Umm, nothing jumps out at me as being blatantly fake... this may be the real deal. What makes you think it is a folex?

Boy do I feel stupid (nothing new there.) First time I looked at it about 1/2 hour ago I too could see nothing wrong with it...and I own TWO SUBS!

I had to look at my Subs then back at the picture. I am still a Rolex newbie.

Heres an obvious one (non rolex) They block out the brand and just call it a Marina, So technically nothing is wrong with that

I think this part of the description gives it away: 18,600 ALTERATIONS PER HOUR

My dialog with him:

ME: If you are going to sell a fake rolex at least dont sell one that is so obviously fake. And if you are not aware that is a fake rolex, look at the triangle at the 12, it is facing the wrong direction.

HIM: Well genius if you want to call Ben Bridges and ask them why they put it on upside down feel free to. I thought it made it unique so I didn't bother changing it back. I did not plan on selling it any time, but things have changed. But since you know everything i will leave you to sulk in your stupidity. Don't accuse before you ask questions
