<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 394224, member: 255"]What am I missing people? The bezel is discolored. If it’s gold, them it must be gold. Sorry OP but I agree that it’s not genuine for all the issues already mentioned, but with respect, one doesn’t need to take it to a Rolex dealer. Any neighborhood legit jeweler will be able to tell in a minute and I do think you should let a pro look at it but the spacing is wrong compared to mine and the proportions of the window look off-the bubble appears too large. I also don’t see Swiss made on the bottom but I could have missed it. We can all speculate but I know my local jeweler could make a call in a minute or less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve always been told to also check how easily the back pops. Many fakes pop super easily but that’s not something to go by alone. Here’s my stainless midsize from the 90s. I knew it was due for cleaning but after checking this pic I’ll get it in sooner rather than later lol. I know I need a new crystal so I’ve been stalling.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136952[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
