My Rolex Datejust watch is real or fake?

I think your watch has a similar dial as this one (champagne jubilee serti dial; from an old Rolex ladies catalog I have):



Based on that picture the length of your hands seems to be ok.


Here is a picture of my wife’s DJ’s for reference. The diamond dial DJ (TT) came with a different dial when I bought it (used):

Pretty sure it's real but likely it was first sold with a non diamond dial. The dial you have is the older style and the diamonds sit higher. Often when people change to diamond dials they have to use short hands to give clearance.

Nice jubilee dial, with the old school and more beautiful diamond setting. The hands are not correct for this dial imo.
Font of the date is OK.
Sent it to your AD for a service quotation and than you will know for sure. If they don't want to service it ....

Case, bracelet and clasp look legit. Plenty of frenken watches out there, so drop it in to a RSC to check if the guts are real too.

Somethings not right with the hands....they look very short....date font is odd too....never ceases to amaze me that people buy stuff then ask if its real....probably better to do your research before,purchase

Look at the photo below as reference. However as said. I am no expert so maybe everything is ok. I would have it checked if I where you and in doubt.



Diamonds are too small too, and their setting is wrong. It's fake, or at least the dial is aftermarket.
But hands are too small as you say... It's fake.

Hi David, thanks with your comment. As for the hands I think different model have different design (attached photo). I took another closer photo and one of the same model for your reference. Perhaps can you take a look again. I appreciate your help!

Diamonds are the correct size and this dial has the MIR diamond setting which is correct for this era.

Enjoy your watch Zennbd.
