I just received a datejust that I bought on ebay, most signs of authenticity checked out except for the fact that the T Swiss Made T was not at the far bottom of the face, rather it was just above the tick marks. I have never seen this before, does this mean that it is fake? If it make a difference the dial is MOP and the serial # is 6,XXX,XXX
Thanks!

Pictures would surely help your cause. Can't say much merely on the description, but thats just me!

chinguel · 9 November 2012, 08:07 AM

Can you post some pictures of the dial? And the watch ?
Regards

Sorry for the iPhone pics

I am sorry but it looks off the date does not look magnified..

mrbill2mrbill2 · 9 November 2012, 09:56 AM

I'm not a DJ expert. But, the T Swiss Made T looks off.

mmmk604 · 9 November 2012, 10:05 AM

Magnification looks okay but the T Swiss Made T looks kinda small...
All the text on the watch looks off to me as well.

All the text is off, the dial is refinished. Bezel is not original Rolex. I would check the band carefully it looks like a rebuilt watch. Other areas I would be concerned about are an aftermarket crystal and crown tube and seals.

Oh mai....what does that leave as original. The movement, the case?

Only opening up the caseback shows us what's inside.
The case may be real, but hard to judge from one picture alone.

The bezel is not made by Rolex. The dial is not from Rolex. That is not a good start for a genuine Rolex!!!!!!!!!!!!

grandmasterP · 9 November 2012, 01:46 PM

is that a boy size datejust? 31mm? or 36mm? the crown doesn't look right to me

rolexgolfer · 10 November 2012, 08:36 AM

36MM, The band looks authentic but there is just to much wrong with the watch for me to be interested in it. I am going to return it as part of ebay buyer protection. Thank you TRF!!

vintagewaferthin · 11 November 2012, 06:51 AM

glad you passed on the watch. theres just too much wrong with it.

A.Sharp · 12 November 2012, 05:58 PM

Little blurry but he 'A's didn't look like correct font... Glad you are giving it back!
