After market(counterfeit?) DJ cases
As posted on the VRF, they both say Rolex which takes them from after market territory into counterfeit I presume.

Used fake cases, giving the illusion of being real with the patina and wear marks

I dont see any obvious wear through that you normally see on a plated fake case. You would probably have to do an acid test or use a spectrometer to know for sure.

Assay marking is a legal requirement ONLY done by ASSAY offices. If these items are fraudulently assaying incorrectly it is more serious than selling fake watches
