Help identifying year/model of a few vintage Rolex
Hey guys. My buddy at work lost his dad last year and recently was given a literal bag of watches. His dad was an attorney and had about 20-30 watches, from no name brands to diamond studded Rolex. Im trying to help him ID some pieces and haven't had much luck (i.e a Rolex DayDate but there's no day complication?) I've found a few but if any experts out there could weigh in with an approximate year/model I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

Out of the whole lot, only 1 of them looks possibly real. The rest of them are horrible fakes and should be smashed with a hammer.
The first picture of the two tone black dial date, we would need to see more pics of it to confirm if it is in fact real or not.

I agree that one needs further investigation, but the rest

I like the Day-Date without the day.

My son-in-law is an attorney and was given a nice lady's date to hold in lieu of payment a few years ago.
If we assume the story is true, I wonder how many of the watches were acquired in the same manner? |

That would be disappointing to learn dads Rolex collection was all bad fakes.
Day date missing the day is a bit funny. Instead of just skipping that model they made one without the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

That's incorrect... look up Rolex 15223... it's a two tone date (34 mm) with engine turned bezel... very common... as mentioned this is the only watch from the lot with a fighting chance... I would actually lean towards genuine since the counterfeits of this model are typically pretty horrendous, but of course, without having it in hand or at least better pics, its hard to say...

For better ID on the first one, need some more and better pics of the watch, bracelet and clasp.
As others have pointed out, the others are fake v Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Bezels are easily swapped to meet someone’s taste. A very common practice

Since the first pic is totally different from the rest, I wouldn't give it a second look.

Those are literally the worst fakes I've ever seen.
