Can't find the serial or model number. Can someone please help?

I was given a Rolex Explorer II with a black face. I would like to sell it but don't have the original paper work that goes with it and I want to make sure it is real before I put it on the market. There are no pins that connect the band to the bezel. The only number numbers I see are on the band towards the bezel and they say 69623 and above it what appears to be engraved reads 455H or 455M it's kind of hard to make out. So if someone could please help me I would be very greatful. Thanks. Jeff.

Did you check the rehaut for the serial number, the inner ring around the outside of the dial under the crystal where it says rolexrolexrolex...? Look at the 6 o'clock position.

I believe the model number is between the lugs on the side of the case at 12 o'clock. Try the underside to access the pins.

I see the pins on the under side of the bezel but I don't know how to get to them. The band is on top of them and there's a metal pice below them. The only way i can see to access them is bend the under metal piece but I'm not doing that.

The watch is a fake have never seen a 16570 with a trip lock crown, plus clasp dial etc that's why it was moved from the Rolex watch forum by myself.
