Help to identify Rolex perpetual oyster datejust

[jenxie]

Dear members,

I bought this watch as a present from a private seller. Would want to be sure since it is a present. Would you please help me to identify it and let me what grade it is. I don't want to be the case that I bought a fake or it is genuine but "rubbish". thanks a million!

Best Regards,

Jen

Don't know. Dial aftermarket?

Possibly a Model 6917 case.

Check the reference numbers at the 12 and 6 o'clock..

Thank you for coming back to me. I have not got the watch yet. The seller said the s/n is XXX308, ca. 1970. diameter 25mm, thikhness 10mm.

Best Regards,

The watch arrived. it has R2617XX at 6 o'clock and 69173 at 12 o'clock. TimeToGo was right on the Model.

So it was made around 1987? not as what the seller said ca.1970?

It also has a problem that it runs 5 seconds faster for every 1 minute.

Initially when I tried to wind it, almost made the whole movement vibrate and the dial moved a little. After a couple of winds, the resistant reduced and it was fine, easy to wind. Is this strange?

I will have to bring it to the watchmaker to get it checked out.

Thanks,

Jen

Yes, get it checked out. You usually should with vintage watches unless there is documented proof of a recent service.
