Rolex DayDate

Hello everyone
I have 18k DayDate Rolex it's since 1987-1992 in perfect condition but the serial
number has been deleted, I think when my dad give it to the watch maker to
carve his name on the bottom he delete the serial number and my dad didn't see,
I found the watch recently after. It has been 10years in the closet.
How I can know the serial number ?
Here below 2 pics of my Rolex

A few things look OK, but the proportions of font, diamond hour markers, hands, cyclops.

Yeah no good boss.

You reckon it could be a stolen watch that had aftermarket stuff put in? The day font…

For op if you have already been paid and it’s not your watch anymore why you asking all this?

Only reason people rub off the serial is because they want to hid something, ie it’s stolen… good luck with RSC… something doesn’t quite feel right about all this.

To see the serial number, you have to remove the bracelet. On one end will be the serial number and the other will be the reference number. If they are not there, it's a fake. No jeweler would remove the serial number or reference number.
