I got this Rolex from a friend who lost the papers, box and receipt.

He said his Dad bought it for him for his 15th birthday. It's supposed to be a brand new style for 2008.

I examined it real close and suspect it may be fake because the R in rolex looks a bit suspect...the font isn't quite right.

What do you think...it's real right?

Please make sure to check out all three images before you make up your mind.

Nope! Rolex only made that with a white dial!!

Alcan · 25 September 2007, 08:15 AM

Looks legit to me. Are you laughing because of the deal you got on it?

SPACE-DWELLER · 25 September 2007, 08:16 AM

Nice one!

GerardoG · 25 September 2007, 08:19 AM

...I think that is the brand new YM III...

What the hell is it?!?

Oh, I know. It's a Datejust Chronograph. Right?!?

Rockrolex · 25 September 2007, 08:30 AM

With all those Rolex crowns, it must be legit.

Alcan · 25 September 2007, 08:42 AM

I just took another look, now I think it might be fake. It doesn't look at all like this authentic, original Rolex. I'm pretty sure it's real, the nice man who sold it to me had a whole suitcase full of them so he must know a lot about them.

jimbo1mcm · 25 September 2007, 08:50 AM

EvEr34 · 25 September 2007, 08:50 AM

Flyjet601 · 25 September 2007, 09:16 AM

Awesome...you want to sell it

Prince · 25 September 2007, 09:48 AM

Absolutely

at the lot of you!!!

Andad · 25 September 2007, 10:30 AM

Hmmm, so someone finally located a Rolex AP open heart GMT. Thats worth a few bucks.

steve-o · 25 September 2007, 10:45 AM

I actually have this monstrosity...it was so outrageous...I bought it in Bahrain as a joke...$15.

Only one arm, the hour arm...minute hand is the teeny weeny one...second hand is the other teeny weeny one...too funny.

Funniest thing I'd ever seen. Ha ha ha ...I kill me.

Rawhyde · 25 September 2007, 10:54 AM

That is a true work of highly subtle and understated art! It is DEFINATELY a genuine PIECE!

It's fine elegance notwithstanding, the technology is beyond state of the art. I've never seen transparant stainless steel until I saw the back of that mighty fine timepiece. Star Trek has taught us that we'll have Transparant Aluminum in the 23rd century, but the Swiss artisans of Rolex have given us transparant stainless steel TODAY!

PS I want one!

Superlative · 25 September 2007, 11:53 AM

yes its real! I'm on a waiting list to get my 4 1/2 year old one when he start kindergarten.

daunwaun · 25 September 2007, 12:11 PM
