Is this ladies Rolex authentic?

Is this ladies Rolex authentic?

I am thinking about buying this if it's real. Keep in mind I have not been able to take the band off to see if the serial number matches. Anything wrong with the paper work or the paperwork matching the watch? What would be a good price to buy it for?


Thanks to all the watch detectives out there :)

I'm afraid you're in the wrong section, perhaps you would have better answers in the Watch out sub forum!

P.S.: I personally don't see anything wrong with this watch but I'm not an expert.

Yeah I was wondering why it said silver, still doesn't mean its a fake, but I am going to try to get them to take the band off and the back case. Damn crooked pawn shops, and this is a national chain. I have discovered at least one fake in there they are trying to sell for $1,000. That's fraud last time I checked.

You're right cause the dial could have been changed.

I'm more concerned about the narrow bracelet.

Yes the cyclops looks off center and too large I think. Could be the camera angle. Maybe I need to file a report on that shop anon. I took the pictures myself.

The watch is good.
Many times Dials are replaced to make them look better and more expensive and exotic.
The crystal is most likely a generic type.
The lower part of the watch overlaps part of the bracelet hence the funny looking and awkward angle.
I have brighten the picture to see.

Thanks, now let's see if I can get it at the right price or not. They are asking $3,200. I would need to get it for half to make any money.

That wasn't really the original intent or spirit of this sub-forum. It was to help members avoid making expensive mistakes, not to aid in their financial gain.

That would be an expensive mistake for sure.

Well, it appears the OP had some trouble with verbalizing his issues to-wards post 17 and to moderation...
I'd copy and paste them here, but by the time I removed the expletives, there wouldn't be much left to read!!!!
