This is a watch that I purchased in late 1981 or early 1982 from a friend. The Manufactures Case/Model Number is #1807 and based on the serial no it is about a 1940 watch. I assume it isd possible that a digit is worn off the case that I can not read. As you can see (I hope I have uploaded pix) it has a diamond face and diamond bezel with 44 round cut stones being approx .02pts each.

I think I may sell this watch and purchase a new SS Date/Just. What would be you thought as to the value of the watch based on what you can see. I do not know if the face and bezel are after market or original Rolex. I had it appraised back in 1982 to be able to clear customs as I had problems coming back from CanCun once so I always traveled with the appraisal.

ANY THOUGHTS..............

Diamomd bezel should not go with 1807. Instead, 1807 should come with bark bezel. Also, the font of the words on the dial seems to be different from the original. I would suggest you go to the Rolex Service Centre to authenticate the watch.

I would definitely take it to have it authenticated before you sell it.
I see some real issues with that watch.

With all due respect. From the pics I don't believe it is a Rolex.

Dial is refinished, bezel is not original, bracelet is stretched. Still a rolex. At this point it's a case, and movement.

"Serious issues" as Steven rightly remarked ...

Nothing looks right. Also the "9" inside the watch is very strange - apart from all things you fellas pointed out.

Sorry Oysterp, but doesn't look like a Rolex
