    Rolex with display back?

    now i have a mate who is into watches, and he has a FAKE rolex which has a display back, my comment was that no rolex has ever had a display back apart from maybe a few customised models, now his and his families reply was that there are models with display backs, this is untrue i am sure??? or am i wrong??? both male or female variants as well chaps please :)
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    there are 2 Rolexes in existence with factory display backs that I am aware of. Other than that, there are those out there with aftermarket display backs.

    99% of the display back Rolexes you'll encounter will likely be fakes

    would him or his family be the type to own a Rolex?

    Best thing is to forget the back and move onto another part of the watch face etc and prove your point if possible !

    But its a lot better to move on and forget. No one likes to be made a fool

    From memory, one did once go through the auction houses with one fitted,:-

    after that this will be aftermarket.

    clearly the family are horologists......

    There have been several examples produced by Rolex with glazed display backs, but these are special watches.

    The only glass back "production" watch is the Rolex Prince Cellini...

    Fakes with display backs are very common.
