Submariner 13268, age, value?

First time posting here in hope that someone can give me more information on this particular watch.

I suspect it is genuine and circa 60's or 70's.

Can you point to anything that leads you to suspect it’s genuine?

It was worn for many years by prominent wealthy doctor before it got passed down to a family member, before that person gifted it to my husband.
The OG owner had sports cars and several mansions so he doesn't strike me as someone who wears fakes.

Other than that I have no knowledge or expertise of any kind to tell you if its real or not. That's why im hoping someone here can help me determine that.

Sorry, entirely as others say.

A counterfeit item.

It doesn't say RALEX anywhere. But thank you for your input.
It was hard to upload photos to this forum due to size limits.

Yeah, it’s unfortunately an absolute fake, from the case to the dial to the hands to the bracelet.

The doctor could’ve been unaware it was a fake. Who knows??

Seriously

No, it is not authentic, also there is no such thing as a Sub 13268

I suspect that your suspicion of authenticity may be suspect.

OHH! OK.

And the O.P. vanishes. Guess this didn't go as they had planned.
