Hello,
Please help to figure out if the watch is real or not, also what year it is. The model number is 955XXXX, it has a small crack on the bottom of glass just dont pay attention on it, also if its real is it 14K gold or 18K, thanks

Brian J · 22 January 2012, 11:26 AM

Let me guess it's a "friend's" watch?

Mikhail25 · 22 January 2012, 11:57 AM

What do you mean?? watch is mine, thanks

Rjwareagle · 22 January 2012, 12:07 PM

If you could remove the band that would help a lot

Mikhail25 · 22 January 2012, 12:51 PM

I honestly afraid to do it myself))) but when i took it to AD he did it thats how i know model number, he didnt open them but said it look real to him, anyways will take it to specialist on Monday, thank you

Rjwareagle · 22 January 2012, 12:55 PM

He gave you a serial number not a model number. It looks like a 16013... Just can't tell. Acrylic crystal correct?

Mikhail25 · 22 January 2012, 01:27 PM

Not sure, any ideas on what year it might be? to me its old, 1950s maybe

crowncollection · 22 January 2012, 04:51 PM

16013 model was produced from 1977-1988. Show us the clasp in a photo as rolex made 14k and 18k in this model. Dies the clasp have h14 or h18 engraved after the band number

bronxbombas · 22 January 2012, 05:30 PM

The spacing and font looks off, but difficult to tell given the quality of the pictures.

RolexSA · 22 January 2012, 08:34 PM

Looks good enough with what we can see . Acrylic that's for sure given the type of damage .

bayerische · 22 January 2012, 08:38 PM

I would say it looks to be real, but it's not a 1950's watch. Late seventies as mentioned.

I think these were 14K gold.

Mikhail25 · 23 January 2012, 03:35 AM

I believe band is aftermarket, it says G11 steelinox 62510 H, which is from i read before supposed to be stainless steel no tt, thanks

crowncollection · 23 January 2012, 07:13 AM

correct that is a steel band number

Mikhail25 · 23 January 2012, 09:54 AM

Took it to service today, watch is 100% real, as it was correctly mentioned its 14K 1970s, to clean, polish and to install sapphire crystal glass guy will charge me 200$, have bought the watch for 1500$, so still think it wasnt bad deal. Thanks everybody for comments

oneillba · 23 January 2012, 02:05 PM

Now you have to post some of the "after" photos. We want to see how it turns out.

Mikhail25 · 23 January 2012, 03:07 PM

Of course i will, should take 3-4 days until i have it back, kinda upset that the wrist bad is aftermarket but thats what it is

We see a lot of first time posters on here with their "friends" watches wanting advice, I thought this might be another one. My mistake, sorry.

Your watchmaker is absolutely clueless and I would stay far, far away from him.

The watch is from 1986 and not the 70's and the bracelet should be 18k.

Mikhail25 · 24 January 2012, 04:07 AM

ok thanks for your comment ill double check with someone else as well

Rjwareagle · 24 January 2012, 04:20 AM

maybe the band is real? possible the clasp was replaced.. need to see a side profile of one of the links

Mikhail25 · 24 January 2012, 09:47 AM

As soon as i get the watch back ill post pictures of it and the band, it getting a bit confusing with year it was made

Mikhail25 · 26 January 2012, 04:47 AM

Got the watch back today, thats how it looks now, watch and band appear to be real 14k gold, the clasp most likely was replaced thats why band number stands for stainless steel, still unsure what exact year it is but its all right, thanks for every post they all were really helpful, plus i got my security protecting the watch (see picture)

1340jas · 26 January 2012, 05:58 AM

I'm really sorry to tell you this but that is not a labrador in the last photo..Did you get it on fleebay?

Mikhail25 · 26 January 2012, 06:04 AM

Are you trying to say he is FAKE??!!! lol )))))))))

Did they make bracelets in a combination of white and yellow gold? This bracelet appears to be TT.

OP, was the gold content stated to you to be 14k?
