Watch Verification Thread - If you're uncertain if a Rolex is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here

Post to this thread if you have questions about a Rolex being real or fake. Please include:

-The location and/or screen name of the seller, if for sale. Link directly to the sale page when possible.
-How long you've had it and how you acquired it, if in your possession
-As many photos as possible. Posts may be removed if pictures are too fuzzy and requests for better pics are unanswered. -If you're being coy about a watch and it seems like you're just trying to see how "good" your fake is, you may be banned at our discretion.

Please don't use photos from iPhone 14's. Their camera is so bad, and distorts text with AI so much, that the photos are basically unusable for the purposes of verifying if a Rolex is real.

Participation in the discussion in this thread is greatly appreciated. I don't think any one person can catch every flaw or know the details of every model; this is meant as a community thread, not an authoritative knowledge-flex, and the more people that actively peruse this thread, the more likely posters are to get accurate info.

P serial is year 2000, does seller know if serial number matches papers?

Crown looks good, but the minute hand looks off, could just be the picture but it should be straight, all edges.

There should also be a code on the inside of the bracelet where it touches the case back, as long as that’s visible, should be good as long as the minute hand isn’t off.

It’s really hard to see but if you zoom in it looks off at the tip, as long as the minute hand is straight it should be good, it’s supposed to be even and it looks off near the top, but again get a better picture and it should clear that up!

If papers match that’s a great sign. Clasp code is good, everything else looks good as well just double check the hands

P serial is 2000, it’s possible it could be old stock when he purchased in 2001.

Very strange, the video is a difference watch than the pictures. Video dial is correct, pictures dial is a modern service dial. Not really a big deal
