Is this real?

Me and my friend were cleaning out his car today,which he bought about a month ago and we found a rolex, or what we think to be one. I haven't gotten around to taking it to a jewlers yet and wanted to know if you guys could give any opinions on if it is real or not. When we found it the hands were already broken off of it and it isn't ticking, I haven't opened it or done anything to it since I don't know anything about watches.

That picture is what we have affectionately come to know as hunkajunka. It's a rare breed of watch trying to pass itself off at E-Bay functions, Craigslist, corner guy with a trench coat saying; "PSSSSSTTTTT Hey Buddy; Buy Watch", and other notable places where thieves and cons hang out. You may now take hunkajunka out to the driveway and drive over it with your monster Hummer and spare others the temptation to put said hunkajunka on E-Bay and try to get $17,000 for it as a real President Rolex.

Sorry we could not have given you a better outcome for the watch in question.

If you're a gun guy, you could take it to the target range.
