Can you all give me a hand in identifying this piece, and if it's all original (it's a 1944 - 1945 year; I believe).

Sorry for the sub par photos.

Thanks in advance

Your pictures aren't good enough to say much.

The Jubilee bracelet was not released until 1945 and was exclusive to the Datejust for many years so I think that your dating is off by a decade.

Tools, thanks. I've requested more pics, clearer and closer. Let me know what you all think of this. Thanks. It appears the second hand is aftermarket.

Thanks

Serial number shift issues.

It's not 1944.

The second hand would be the only hand on that I would trust.

Dial is also refinished.

probably a reference 6565 ca. 1957

Late 50s, refinished dial, hour and minute hands are replacements methinks.

Serial numbers for 50s Rolex watches are hard for the layman. They reset in the 50s and you have to go by style for an accurate date.

50s 6564 or 6565? Refinished dial which is common for these watches. Also second hand should be a blued second hand. Looks correct on your watch. Other hands are most likely replacements. Movement I am guessing if a 6564 is 1030.
