Datejust - fake or original
So there is this guy selling his grandfather's Datejust claiming its vintage. It is so tempting. But he says he has no time to come down to a showroom to authenticate it. Ive attached some pics here. Can the good Samaritans of this group let me know whether I can go ahead with the sale or not please.

Thank you

We don't usually discuss reasons why because this can help the scammers but this one has very short hands

Without an emotocon, some may have read it as true.
