Local watch dealer sent me this photo. Unfortunately it’s the only angle he sent. I’ve learned to trust him over time but this kind of made me a little suspicious. The cyclops magnification seems weak. What do you think?

    Unfortunately fake:

    1. The cyclops date magnification is not the 2.5x that Rolex uses (under 2.5x cyclops magnification the date window is quite a bit larger).
    2. I can’t be certain from this angle, but those crownguards do not look like Rolex crownguards but more like fake Submariner crownguards.

    Other than that, it’s pretty good for a fake, because the differences are mostly subtle. Compare to this listing and this listing, or Rolex’ own site.

      Thanks - the cyclops just didn’t feel right. It’s really weird because he’s a reputable guy and I wonder if he himself doesn’t know.
