Hello everyone I was gifted a oyster perpetual datejust from my father in law. I took the band off to find the serial number but there isn't one. The watch has been worn a fair bit over the years. Can serial numbers wear off? Any info would be appreciated.

Absolutely they can wear off. Please post a pic of the effected area

They can wear off. Can you get a close look with a loupe?

You can usually tell if numbers have been worn off, or if there were never any numbers there at all.

Wronald123 · 1 November 2019, 10:29 PM

looked with a loupe and couldn't see any numbers. Will get some pics up today.

Not looking good IMO

To my untrained eye it looks like a fake to me.

Well that explains the no serial number.
Apparently your father in law isn't very happy you married his daughter since he gave you a fake watch and wants you to look stupid wearing it.

Wronald123 · 2 November 2019, 01:12 AM

Circles that was a great response! Thanks everyone I though it was fake but just wanted to make sure.

Date wheel no good for starters.

MasterMindPL · 8 November 2019, 01:10 AM

Datewheel, bezel, crown, hands, dial - everything is wrong, so yup, 100% fake.

Rollied · 8 November 2019, 03:05 AM

Engrave it with "Thanks, but no thanks", put it in a nice wrapping paper, and put it under the tree

I remember my uncle having one of these crappy Chinese quartz fakes back in the late 80s. Looked so tacky and I couldn’t believe he wore it all the time.
