Verify DJ for me please
There is a new attorney that started working for us. I wanted to see what you guys think of this?..
It only says "swiss" on the bottom?...is that correct?

Dial appears to be off - rotated a little clockwise.

Something about the bracelet looks off to me.

I think that your new attorney has very bad taste in watches..

Hard to say from a single photo.. the dial is fake, the bezel is likely aftermarket too as they didn't generally put such things on SS DJ's.. The bracelet is from a decade ago or more (if real at all)

At worst, it is a fake... at the least it is an older DJ that's been rebuilt with aftermarket enhancements..

Def not the expert yet in telling fake from real, but this just looks off in so many ways.

It's just custom dial and bezel. Possibly Italian bracelet. I don't think it looks bad. Just not 100% authentic. Have to see the mvmt to verify.

I told him that I was looking at buying a new rolex and I was wanting to see what that style looked like on my wrist and to show the pick to my wife. It also has a super faded lime green sticker on the back.

It's pretty bad I know. I don't have the heart to tell him I think it's fake though.

That looks like a botched plastic surgery, I hate when the diamond bezel is wider than the original. Its so wide it almost covers up the crown, Rolex does a better job of making their own diamond bezels. It might be a real Rolex, with aftermarket parts.

Aftermarket. Though, I have seen factory replacement/service dials with the words swiss only.

Scary. It's too bad a man's watch with diamonds, even it is fake or genuine.

If it was an original dial with just added diamonds, it would be an "aftermarket"..

This one has overly inked fonts, a poor crown at 12 o'clock, and has therefore been manufactured to look like a Rolex dial; a fake.. Or, it may have been refinished but done poorly..
