Is Jacqui Burfoot's Rolex real? Controversial Married At First Sight bride shows off her luxury watch - but not everyone is convinced
Jacqui Burfoot has showed off her glamorous watch in an new Instagram Stories post.
The Married At First Sight star bride pictured her gold Rolex watch, and even tagged the brand.
However eagle eyed fans of the upmarket brand have noted that all may not be what it seems, with some believing the watch may be a dupe, or copy, of the real thing.
Ladies watches from Rolex in similar designs detail anywhere from $8,000 to $16,000 - and up.
However copies that resemble Jaqui's watch can be found on discount sites that offer copies of popular brands for as little as $54.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Jacqui Burfoot for comment.
It comes after the reality star was caught red-handed making a rather embarrassing online gaffe.
Jacqui, 29, became known as one of the most controversial brides in recent MAFS memory due to her tumultuous relationship with ex-Ryan Donnelly.
She was recently busted posing as her own number one fan by a fellow Married At First Sight star.
Harrison Boon, who starred on the 2023 season, took to TikTok this week to call out the jewellery maven for supporting her own fan funding campaign.
'She's [Jacqui] downloaded this app called Buy Me A Coffee,' Harrison began the clip.
Continuing, the reality star gave viewers the low-down on the platform, explaining that it was a 'fun and easy' way for fans to support their favorite stars.
'Fans being the important word here,' Harrison added cheekily.
He then went on to share a screenshot of Jacqui's Buy Me A Coffee page which is calling for a minimum donation of $8 - a tad higher than the national average of $5.50 for a cup of joe.
It appears that Jacqui's coffee request has not resonated with fans.
At the time of publishing, the page only had one follower - Jacqui herself.
'Jacqui has downloaded the app where her fans can buy her a coffee. But no one would buy Jacqui a coffee for $8 because, who in their right mind would,' Harrison said.
Harrison then pointed out that Jacqui herself had commented on the page in an effort to drum up hype.
'So, Jacqui decided to become a supporter of herself and what did Jacqui's message to herself say, you might ask?' he said.
'Jacqui writes, in the third person, to herself, "Thank you for all the laughs. You were our favourite bride of all time. Never a dull moment."'
Barely able to contain his laughter, Harrison added that this incident may just be the tipping point for the controversial reality star.
Jacqui's funding faux pas comes after she and fiancé Clint Rice revealed intimate details about when they plan on tying the knot, as well as exciting baby news.
The happy couple, who got engaged during a MAFS viewing party early last month, took to Instagram to answer some burning questions from their fans.
When one follower asked if the pair had set a wedding date, Jacqui revealed they are hoping to tie the knot early next year, before revealing they are already talking about having children.
'We haven't set a wedding date yet, but we're hoping it will be between January and March next year,' she said as the couple sat on their couch together in Clint's lavish Tasmanian home.
'We're actually ready for kids and babies. Personally, I want to get married before I get pregnant. I don't want to be dealing with the drama of being pregnant and having a wedding dress be altered throughout my pregnancy.
'We're very keen to get married ASAP.'
