It looks like an 80's two tone DateJust, model 16030. With a 3035 cal quickset movement. BUT the band should also be two tone not SS as this one is, so it would appear to have been swapped at some stage.

Otherwise the watch looks good IMO......

Watch is in general original, original Rolex movement and band , case but its a Frankenstein watch a true 16030 model is a steel only datejust model including the bezel which should be a steel engine turned bezel not a fluted style bezel and definitely not gold as shown.

If it was 2 tone it would have a gold crown...

It looks OK, but, as noted above, the gold fluted bezel is confusing. Is it an 16010 (all SS, but fitted with a gold bezel) or a 16013 (TT SS/14-18kYG) fitted with a plain SS jubilee bracelet? Or is it some other combination? Only the watch case (and the Shadow) know for sure!!!! Whatever, its no big deal to return to original - or leave as is - it actually looks pretty good!

Ok, makes me happy to hear. Bought it on ebay stated as a 16030. I started google-ing it and realized the bezel doesn't match. But it's a 14k fluted which is my favorite looking bezel and a great looking "mod" to the 16030, like someone said, easy to turn back.

16030 should be all steel? juse like this one exept for the bezel, right? 16030 is not a 2tone?

I was more concerned about other parts of the watch not looking right. After reading about all there's ebay comments and knowing about all the hard-for-an-amateur-to-spot fakes. I bought it of a seller with almost 60k selling and a 100% feedback only selling jewlery and watches so that made me for confident in buying from him.

Even the bezel is steel on a 16030. a 16014 has a white gold bezel.

Okay, but the 16014 has a white gold middle on the bracelet two right ? bracelet and bezel, like a two tone watch but just a white gold not yellow.

No, there is no rolexes that have a steel and white gold band centre combination this combo does not exist. 16014 has an all steel band also. Regards.
