Yes it could be 18K and fake. Amazing how silly some people are.

refering to fake watches not you Andrew.LOL

Sorry Andrew, but the watch is a blatant fake. I'm no Super Expert on Rolex watches. But there are certain ways to tell. And that watch is checking off a couple of the "blatant" boxes.

Is that not a 'Masterpiece' bracelet?

[subkrawler]

Wrong. all wrong. Wrong bezel, bracelet, crown, dial, hands and that's just based on what is observable in the pictures.

Square markers, snowflake hands, blue bezel...looks more like a Tudor Sub than anything else.

Something about it just doesn't look right. But the face of the watch is what makes it a blatant fake.

From the horribly blurry pic the OP posted, the hour hand looks more like an arrow than a snowflake. Something similar to what one would find on a Citizen BM6400 model.

Can't even remotely make out which name is at the top of the dial. Though if it did say "Tudor," I don't think the OP's friend would be calling it a Rolex.
