Most likely fake rolex, but need your confirmation

Hi,

Long story short, recieved a rolex from girlfriends grandfather who works as a clockmaker.

I know the dial looks super fake, but are there any other giveaways that this rolex is fake?
Could it be a real rolex with a custom dial?

I am very new in watch game so please be kind :)

Thanks in advance

I would think a clockmaker would know if a watch is fake. I guess it depends on the type of clockmaker.

Pro-Hunter is a customization company like Bamford.
So could be "original" but modified.

That's not a Pro-hunter. The lettering isn't even straight and the pattern on the dial is crooked. garbage.

Just to make sure test out it’s water resistance at at least 1000m to get a better idea ����
