Oh right, yes, crap Rolex. Yeah that doesn't quite look legit. It looks as though someone has picked off lume dots with a butter knife!!

I believe it's genuine but it does have some down falls. Regaurding the dial to me it looks genuine. But l think some years ago someone relumed the hour dots and did a shit job. If you look closer on the 12 o'clock rolex crown there appears to be what looks like lume at the bottom. I don't thinks it's the pics playing light because it's in a couple different shots/angles. So maybe the pervious owner also wanted a "12 o'clock" dot. The case size looks correct and so does the crown. The roulette date wheel is also correct for a 6494. As well as the movement is period correct for that stamped year and model. The other thing is the crystal. The height is correct but I can't tell from the pics if the crystal edges are beveled or straight cut.

Shame has a shitty caliber, would have been worth it with a 1030 etc..
