Inherited a Rolex. Please help

Hi,

I inherited a Rolex watch from my late grandfather. I think it's real. Band is definitely real. I have attached a picture.

Please let me know what you think and what it's worth.

I don't know, the mouse ears look a little "off" to me. Can you open it up and show the movement?

That can't be right. It has a submariner reference number.

I don't think they ever released a version with red gloves, all the MM watches I have seen have him wearing yellow gloves.

You know he really believes us. I kind of feel bad. I mean maybe we should have not teased him. Now he thinks he has a fake watch when it really is genuine. Should anyone message him and let him know it actually is real?

This is definitely a gas! After all the fake junk threads lately here complete with posters acting like belligerent trolls I think we needed something light hearted and fun!

Be careful! I saw the same watch on chrono24 2 years ago. I think it is a stock photo that is making the rounds. I doubt you will get the same watch pictured if you buy it.

Obviously this is worth quite a bit. Look at the aging on Mickeys face and shorts. This is a real vintage piece. This Rolex was even made before they had their dial printing perfected as shown by the way the Rolex name is attached.

Is this the MM equivalent of a red Ranger. Most people swear they don't exist, but I'm sure RSC would back this one.

I know plenty of Mickey Mouse watch repairers
