Miyota Co Japan

Hi,

If a watch says Miyota Co Japan and One 1 jewel when you take the back casing off is it most certainly a fake Rolex ? The watch would be from 1960 ish maybe even earlier.

Anyones help on this matter would be very gratefully received.

Nikki

Any advice would be gratefully received..

On the back it says Unadjusted Miyota Co Japan and also One 1 Jewel.

I'm confused over quartzes having jewels at all- I didn't think they did.

It is counterfeit. Where is the date window - the dial does read Datejust?

Sorry 'bout that. It definitely could be Geneva and not Datejust.

could be that the movement was replaced... only for the fact that i dont think anyone would bother to fake that model watch, no offense, it's just that its not a well known model (to me at least) :-D

15 - 20 years ago there were thousands of watches similar to this around, basically anything in any shape or form with the Rolex coronet and a mixture of geneve, Swiss you name it, most I saw were in the streets or main cities in China and Hong Kong even London.

Chepo 20 buck fakeroos, every one I knew would come back with a fakeroo or 10 to give to friends, I got laughed at many time when I arrived home with a new genuine Rolex LOL.
