I am new to watch collecting and it all started when I was given this watch, a dual tone Rolex Daytona.

Now, I don’t care if it’s fake I would like to keep it all the same but if the person who gifted me this watch did pay full price for it thinking it was real, I would like to pursue some legal action of sorts.

But before any of that, I would like to ask you guy’s opinion, is this movement real?

    As a general rule of thumb, I don’t think Rolex ever used plastic movement spacers in their watches. I have never personally seen one. Also, gold with an 18k stamp is required to have hallmarks and makers stamps is required by law in Switzerland (and many other countries). So if there isn’t a hallmark on a relatively modern Swiss gold watch, it isn’t real. As for the movement, it’s likely a Chinese movement of some sort.
