Inherited a Rolex. Please help
Hi,
I inherited a Rolex watch from my late grandfather. I think it's real. Band is definitely real. I have attached a picture. Please let me know what you think and what it's worth. |

I don't know, the mouse ears look a little "off" to me. Can you open it up and show the movement?

Can't put my finger on it but something just doesn't look right about the dial.

I don't think they ever released a version with red gloves, all the MM watches I have seen have him wearing yellow gloves.

It appears that the Rolex logo is laser etched!

You know he really believes us. I kind of feel bad. I mean maybe we should have not teased him. Now he thinks he has a fake watch when it really is genuine. Should anyone message him and let him know it actually is real?

This is definitely a gas! After all the fake junk threads lately here complete with posters acting like belligerent trolls I think we needed something light hearted and fun!

Be careful! I saw the same watch on chrono24 2 years ago. I think it is a stock photo that is making the rounds. I doubt you will get the same watch pictured if you buy it.

Obviously this is worth quite a bit. Look at the aging on Mickeys face and shorts. This is a real vintage piece. This Rolex was even made before they had their dial printing perfected as shown by the way the Rolex name is attached.

I don't think the hands are original.
