Dangit, People? This is the vintage forum, there are numerous tells that it is at least mostly legit. From the bezel, to the crown to the case shape.

I don't believe those screamin' fake were "experts" at all. I don't recall seeing most of them posting resourceful or helpful information in the past.

It’s interesting how many of the Datejusts from this era end up being passed off as fakes. I remember someone posting one here that he picked up at a pawn shop with the guy behind the desk insisting it was a “fake Rolex.”

All looks positive so far but a pix of the movement would still be good to see.

Thanks for the advice regarding opening it up, yes it was just a tool from eBay/China.
I spoke to him yesterday about taking it somewhere and to someone with more expertise and so on, I’m hoping he may just take it off my hands now as I don’t want to do any damage. |

One issue with opening up Rolex cases by yourself is that you usually have no way of testing waterproofness afterwards.
