Ive got a suspicion it may be a knock-off. It's difficult to tell 100% due to the st photo but can you see the difference in spacing between the bezel markers either side of the 10? A couple of years back they made them like this on purpose so you could tell them apart from the real ones. Newer ones aren't quite so easy to spot. Here is a DSD with the same marker discrepancy:

Really? I was air duvet at Stonehouse. Who do you know? Pete Harvey, Sax, Mo Drysdale etc?

Don't sell watches really, not unless I get them in second hand or on commission. I do have access to Rolex stock through a local dealer though.
