Classic story - Found an old Rolex while cleaning. Is this legit?

7127 Views 73 Replies 65 Participants Last post by  Hassanalt
We're doing a deep clean and there were old boxes from many moves ago. I believe this would be my grandfather's watch. No idea the date. I have never seen a bezel like this, making me think it is fake. Any help would be appreciated.

That was my thought too! Thanks for the confirmation!
c'mon!!! you already know the answer to that....

it's like pointing to a fiat panda and asking if it's a porsche 911 turbo... all porsche's look the same, all rolex look the same.

dress, yachtmaster, datejust, submariner, daytona, presidential, explorer, oysterquartz, oyster perpetual, that's it.

1000% legit. Sent it to eBay verification they will certify it.

Caseback reference number points to this vintage Seiko quartz watch. Your find just has a fake Rolex dial.

Ironically it looks like a pretty good example of the Seiko, judging by the bezel and case. Shame about the fake dial.

That compass bezel though! :D
... making me think it is fake.
I feel naive thinking OP's disclaimer was going to head off comments giving him grief for asking about it, here in the ROLEX & TUDoR FAKE BUSTERS forum...

Does any other brand have their own subforum dedicated entirely to fakes? Must be the most faked brand ever huh?
Things went South with that watch.
