Does this Rolex look OK?
Ordered online. They sent me the wrong one, but even so, something doesn't feel right. Anything here stand out as obviously wrong?

It's hard to read the case etchings but it looks like the 12 o'[clock says:

ORG ROLEX DESIGN
16013

and the 6 o'clock says:

STAINLESS STEEL
R_________


Thank you in advance!

Wrong one, wow. looks possibly late 1980's, two tone datejust . From my perspective it looks fine. What exactly doesn't "feel" fine?

And also as a note, the lugs are a little thin so don’t pay premium

Dial looks reworked or aftermarket to me!

The word "Swiss" looks off to me.

Sometimes it's the photos that make the writing look off... hard to confirm without high quality zoomed in photos.... however, this dial would not be period correct... I would lean towards an aftermarket dial just based on this... case and bracelet look good... 16013s had thinner cases to begin with... this case looks about average...

I agree angles can make dials look incorrect.
However based on a few points, I do not believe this is original

That might help explain the hour & minute hands that belong with a T marked dial.
