The regatta countdown hand is off doing its own thing.

Just test the regatta timer, don’t think fakes have replicated the movement. And ya as mentioned regatta hand isn’t supposed to be pointin anywhere between 4 and 8 o’clock (YouTube search how to use regatta timer)

I’m no expert, and usually suck at checking pictures for authenticity, but I’m going to go ahead and call that a fake as well
It just looks way off Keep us posted! |

Its FAKE because its got a 10 minute programmable count down counter i,e 10 mins to zero mins
Yet the counter is pointing to 6 which is not part of the 10 minute counter scale. and I doubt any counterfeiter will ever manage to replicate this function A

I’m glad first thing popped in the kids head was go to Rolex to see if it’s real vs taking it to the police.
Btw - it’s junk |

Can you share with us which dealer this was...let us know if they're also in the market to buy watches as well, because I'd be afraid to see what's in their "used" selection.
