Is this Rolex real or a fake?

I have had this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust for several years. I think I got it from a relative who passed. It's much too small for my wrist. Would someone be able to tell me if it's real? If you need more pics let me know.

There's a couple things that look odd to me, but I'm no expert by any measure.

I'd start by removing the bracelet and checking for a serial number.

Fake...18k stamp on a stainless steel case makes it easy to tell.

How many times have you replaced the battery?

A. For years and now is when you consider authenticating?
B. You think you got it from a relative who passed? A Rolex and you "think"? You don't know how you stumbled on a purported Rolex?

I smell something not right not only with photo.
