<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 398, member: 30&quot;]Bev, your thread has inspired me to pull what I believe to be my old (probably fake) Rolex ladies watch that I bought as part of contents of a jewelry box decades ago. Mine also has &quot;Oyster Perpetual&quot; along with the &quot;diamonds&quot; and some more words too small for me to see. Mine is from the era when titanium and gold were combined to be the design. I used to wear this watch periodically and would have thought I&#039;d find scratches somewhere on mine from use wear but no scratches anywhere from use so mine is probably just a &quot;good&quot; fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>For unknown reasons my winder knob is stuck in position, perhaps the old battery corroded and damaged the spindle inside? idk. I&#039;ve always thought mine was a fake copy circa 1980s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago we had a Rolex store in a nearby upscale shopping center and I walked in ONCE to have the salesman show me a real ladies&#039; Rolex. I didn&#039;t have mine with me, but I thought just as well because the salesman was so pushy that he&#039;d have probably told me mine was a fake even if it was real - just to try to make a sale! heh</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT THE ROLEX LADIES WATCHES STYLED THAT YEAR WERE LARGER AND VERY HEAVY and for price of $18k I walked out thinking: it would exhaust my arm muscles to wear a real Rolex! </p><p><br /></p><p>It surely would have exhausted my pocketbook to pay that much money for a watch!</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes I think mine&#039;s a fake. I&#039;ve now tossed mine into my small pile of inexpensive watches that need batteries so I can see if it can have a new battery installed when I take them all to a jeweler to get new ones put in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot explain why I believe yours to be real but I do.</p><p>Please let us know what you discover.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
