Authentication help needed

Hello All,

I got this watch as a gift from my in-laws and not sure is its real or not.

I tried to look online but couldn't find this specific model with this bracelet.

The model number on the back of the watch is 16233 but on the bracelet its 18956.

The second dial sweeps, there is a rolex crown on the glass at 6 o'clock, the weight feels right (135 gr.) There are no engravings between the lugs of the watch.

Please tell me your opinions. Thank you.

That is actually one of the ugliest most noticeable fakes I've seen... Wow. Unless you have a "great" relationship with your in-laws, I highly doubt they'll spend thousands on a Rolex unless you're marrying their daughter/have been married for a while and it's an anniversary gift

Knows absolutely nothing about the authenticity, but knows how many grams it weighs? Story is as Funny as the watch. Is it just me or have there been a lot more of these posts lately?

Definitely there has been a lot more of these "gift" posts lately... I guess it's the time where everyone is gifting their Jewelery away

So your in-laws are in the habit of giving you fake gifts? If it was me I'd assume they're trying to tell me something.

Thank You for the responses

I was just asking for help with authentication, not personal opinions. But thank you anyway.
