Odd font on Datejust?

Hello,

I learning to spot fake Rolex, don't you think that this Datejust has an odd font?

It’s odd for another reason, too.

This is a Ref. 16030 it should have a Engine-Turned Bezel instead of a Fluted Bezel?

yea i'm kinda wondering myself. the lighting and coloring is real bad in the pic but i don't see anything alarming to label it as a fake. everything appears to be rolex to me. oh...and John Buckley was particularly proud when that style dial was named after him

Thanks Janice, I agree, although the bezel was replaced.

I LOVE the blue buckley. I tried to snipe a vintage Thunderbird with a blue buckley in gorgeous condition with papers. I missed it by $200. This is where I should have said to myself that it's ok to slightly overpay for something you really covet and plan on holding for years to come. Live and learn.

Love this too, what’s a reasonable $$ range for finding one?
