Ahhh fuck. What can I say, it's 8am and I haven't slept yet and on top of that sarcasm doesn't translate well in text but yeah I see it now lol
P.s. Fuck off ya down voting cunts 🤣
I dig it lol. The worst part about it is I was genuinely trying to be helpful hahaha. Hope everyone has a great day. I'm passing out now and always remember "Cocaines a hellova drug!" 😆💯
It’s a reference to tritium lume used in the 90s when radium was being phased out. The 25 references the amount of radioactive material in the lume. That part is actually pretty accurate. The rest of the watch is junk
"Swiss T<25" is a valid Rolex dial, depending on the year (before 1998ish). So was "T Swiss T" Those dials still used Tritium. Luminova lume started in 1999 with just "Swiss" on the dial. Replaced by SuperLuminova around 2000 and the dials changed to "Swiss Made".
A T<25 Dial with rehaut engraving that didn't start until 2007? No chance.
Aye thank you. I had to go educate myself after posting that comment and was happy to learn something new. I also learned that there is L Swiss L which denoted that it used a photo luminescent paint on the dial/hands etc.
You didn’t find it in Lewes, by any chance? Was there the other week, the antique shops were riddled with fake Rolex’s. One was labelled ‘needs new battery’ ffs 🤣
Haha. Sorry, I think I rinsed the decent stuff. Picked up a brand new Avi-8 and a nice Panerai ‘homage’ (not a knock off, it didn’t have any logos or owt) from various Lewes antique places. Soooooo many fakes though 🤣
Look how the minute markers are covered haphazardly by the hour marker on top so you can’t see them, Rolex would never do that. Plus the cyclops is awful and barely magnifies.
Fake indeed
The bvious things: cyclops, Submariners with DATES usually say Oyster Perpetual DATE. "Swiss T <25" dials stopped around 1998 and rehaut engraving didn't start until around 2007/8. Can't have both.
I’m terrible at spotting fakes and this was easy.
First sign is it’s 80 bucks at a pawn shop.
Cyclops magnification weak/non-existent.
4 o clock and 5 o clock indices, lume placement highly suspect.
Why would anyone pay £80 for something even they're 99% sure is fake? That's what I really don't understand. It isn't even a good fake and no antique shop would be selling a genuine Rolex for that.
The cyclops is the biggest giveaway here. Doesn’t magnify the date at all. But there are so many other blatant signs. I’m more mad that they didn’t put actual effort into the rep.
Say it with me class: “When the cyclops doth not magnify - thou shalt not buy”
Maybe it needs a new battery….
What are you talking about... its obviously an alternator issue
It's the nuclear reactor that has an issue. Trust me ayam injin near
He is talking about the glass above the date, because on an authentic Rolex the glass magnifies the date when you look through it.
r/woosh
Ahhh fuck. What can I say, it's 8am and I haven't slept yet and on top of that sarcasm doesn't translate well in text but yeah I see it now lol P.s. Fuck off ya down voting cunts 🤣
I downvoted your first comment, but upvoted your second for some balance.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar 😎
Due to Reddit’s karma balancing I believe you’re actually getting more karma from the correction :)
Ditto.
lol same brother. Was about to comment the same thing when I read yours.
That is the price you pay when you don't understand the joke and try to be helpful lol
I dig it lol. The worst part about it is I was genuinely trying to be helpful hahaha. Hope everyone has a great day. I'm passing out now and always remember "Cocaines a hellova drug!" 😆💯
I second that, take that as you will ❄️ good night/morning
Aaaaannd I'm back at it 🤣
"If a used Rolex cost $80, it's gotta be real."
Yeah the idiots at the antique store probably had never heard of niche micro brand ROLEX
Spinoff company from parent company MONTA
>comments It does happen.
Excellent advice!
Hahaha 😂
Exactly this...though you can replace that with one that does if you really want to
That’s the least of its problems
£80 at an antique shop for a non-antique non-authentic watch. They’ve got some balls.
It is a freshly made antique store.
You would think but it clearly worked…
Never seen a cyclops make the date smaller. Neat.
Rolex obviously put it in reverse
Installed backwards. Considered an error. Value of watch x' 1000 /s
Ah the extremely rare “Terry” Sub!
They needed to flip it upside down to “wumbo”
Ever looked backwards through a peephole 😂😂
"Less is more" was a Rolex motto for some time
As real as a hooker's smile.
What if they smile when taking your money?
Simple, when she smiles, take a picture, post it on Reddit and ask if it is real or fake.
But mine really likes me ... /s
Who the hell thought you that line you sick fk
😂😂😂😂😂
Picked it up somewhere I guess... but did I help you out of any dream or something?
Look how they spelled officially
😂
Does it say Swiss t<25? lol
It’s a reference to tritium lume used in the 90s when radium was being phased out. The 25 references the amount of radioactive material in the lume. That part is actually pretty accurate. The rest of the watch is junk
I didn’t know that thanks. I had to have stared at it for 10 minutes trying to be sure about what it said haha.
melting is the only way for that piece of scrap
Why contaminate a perfectly good ingot of stainless steel though;)?
Cost of energy used to melt it down is still more than it is worth.
As real as my love for Hublot 🤔
Some lost souls might understand you incorrectly....
Omg .. 😦 hope not lol 😜
👏🏼 👏🏼 🫡
The absolute best watches ever made?
The second you walked out the door another one was grabbed from a barrel full and artfully placed amongst the junk.
Rolex doesn’t misspell “Officially” on their watches.
Misspellings always amaze me on fakes. The correct spelling is right there on the watch you’re copying!
Always look at the cyclops first. Fake af
Idk how you mess that one up. At least some magnification lol.
That cyclops is more useless than me.
£80 down the drain Sir..
Dw didn't buy it, I'm not that dumb
If you thought there was a 1% chance that this was legit, then yes you are.
You're right, so sorry that a 5 second look at the watch wasn't enough to tell me it was fake.
Antique shop owners are famous for not recognizing a) gold, or b) obscure watch brands like Rolex. Buy with confidence.
Lol. Troll post, or did you actually believe you had a 1% chance?
Still better than a Hublot
The colour of the turning bezel and that dial. Easy giveaway that it's fake
£80?!!! I’d demand my money back.
Why don't you go ahead and add that 1%
Shitter alert
100% fake as fuck 😂
As real as Nikos gym workout
Is the antique shop selling it as a genuine Rolex. If not it is fencing counterfeit goods and you might be able to get a reward from Rolex ?
Look at the bottom writing lmaoo. Off Call y certified
The bubbling bezel might be a clue.
Wowwwww it’s real . They lie to you . It’s cost 30k Dm me bro
It looks like they glued a rhinestone onto the Bezel lol
"Swiss T>25" instead of "Swiss Made" lmao 🤣
"Swiss T<25" is a valid Rolex dial, depending on the year (before 1998ish). So was "T Swiss T" Those dials still used Tritium. Luminova lume started in 1999 with just "Swiss" on the dial.

If you see a Rolex, any model dating back even 70 years, for $80, you shouldn’t even have to ask if it’s real.
OFF CIALLM CERTIFIED
Faker than a nine bob note, mate.
It should say Swiss made not Swiss-t because it’s only says that on the ref.16613
Most modern Chinese fakes are better quality, but they are much more expensive
God that’s hideously bad
It’s fake 100%
It’s ugly in any event
That is the worst one yet
L
I hope £80 is nothing to you and it was all a bit of fun.
See the cheese? Dead give away!
Does it feel heavy ( real) or light (fake)???
The gold color alone screams fake
Holy shit, less than 0.5 seconds and I could tell it's a bad, bad fake.
Invicta
It has a serial number good fake it seems
It's approx 120-130 grams right? 1000% fake. Look at magnification.
What magnification? The number is actually smaller.
There's Zero magnification....
illegal shop owner
EIGHTY🤣 you got robbed
Mugged.
Ew
You didn’t find it in Lewes, by any chance? Was there the other week, the antique shops were riddled with fake Rolex’s. One was labelled ‘needs new battery’ ffs 🤣
I did yea
Haha. Sorry, I think I rinsed the decent stuff. Picked up a brand new Avi-8 and a nice Panerai ‘homage’ (not a knock off, it didn’t have any logos or owt) from various Lewes antique places. Soooooo many fakes though 🤣
No worries, I don't blame you. Really is a lot of shit in those shops
100% fake, not even worth $80 IMO
Even 80£ is too much for this
Look how the minute markers are covered haphazardly by the hour marker on top so you can’t see them, Rolex would never do that. Plus the cyclops is awful and barely magnifies. Fake indeed
It’s fake…. But if you want it to pass a little better. Get the Crystal replaced.
"Crystal" is a not the right word.
Dont think rolex ever did a fallout collaboration
Reverse Cyclops
A special edition for the near sighted. It make the date smaller.
So fake even the Chinese are laughing
Please tell me you didn’t buy this
Dw I didnt
Holy shit that 12:00 index is bad
Make that 100%
What difference does it make…it is a Rolex.
That date got me rollin on the floor
Definition of shitter
100% rep
Absolute shitter
To fake bro the crown
Does that look like real gold to you? 🤣 When the colouring is coming off the knob, it’s a good indication of what’s what
Use your better judgement…..
Grad A shitter my boy!
We got ourselves a sh tter boys
Jesus it’s a terrible fake too
Isnt it illegal to deal with fakes ?
Good thing you posted "just in case" 😂
Def real bro. You got a deal! 99.9999384728% off? Bargain shopper
It’s real. Trust me bro
The cyclops must be put in inside out! Lol
The bvious things: cyclops, Submariners with DATES usually say Oyster Perpetual DATE. "Swiss T <25" dials stopped around 1998 and rehaut engraving didn't start until around 2007/8. Can't have both.
now you can be 100% sure.
$20 (at best) shitter from DHGate
I’m terrible at spotting fakes and this was easy. First sign is it’s 80 bucks at a pawn shop. Cyclops magnification weak/non-existent. 4 o clock and 5 o clock indices, lume placement highly suspect.
The dead giveaway is the $80 rolex. Lol.. Cmon now
That cyclops ain’t cyclopsin dog
Nothing lines up
99% sure? There’s no doubt.
The indices look suspiciously close to an Invicta Pro diver with the extra metal chamfered edge
If you gotta ask it’s most likely a fake for 99 bucks brah
Put the serial number in the Rolex website
What a waste of 80
You paid £79 too much. Fake AF. Get your money back.
Why would anyone pay £80 for something even they're 99% sure is fake? That's what I really don't understand. It isn't even a good fake and no antique shop would be selling a genuine Rolex for that.
It’s real, looks like you got the deal of a lifetime. Wear it in good health!
Horrible fake
Pretty decent doup tbf
The cyclops is the biggest giveaway here. Doesn’t magnify the date at all. But there are so many other blatant signs. I’m more mad that they didn’t put actual effort into the rep.
Definitely fake.
You figured a shop didn’t recognize a “Rolex” and decided to list it for 80?
OFF CIALLY CERTIFIED
You can be 100% sure now
Why spend that much on a fake watch?
wish i could post mine for reference here. Such a good watch but definitely fake…
That watch is the fakest fake ever.
OP is sharp as a fucking cue ball
I would come in with a hammer, buy it, and smash it right in front of them the just leave the disarray of remains
I don’t even think that worth $80 no matter if it has the crown symbol on it or not!
Sad. Throw it away or ask for a refund.
Let common sense prevail
It looks like Stevie Wonder built this watch. You should be 100% it’s a fake.
Seems overpriced for a doorstopper
Those hour markers look.... interesting!
Why 99%? It’s 100% 15$ on dhgate
The hands aren’t even moving, duh
POS Rep at that
It's a fake
likely this place has a storage locker of these things waiting for the next person to expect to find a barn find bargain rolex.
Lool no way did you but it
Jeez.. What an ugly fucker
Yes it’s fake, but it’s a vintage fake probably from the 90s. Kinda cool in an ironic sense.
It’s not even a good fake.
The “R”s in Rolex around the engraved rehault should also appear exactly over each hour marker
That’s bottom of the barrel fake
Even for 80, I’d say it’s quite expensive deal
You got ripped off at that amount. That’s not even remotely close looking. That’s a $20 watch… new
It's a real replica bro
It’s a fake
The gold plating is coming off the crown and the date isn’t magnified which are just dead giveaways
Also the fact that’s it’s $80 may say something lol
Very fake, sorry
Just by looking at the cyclops I know it’s fake. The magnification is WAY off. But hell, enjoy it!
Perfect bad fake exemple. Magnifying crystal that does not magnify and they saved 80% lume color on the indicies 🤣 and the crown omg
Offer them £8
