What model Rolex is this?

[Frank R]

Need help identifying this Rolex. Is it genuine?
Thanks

No, it isn't a Rolex, sorry.

Very rare Japanese movement edition. Highly sought after collectible.

Because it says “Japan,” and Rolex is Swiss, I gonna say ‘fake.’

Yes, this is obviously a genuine worthless thing.

And to be honest, I've never seen a cheap fake that not only doesn't look like as a Rolex, but the counterfeiter didn't even bother to at least erase the writings from the dial that this thing has a Japan Quartz movement...

Nice. I think if this came up for auction today, I would estimate it to be worth at least $0.25 and possibly as much as $0.35. I would put its insurance replacement value at approximately $0.50 to $0.60.

Around 1970 Rolex was getting hit with high tariffs in Japan. I believe they had a theory that if they established a presence in Japan, they could mitigate the tariffs. I really don't have knowledge of what happened, but I'm sure some really knowledgeable Rolex historian could enlighten us.

I only noticed Rolex used Beta 21 quartz movement back in the days , never heard or read they used Japan movt.

whats the ref# in between the lugs? higher definition images also go a long way towards a successful authentication btw.

[sski]

does the engravings between the lugs have chinese language engravings? (or turkish script?) might be a Chinatown or Istanbul special edition

Wow... Usually these finicky authenticity questions are way beyond me, but at last there's one even I can figure out!

I’m convinced Larry drafts like 7 versions of a more animated response then takes a deep breath and says to himself : ‘Larry, you’re a Mod. You can’t say that. Set an example. You go high when others go low. Just answer the question and make the world a better place.’
