Hello all,
I am interested in your opinion as to the authenticity of these two Rolex watches. Do they look legit, and should I have any concerns about buying either one? I know that they are just pictures of the outside of the watches (no movement pictures), but does anything stick out as “wrong”? Thank you in advance for any help everyone can give.

Very cool looking vintage pieces.
They look good to me. Of course the best way to authenticate is to pop off the caseback.

No idea from a single picture.

The bezel on the Datejust looks very rough

Thank you for the responses. I really appreciate it. I have contacted the seller of the oyster Perpetual, and he is going to send me pictures of the movement (I will post them when I get them). Also... Is it just me that thinks the Rolex crown at 12 o’clock looks kind of off, or is it just the picture?

They look good to me - remember though: buy the seller first! then buy the watch.

That OP looks like a mosaic / shantung dial, see THIS thread.

Hard to tell by pics but that OP looks cool on a strap. Is the DJ a turn-o-graph? I guess that's why its off.

The hands look short to me on the leather strap watch.

Yes

You want my opinion?

The first one has no bracelet but comes with an ugly strap.

The second is simply ugly.

I suppose the first one might be worth considering if the watch head is correct and it comes with the full set and a proper service history that explains things like the missing bracelet. If not I would pass.

I just noticed the short hands on the OP! Thanks to who pointed it out. Now that it has been I can’t stop seeing it. Fake or Frankenstein right?
