(Help) Identify Day-Date Watch

Rolex noob here,

Need help identifying a day-date watch from a picture (not mine). All I know is that it's a daydate president. Any information providing possible model numbers and production year would be appreciated. What would the ideal price be?

To me that bezel looks highly suspect. Can you upload better pics

I’d almost be willing to bet that’s a fake watch

The count of the flutes seems off on the bezel as does the angle and finish. Hard to say from the photos. It looks like a DDII wannabee. Missing in the photo is the warrantee card. It also looks dirty as hell.

Know who you are doing business with! Buy the seller then buy the watch. Spending a little extra is worth it for piece of mind.

Agree with all the above! Just going by the photo that bezel is definitely not kosher imo. Sticks out like a sore thumb on the photo, far too big somehow. Walk away from it, it´s probably a fake or a franken watch!

Thanks for replying everyone. Sadly I already paid him a bit for him to bring it to a jeweller to get it fixed. He told me recently it’s a Day-Date 18238 but he can’t provide anymore photos because it’s still left with the jeweller.
