Help...not sure if fake or authentic
Hello all. My aunt passed away recently and we found this when cleaning out her house. From what I've read, it could be a vintage ladies oyster perpetual datejust but I'm not sure about the markings. Please help

16610 is a sub, not datejust. Nothing about that watch is right.

The endlinks, the caseback, the bracelet, the crown, the crystal, etc, etc. I could keep going. Too many things are wrong on that piece. You have a nice $1 straight from the street corner fake on your hands OP.

It amazes me that someone would take all the time and energy to design and engineer a reproduction, but not five minutes to research the reference numbers (not to mention the fact that ref. numbers aren't engraved on the case backs.) that's the easy part.

Is this what you call research?

Do yourself a favor and just type Rolex 16610 in Google and see how many ladies DJ's pops up.
