Hi everyone,
i have recently acquired this Day-date rolex off my grandfather, i would love to know more about it and if it was real.
thank you.

Looks like a bad fake to me. Overall quality is off and that day window was never that small even on the oldest refs

bad fake. Chuck it in the trash.

The gold plating is wearing out on the edges of the bracelet, the ends of the bracelet (not sure of the technical name) between the lugs are a terrible fit. Sure signs that this is a fake.

yeah i just thought its pretty old so it might have some wear but yeah

I met a guy who wears his granddads old Rolex... he found out it was fake, and was bummed. He still wears it, and has enjoyed it for years. He also wonders if his granddad knew it was fake...

I am blessed with a real one, from my granddad! I Love It!

Fake. Plating coming off the back of the lugs. SS Case Back?

Even if he beat original DD for 50years it still would never make that caseback steel and day window small

Day cut-out is hilarious. Grandpa must have had good eyes. Must have been a nightmare of a retirement watch.

Al1969 · 10 June 2018, 03:29 PM

Give it back to your Grandfather.

lyktestolpe · 10 June 2018, 07:58 PM

Don’t think your grandfather likes you if he gave you that

Did grandparents actually buy this junk, thinking it was real, or did they just want their friends to think they knew horology?

You can't be grandfathered from that piece of crap!

AmbSteve · 11 June 2018, 03:29 PM

Absolutely horrible even at first glance. Why would you take this garbage from your grandfather as you described?
