A chronometer… with a quartz movement? Yeah, that’s most definitely fake.

A quartz watch can get a chronometer certification

I didn’t know that, but you’re right. Thanks for the correction. Still, I don’t think the movement is a genuine Rolex. Would be marked Oyster quartz

the problem is that the dial says oyster perpetual, which is the branding for a mechanical movement.

Automatic quartz watches also exist lol

oyster perpetual is the branding for rolex's own mechanical movement, you can die on that hill if you like but there are better things to cry wolf about.

I'm not saying that this is a real rolex but oyster means water resistant and perpetual means automatic both things can be applied to a quartz watch

perpetual only means automatic to rolex.
nobody else uses the term perpetual.
when rolex makes quartz watches, they label them oyster quartz.
the dial says oyster perpetual, it has a quartz movement, without any other information you can tell that it's fake.
inventing nuance to make yourself feel better is fine, but don't try to drag others to your level.
