Ladies TT Datejust
My mother asked me to clean her watch and give it a polish and when I looked closely at it I became a little concerned with the authenticity. My Dad bought it around 30 years ago from a jewelry store called Hershbergs from a sales associate he trusted. The dial is showing evidence of rust and the caseback seems suspicious.

Nothing I can see wrong with the watch, please shoe the clasp markings.

Looks legit to me.
I am curious, is that is rust around the center of the dial under the hands? |

It's not rust on the dial, Rolex dials of this time had breakdown of the lacquer on dials. Band looks good but in bad condition.

It's original. Looks like a 69173 model. The band is stretched and the issue with the dial is common with some watches of this vintage. It deserves a service!

Typical of rolex dials after many years. May have had some moisture at one time. Looks like a very old watch. Caseback is right and so is the watch. Actually for a 30 year old watch, the dial looks pretty good
