Well its looks like you have the information what watch is but they do say a picture paints a thousands words.With the information you have given it looks like a TT DJ on jubilee bracelet from around the 1980s.

thanks, this is a great site, impressive, as im unable to load photos, I could email, if you would like, I will see if some friends know a local watch master on the weekend, see about opening it. it actually has" T Swiss made T" and has quite a lot of old dirt, particularly around the wind pin, winds beautiful tho. Dial is clear and pretty, some wear on glass, and damage on date bubble. and no numerals. I would assume some good copies were made in the old days, but it could be authentic, have been looking but have not seen same watch as yet. thanks for your interest. Sassafrass.

Just found pic on another post "what kind of Rolex do you have" and the post there from Rolex pete all looks the same, except the bars, or sticks in the dial, his are angled at their ends, mine are straight bars. thanks sass.

All you are reading is the information off the bracelet, not the watch head. the information needed is on the sides of the case underneath the bracelet..

All we can say is already what has been said.. Datejust, Two tone bracelet from ~1980.

If the bracelet has not been changed then the watch would be from the same era.. if all is authentic.

Need photos d12 bracelet code needs investigation re authenticity.

sassafrass · 4 April 2014, 08:59 PM

hopefully photos this time.

sassafrass · 4 April 2014, 09:14 PM

maybe there are photos now?

sassafrass · 4 April 2014, 09:17 PM

yay photos are go..

a picture tells a thousand words for sure. thanks for your patience. Sass.

sassafrass · 4 April 2014, 09:27 PM

found Rolex today on Ebay, the face seemed the same but the band was a poorer quality with open ended link ends and I will assume unauthentic..as per the original one.
next mission is to be photos with the back off, will post them when I have them. Happy.
thanks Sass.

Something doesn't look right with that DJ. Has the dial been refinished? Maybe it's just the photos.

Old Expat Beast · 5 April 2014, 02:26 AM

That does not look good at all.

cfw · 5 April 2014, 02:47 AM

Also your cyclops doesn't magnify enough and the crown sit a bit far from the casing

sassafrass · 5 April 2014, 02:45 PM

Another photo.

sassafrass · 5 April 2014, 02:47 PM

Hi, thanks for your response, have posted band number photos, camera isn't great.
thanks Sassafrass.

sassafrass · 5 April 2014, 02:52 PM

close up of D 12.

The bracelet is fake/pieced together and the watch is suspect. It has a hallmark on the back and so we need the model number off the case to match, and a good look at the movement..

a couple things don't seem correct...
aside from what was mentioned about the Cyclopes being off-set,
the ROLEX crown seems to encroach on the hash marks... jmo
