches with triplock crowns the centre dot is always larger on genuine all gold watches.

It's a Fake. And I'm fairly certain that you're aware of that fact as well. My first question would be why the numbers on the band and the numbers on the holographic sticker on the case back don't match. Pull the band end links off the watch and shoot some pics of whatever is stamped between the lugs(if in fact anything IS.) Replicas have come a long way. Again...just my opinion. I'm certainly not an expert.

d-rock · 8 September 2010, 09:59 AM

Ahhh, the truth at last. I put my two cents in prior to reading all the way through.
But out of curiosity, what movement did the jeweler say it employed???...or DID you even take it to a jeweler. My guess is......not. Again..just my opinion and just curious.

Jtisch · 9 September 2010, 03:34 AM

it was a continuous movement...but it was a crappy automatic or something he said.

You don't have to look past the 2 most obvious errors. The minute hand is too narrow and the centre of the M in Master comes all the way down to the baseline. The correct M appears as it is in this text.
