Tough question as the counterfeiters are getting better and better. First check the case and band. Rolex used stainless steel , gold or platinum. Many fakes are plated, base metal which doesn't look the same as the real thing. If the seconds hand hesitates at each tick, it is 99.9% sure to be fake. Check between the watchband lugs on the watch. The serial number will be between the 6:00 lugs and the case (model) number will be between the 12:00 lugs. The only sure way is to take the back off and look at the movement. Best left to the professionals
