Father in Law’s Rolex - Genuine or Fake?

[linesiders]

Dangit, People? This is the vintage forum, there are numerous tells that it is at least mostly legit. From the bezel, to the crown to the case shape.

I see an old beat up genuine datejust with the original engine turned bezel, original crown, original 62510 bracelet with some stretch, and a typical crappy aftermarket dial.
Not sure why everyone is dismissing it so quickly. Shrugs.

The engine turned bezel to my knowledge has never been faked in any decent way - and a bunch of other stuff is telling me that the watch is likely gen - but the aftermarket dial can mean something crazy has gone on - like a water damaged movement being replaced with an eta or something. So - step one get us some shots of the engravings on the case, step two see a watch maker to pop the back off and show us hopefully a 1570.
