very vintage...... or very fake oyster perpetual

I got this watch cleaning out a old house, it has some residue behind the glass which I hope can be cleaned easily if it is real.

But, I've searched around the net everywhere and have found nothing on this watch, so am starting to think it is a vintage replica.

It says japan movt on the bottom of the face, and seems to be very cheapy for a real rolex, but it is also very old looking so I dont know what to think.

anyone have any info on this pictured watch??

Freddy, I haven't seen that model before. My guess is that it is a fake.

If it says japan anywhere on the watch then it is definitely a fake that is for sure.

freddy, it's a bit less than genuine.

It's a early 80's Fake. By the late 80's they started marking them Swiss made.

Hi Freddy,

That's such a bad fake, that it needs to be pulverised to this!!
