Grandfather’s Rolex(?) collection

[golfski]

Hey All - would love some opinions and info on a few watches my grandfather had, which now my grandmother has for safe keeping. I am pretty sure one is real while a few are definitely fake and a couple I just don’t know about (Cellini). None of these I’m looking to sell, just want some more info so I can separate the fakes from real and get to know the real one(s).

This first one, there seem to be legit papers and receipt that match the model but I’m unsure how to match the serial number. I wound it and it started ticking.




The definite fakes (feels extremely light and plasticy)



Finally there’s a Cellini that I’m not sure about and a quartz (still running). I’m assuming fake, but wanted to make sure.

The DJ would have the serial number under the bracelet against the case.

I think the 16233 is real, the rest are counterfeits..

Thank you! Curious why this was moved to this specific classified section? I’m not looking to sell, just looking for info on them. It’s totally fine, just curious to learn the forum rules and proper etiquette. I assume it’s because of the fakes? If I wanted to ask more questions on the assumed real one, is that ok to post in the general or vintage sub forum?

That’s my thought as well, I wasn’t sure on the all gold Cellini but assumed because the bracelet is extremely rigid and crown is weird.

It was moved to the "watch out" section, because it dealt with fake watches.

The "watch out" section is not a for sale section.


Yes, you could post the original watch in the "vintage Rolex" section.

With the 'R' serial number, your OPD is from 1987, same as mine.

All fake apart from first watch which looks to be genuine.

Only the date just is original

No, the Watch Out Forum is not for fakes, even though most of yours are.

The Watch Out Forum is for the Forum experts and enthusiasts to evaluate potential on-line purchases and heirlooms, and provide feedback to the Original Poster about their watch. This is what you were asking for.

TRF does not have a Forum for fakes.

Thanks for the info! Again, was only curious...I posted in the General section assuming that’s where I’d get the most eyes on it.
