🔍 Authenticity Assessment

❌ Strong Indicators This Is NOT a Genuine Rolex:

Feature

Analysis

Battery-operated movement

Real Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches use automatic movements, not quartz battery-powered.

Engraved case back

Most Rolex models have a smooth, unengraved stainless steel back. The “Winner Rolex 24 Daytona 1992” caseback is typical of replicas.

No serial/model numbers

Genuine Rolex watches have a model number between the lugs at 12 o’clock and a serial number at 6 o’clock (under the bracelet). The absence is a red flag.

Plastic wrap still on bracelet

Rolex watches are usually sold without plastic on the band, especially not low-grade plastic wraps. This is typical of aftermarket fakes.

Price

$35 is far below even the cost of a damaged Rolex. Real Rolex watches start at several thousand dollars.

✅ Recommendations

🔎 1. Confirm with a Professional Appraiser or Jeweler

To be 100% certain, take the watch to:

  • A certified watchmaker
  • A Rolex-authorized service center
  • Or an appraiser with horology experience

They can:

  • Open the caseback to check the movement
  • Examine serial/model engraving
  • Test metal content

🛡️ 2. If You're Curious About Material

Ask for a metal test to determine if it's gold-plated or brass.

📌 Final Verdict

Your watch is almost certainly a replica or novelty piece modeled after a Rolex design — specifically a commemorative "Winner Rolex 24 Daytona 1992" style. It is not a genuine Rolex, and its value is purely decorative or nostalgic.
