Hi all, i'm new here...

I have an old Rolex, not sure if it's real, but looks VERY old to be a fake.

It was my dad's.

here are pictures of the front and back:

I know the strap is NOT real, it's just a citizen one, I also think the case may be from something else? anyway, I'm asking about the face and backing as I might slowly get it restored if i can find out what it is.

Cheers,
Scott

Unfortunately the face and back is fake too...Rolex has never made anything that looks like that.

Everything is beyond fake....

Being no Xpert.. but have seen A Lot of Rolex's... this does not appear to be authentic., Besides being a Quartz...and not being labeled as an 'Oyster Quartz' - or the like, - I'd have concerns of it authenticity. Just my opinion...!
