Any ideas?

if it's real it will have a serial # that is traceable through Rolex, take it to a reputable jeweler

What's going on with the back?

There is a Rolex hologram on the back.

What's the model number for that one? Should be on the back by the serial number.

Inside? Cause I see no visible numbers other than the 18K.

If you see no numbers anywhere on the back I think you're in trouble. Why is the back blue?

I think if the second hand stops after each second it is real, I think on the fake one the second hand sweeps. I was told this once.

That used to be the way but not necessarily now. There's plenty of fakes on youtube where the hand runs smooth.

The blue is a hologram

I have two fakes I bought in NYC. They both have hologram stickers on the back with a number on them but no number engraved in the metal.

I wish I knew enough to help but don't. I'd be amazed if it was real though.

Do you have a diamond tester? That would be an easy way to check. The case not being engraved I think gives the answer though.

No diamond tester. But if worse comes to worse I will wear and say its real.

didn't you know Rolex puts a personal flotation device inside their watches ?

That's great news. Now it just needs to warm up enough to go swimming.

Then again if it is real, I can sell it and afford to go somewhere warn now.
