k well happened today, i got off work and was in the mood to detect, there was not much day light left so i picked a road and found a vollyball court. i doubted i would find anything there since its winter but what the heck, gave it a shot. i got my md out of the trunk and started sweeping. in like 1 min i got a hit, dug in the cold sand and out came a watch. i was like whoa!!! then i read it and was like holy ****. i took off so quick to get in the safety of my car i almost forgot my md;) i kept looking at it on the way home. well, i called all my friends and they were like no way, one said it might be a replica. i was like no way its too heavy and the second hand almost sweeps it ticks so fast. so i research the web and find there a number of things about fake rolex's. the first thing i did was remove the watch band to check for a serial number. there was NONE ...... crap crap crap. so im under the impression that its fake, but either way its a AWESOME watch, GREAT quality. there are a few things i would like to ask. what would the value a replica rolex be????? it beats the quality of the watches i see at normal stores;) who knows maybe its real ;) ( ya i wish) k, well the housing is stamped 18K. still if its a fake rolex, why not fake the gold too??? the crystal has the rolex symbol etched on the inside right above MADE, where it says swiss made. the turning knob is a solid piece and the symbol is NOT glued on. (glued is a sign of fake) also there is a ruber washer on the turning knob on a real one, there is none on this one. on the back it is clear. i heard rolex has never made a watch with a clear back. under the glass you can see the pendelum thing, its stamped rolex all over. most of the movements look yellow gold. ( its soo pretty ) here is ALL the visible writing on it, on the face- ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL, SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICALLY CERTIFIED, T SWISS MADE T, on the back around the glass on the inside it reads - AUTOMATIC STAINLESS STEEL BACK SWISS MADE WATERPROOF, ROLEX. the clasp on the band has many stampings and reads ROLEX, ROLEXA 750, one stamping has a diamond with a womans head facing left inside the diamond and a scroll with A750A below it, there is a 8385, and GENEVE SWISSMADE 18K . so if anyone has some info on this thing can you help out. not to be greedy here , but espicially the "value" of it??????????? im heart broken its not real.
p.s. i have been to mexico and seen some cheap "rolex" watches and this is not one of them, these people really tried hard
p.s.s. i will be watching for lost watch ads in the paper too

sorry about the picks, our other cam is still in the shop, if needed i can take some more, thanks all!!!!

Looks real I would take it to a watch shop thats has other rolexes and ask them to check it out. And if it is real get it in writing then you can sell it on ebay for what its really worth.

Does it work? and does the second hand gracefully sweep or does it tick - tick - tick. If it ticks it could be a fake. Take it to a jeweler to find out.

thanks guys, yes it works, i couldnt have been there to long cause no rust. also i was surprised it worked cause i think it charges on momentium, and if it had been there awhile , well there is no momentium. the hand seems to sweep, at a glance but if u carefully look it is ticking very fast. i tried counting the ticks compared to the watch i wear and its about 4-5 ticks to the 1 tick on my watch.

In a former life (a mere 4 years ago) wifey bought me a Yachtmaster ;D - got a bit hard up later on and sold it.

I sure hope it turns out to be the real thing for you! Just by glancing, you can tell if it's real - look closely at the second hand, it should move around the face in one fluid motion...not tic-tic-tic...also, under the bezel, near the bottom, look for a stamped serial number, then look at the serial number closely, it should have very sharp, distinct and sharp angles on the letters and numbers, no rounded edges or un-eveness.

THANKS FOR SHARING!

Please keep us posted on it. I hope its the real deal. If so. That's a mighty fine Swiss feather
in your cap!
Even if its a knock off, It's still a pretty cool thing to find. ;)
