Default ??? How can I tell the dif. real Rolex and replica ???

I bought a "rolex" for $1,350.00 It is pre-owned. I bought it as a genuine,
but could still be real good replica. I cannot see the serial # on the back,
but I know that at the begining, rolex would put them inside the back case.
Is this true? On each end of the band where it meets the case, it has a 5
digit #, this is the model #, am I right? Thanks for any help I can get.


Rolex puts their serial number between the lugs on the case. If you want to
be sure, my recomendation is to get your wallet out and take it to a
watchmaker.

Serial number is between the lugs on the 6 side, model # on the 12 side.
Bracelet should be stamped Rolex with all the appropriate signage. Take it
to a watchmaker, it will probably need a COA anyway...
