Just bought this Rolex for my wife on e bay. The guy sounded very genuine. Said the box was not the original but watch was definately authentic. Could I ask my better informed colleagues on here for their opinions please ? Many thanks and best regards, Oscar. E bay item number 140661671712 |

it looks fine to me... of course the dial and bezel look custom but other than that, looks okay... the only sure way is to crack open the caseback and taking a look at the movement, but I would take the seller's word for it. Just a heads up, these Rolex casebacks require special "keys" to open the caseback. They're far from your typical three prong screw back. The engraving on the caseback is also normal... typical of these Lady Datejusts from this era. I know because my mother's two tone DJ has the same writing. Normally the cardinal rule for Rolex casebacks are that they're supposed to be plain, and fakes usually have inscriptions on them, but this one looks okay too. |

When you take the bracelet, there are two sets of numbers engraved between the watch lugs. One side will most likely say "ORIG ROLEX DESIGN" and a reference number, in this case it should say 6917. On the other side it will say "STAINLESS STEEL" and most likely a seven digit serial number. You can estimate the date off of that number. |
