A - DJII only comes in Oyster Bracelet and not Jubilee. This watch is either modified and the Oyster Bracelet has been replaced with a Jubilee (I was told this is not possible as I wanted Jubilee on my DJII as well)
B- It is a FAKE, I will let the pros here give their thoughts. I consider myself a Rolex newbie still.

As mentioned, DJIIs have only come on Oyster since they were introduced.
The dial marker also look very suspicious.
Run far, run fast.

The buyer converted it from Oyster to Jubilee.

I don't like the dial. The band looks mismatched also at best.

I'd pass.

I would suggest the Crown on the dial looks dodgy; but I'm far from being an expert.

Then the "conversion" was done with non-OEM parts because Rolex does not currently make a Super Jubilee bracelet in this lug width. That would make me even more suspicious of the watch.

All things considered, this it starting to add to a Craigslist scam BS scam. Thanks for the info on the jubilee bracelet.

The band would not be Rolex made I believe as they don't make jubilee for the 41mm DJ2, I don't think the lugs on a 36mm Rolex where a jubilee would be could be out on a 41mm Rolex lug. So, I'm going to say that the band is fake. Therefore, I have doubts on whether the rest of the watch is real.

Fake.

The roman numerals look like something that I drew in 1st grade.

Judging from the photos, I'd say:

...the clasp crown is the worst replica job I've ever seen. The case back is horrible and the dial is clearly fake.

IMO, that watch is worth about $40, at best. And that's if shipping is included in the price.

I'd give it a two down.

Bracelet is definitely fake. If watch head is original (You need to open it up, and check the lugs), please fit it with a genuine bracelet.
