Plz help in recognizing this model? Authentic or FAKE?

Dear Rolex Gurus,

I am new in to this hobby infact a novice. I have had in my Possession two date-just. I am wondering if anyone can help me identify by looking at the pictures if this kind model was ever release by ROLEX. and how can verify if its legit? Dont want to go watchmaker and put myself in embarrassment in the store and finding out its a fake. So your expert advice would be helpful.

The best thing to say regarding the left watch, is that they managed to spell ROLEX correct.

The one on the left is very rare and valuable. It’s part of Rolex’s short-lived ‘Drunk Watchmaker’ series where they allowed their watchmakers to work after consuming an excessive amount of cheap tequila. Giveaways for this series are beautiful details like the little hour dots being perfectly placed in positions other than where they should be. To the untrained eye it may look like very poor quality control or even a fake, but Rolex experts would know you have a very rare piece.

The staging sleeve is wrapped in so much fabric. At least it's keeping your watches somewhat secure.

Well fellows, just got back from a long travel only to find that I have been keeping junk in my trunk. Good that i did not ever tried to flaunt these. But thank you all folks for the help. I would still like to know, what the original look like? I mean if anyone of you experts can enlighten me with the model reference numbers of these which I could google or better if anyone can share a picture of legit piece
Cheers
