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

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.

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! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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

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

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

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