2. Is it ok for the dial, date, hands, crown and lume?
3. Anyone know about the symbol on the dial? with arabic letter
4. What kind of movement inside? eta? (I donn't open the case back coz i donn't bring rolex back case opener)

The bezel bi-directional, no click

Crest is United Arab Emirates. Printing is sloppy. Too sloppy for Rolex maybe.
On the watch itself: something seems off imho.

The 12 'o clock triangle which should be a little pointy on the bottom is so off that this is definitely a redial. Add to that the hourmarkers. Something about the hands is off just like what Dan said.

The caseback is definitely not original. Though it says it's a Rolex caseback the engraving font and big size is off for an older Rolex caseback.

The movement would be an ETA 2824 most probably but after seeing a lot of discrepancy, opening the caseback and taking a peak would be in order.

Though a sonwflake Sub. The 12 marker should at least look like this.

+1. Caseback looks off as well. I think it's a fake.

Downright fake. Look at the ending of the "R" in Tudor, and the case back. No way. In the case back picture, look at the shape of the back of the crown guards. Fake case, fake dial, fake case back, fake hands.

Did I say it's fake? Cheers and enjoy your evening. :-) Thursday is starting here.

True! This thing is awful.

Wrong fonts, fat markers, AWFULLLL Case profile, hands too thick, diamond in wrong spot
