I just used my 10x Lupe to peek into the corners of my watch storage safe and the only thing I could find was finger prints and dust balls?? Are you sure that was pushed back into a corner?

The lume dots look a little off.....Or maybe it's the camera angle...A Rolex should be flawless! Just look at the dial, the font etc, if it's not 100% then I would question its authenticity. Take it to an AD, the PI is famous for fakes. I was in the US Navy for 23 years, had tons of PI friends and along with their legit Rolex they had a fake as well.

Looks to be a 1803 with pie pan dial but real or not is impossible to tell by your pictures.

Padi,

Maybe it's my eyes but the last picture still looks like a pie pan dial.

The serial and model numbers are on the watch case between the lugs...

You have to remove the bracelet to see them.

Take off the bracelet at the 6 oclock side you should see the serial number between the lugs. Take off the 12 oclock and you should find the model number
