Hi guys,
I'm very new to the scene and I'm looking to purchase my first vintage.
I'm just came across this and was wondering if this is real/fake or refinished?
Seller claims its from the 1960s with rolex casing.
Thanks!

Dial is refinished

Thanks for the quick response!
Is there anything else in this watch I should be aware of?
What do you think the value is for this refinished watch?
Cheers

but it's a cheap Vietnamese dial.

Gotta be cheap to be worth it (and you'll need a dial!)

The dial's attractive enough but it's refinished and negatively impacts on the watch's value.

And something's amiss with that case. Almost looks like plating is chipping off.
That's a bit of a worry for a case that was originally polished - not plated

Seems the notches on the case-back have had a hammering too - you can do a lot better.

Roughly $300, but like others have said, plenty of better watches out there.
