Is this rolex datejust GEN or FAKE?

[Manray]

Hello,

I've been offered this datejust for sale but the owner lives in another city.

Do you think it can be gen or it is definitely fake? I am wondering about the crown height.

fake

fake

because?

 

[nonox]

Second hand is missing
Gap between case and bracelet (probably not a Rolex bracelet but aftermarket with wrong size)
the general used of the watch shows a quality of steel really cheap
Crown is too big

Overall looks rep to me

owner says his father bought it in 1984, it might not be true but were fake watches "so nice" back then?

of course bracelet is not rolex.

Oh my Christ, my eyes! Fuck me, that's ugly.

I'm not saying it's fake btw, I haven't a clue, but it's a shocker either way.

How much? BTW. Fake.

You've been on this forum since 2014 and can't tell this is fake? Have you been napping the whole time?!

This specimen is not from 1984. I would say it’s manufactured in the last 15 years. No noe are considering purchasing a vintage without looking at the movement, ask for pics of the 3035.

Open it up and you know for sure... but does not look fully genuine to me

Best answer!

I can't buy without seeing the movement but it's a 4 hour trip to get where she lives so I am thinking it's not worth it. We haven't discuss price as she's not sure it is gen, and she don't know how to open the back.


Thank you all.

I meant I would ask seller to open this up.
Looking at the pics I would argue that the xtal and datewheel is a REP. Glad you asked here and not fronted the green.
