Opinions on the authenticity of this DateJust?

These pictures are not the best, to say the least...

Bstewart · 17 February 2023, 07:45 AM

No one can tell you a single thing from those photos.

EEpro · 17 February 2023, 07:52 AM

Datejust II would be the model if it's real. Looks like someone swiped a prisoners personal belongings bag

Thanks, I hope you're wrong.

Right?! Great guess - it's an airport security bag.

How much do you have to pay for it. It's a toss up. I don't see any obvious reason to think it's fake but it's in a bag! Lol

I'd probably have to go $5-6k for the bagful.

Fun to think about but I'd have to say no. Even if real the owner that left it behind could have reported it lost / stolen to Rolex and you go to service it and it's gone.

Great point. If authentic, I do hope the true owner recovers it. Unless they've already collected the insurance $$$

Tough to tell from the pictures but the bezel doesn't look right.

wesdaniel · 18 February 2023, 08:49 AM

The bezel looks way too fat, although it could be angles and the fact that it's in a plastic bag.

huncho · 18 February 2023, 09:13 AM

agree that the bezel looks fake here

Chewbacca · 18 February 2023, 01:45 PM

What is that, a customs confiscated asset sale grab bag?

GGGMT · 18 February 2023, 02:11 PM

Bezel too thick.

I first thought TSA, but then why would they seize watches? Maybe watches people forgot in those trays...

They seize fakes and lob them into used sandwich bags. Real ones go to auctions with washrooms and climate control.

Not a Rolex expert by far but my first reaction upon seeing the pic was the bezel is off / too wide in line with others.

train-time · 19 February 2023, 03:47 AM

Assuming it's a DJII, they had proportionally wider bezels for their size, but this bezel seems to have more and closer flutes than I believe it should have. Just an observation but it would appear to me that the flutes on the bezel should be further apart and deeper cut. My vote says it likely fake.

AndVegas · 19 February 2023, 04:59 AM

Very close - it's an airport lost & found auction bag. FYI, it sold for $5,400!

I agree with others here that the bezel just doesn't look right.

My thoughts exactly.

There were several watches in it as best as I can tell.
