Questions About Inherited DateJust Quartz
I just received this from my mother. It had belonged to my Grandfather. It's been in a safety deposit box for the last 20 years. I was hoping to get some information about this model.
I'm also wondering about the caseback since it's doesn't look like an oyster back. Also the bracelet doesn't have a signed clasp so is it aftermarket? Finally who should I take this to for getting it running again? We are pretty close to Rolex Beverly Hills. Thanks in advance! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk |

That is a fake watch trying to copy a Datejust with a mechanical movement. Google Rolex Oyster Quartz, and you will see a real one. Sorry to give you the bad news.

Thanks! I was slightly concerned about that possibility upon seeing the caseback and bracelet. Before I give my mom the bad news, there is no chance any part of this is genuine?

Two Tone .. A different way of describing it as Rolesor

the watch is fake..
Getting it running again is probably just a new battery.

You’ve got to see the funny side of it being sat in a safety deposit box for 20 years!

Looks like an old Bulova or Seiko, or a brand that used to pay heavy homage to Rolex and, someone put a Rolex dial into it. I've seen much worse fake dials especially 20-30 years ago.

Oh that’s a shame. Something similar happened to me. My late father in law had purchased a gold rado and kept it for many years planning to present it to his future son in law one day. Obviously he gave it to me but I saw it immediately. Told my wife but never revealed to him because he’d have been so disappointed in himself. I’m glad I kept my mouth shut. Perhaps you don’t have to tell your mom?
