Hey everyone, been on here just a few days now but it's a great site. Well like the title says I just got my first rolex. I've been waiting for this time since I got my first fake one in high school. I picked a pre-owned datejust two toned a few days ago on line. I've been waiting to post about on here till I found out if it was truly real or not. I'm at work right now on a ship so I couldn't do it my self, but I had the wife take it to the AD in Reno, and they said well it looks real, but wouldn't take off the back to look at the movement. So then I sent her to a watch repair place in the mall and had them do it and it is real. The only bad thing is it doesn't have a genuine band on it (anyone know where I can get one). Now I just have to wait two more weeks till I get home to wear it, and it's killing me. I will post some pictures if someone would tell me how.

Let me be the first to congratulate you. Datejusts are wonderful all around watches. If you go to the "for sale or Want to buy section" of this forum, you can probably find a good used bracelet. There are tons of them out there. Of course you can order a band from an AD, but since you watch is pre loved, a pre loved bracelet might be more appropriate.

Well like I said in the OP It's real the movment the case and dial and all is real it just has a aftermarket band on it. The bracelet clasp is real just not the band. Thanks everyone, this website is full of usefull info.
