Hi

Do you guys know anything about Rolex watches? Perhaps I can get this one for a good price. The serial number seems to be real. Can you see if the whole watch is real and not a fake? See the pics. Thanks in advance.

Looks real to me, but can't tell if it's franken.

Thanks, but what does "franken" mean?

Made up from more than one watch. Derived from Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.

I'm no expert on either Rolex or vintage watches so can't comment if it's genuine.

:yeahthat Often referred to as a Frankenwatch, meaning it's composed of parts from different genuine watches. Not fake, but not a correct representation of a genuine model.
