my first valuable find!!

[ggmaui]

I went to the beach yester day with my dad after, something we do day usually just take a dip and come home. He says should we take our metal detectors we have time before it gets dark, I said sure. We get there and he goes right and I go left, I was getting a little discourage as I was using my brothers detectors a cheap bounty hunter and i am not to familiar with it. Finally found a penny. Continued on and went between two couples watching the sunset and jackpot. A rolex, looks real has all the markings. Was so nervous, felt like everyone was watching me. Stuck it in my pocket and just about ran to my dad. Yeah! Pictures arent to great sorry I tried several of them.

Nice find! See even those Beloved Bounty Hunters can pick up the good stuff!
Hope its real!

A Rolex? Way to go! Do you have any better pictures, and any jewler can authenticate it. The better knock-offs come with all the marks as well.

Well now, that's a great find!

Nobody in my area is rich enough to buy a Rolex. Up here the richest folks wear Timex.

Congrats

Here is an online site that can help you check if it is real, if it passes all tests then take it to a jewelry store to check. There are a lot of fakes, some valuable, but not as valuable as a true rolex. Hope it's real for you, but don't get your hopes up too high yet.....Even if its not, it is still a great find, I would be happy with it, even if fake.

I have one labeled rolex submariner, it has all the signs of being real,it's heavy, all the labels, watch band, codes, but three things says it's not. There is no rubber ring around the stem, maginifer for date, and I paid $5 at a garage sale. It keeps good time, looks real nice, but, its a fake.

WOW!!! I have always wanted to buy one of those.. and you ended up finding on! I hope it is real too. I have a fake one, and you will know it is fake if it ever gets wet... it rusts all over the place lol. If you ever find another one send it my way

There are alot of fake rolex's. Does the second hand sweep in one motion around the dial or does it tick at each second? if it ticks it may be a fake. look at the band - are the edges nice and even or rough. are there gaps in the links where the curves are? A bad band may indicate a fake. Take it to a jeweler - they can tell in seconds if it's real or fake. I know cause I got a fake one as a gag gift.
